Hi Paul
Our internal GPS works well, without gpsd, and runs on the command line. So technically speaking, we can do without an app if we have maps on hand.
We tried OpenCPN first - for days we tried installing it from different sources and also tried many other gps apps. We've been looking at forums for days too and nothing we try seems to work. We also just got Debian 10 and are new to Linux. So changing the operating system now is not on the table for us.
Our external gps are in storage so we will have to try your other suggestions a bit later.
If we have breakthrough, we'll let you know so others can benefit.
Kind regards,
S & T

If you have a spare external USB GPS available, maybe try using that instead, to see if it is a software problem or a GPS problem. You could also download a Debian 12 live image, boot it and try to see if that works too. Maybe also try Debian 10/11 live images. You can do `apt update` and `apt install gpsd foxtrotgps` on the live images too. Since the FoxtrotGPS POIs are just in an sqlite database, it should be easy to automate the conversion of GPS fixes to FoxtrotGPS POIs, the georss2foxtrotg
