I think the existing gpsd.service has a bug in that it states
After=chronyd.service when the correct service is chrony.service

Title:
  gpsd should start after chrony if they are being used together

Status in chrony package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in gpsd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When using GPSD to provide a time signal over a socket to chrony, it
  is necessary to start gpsd after chrony (I think this is so that gpsd
  finds the /var/run/chrony.ttySX.sock file when it launches). gpsd
  tends to want to drop privileges quickly which makes it hard for it to
  find this file later, aiui.
