Sorry, didn't spot that you had chained command.

You also need to 'stop' the socket to fully stop everything, you need to
stop 'gpsd' and 'gpsd.socket'.:

$ systemctl stop gpsd.service
Warning: Stopping gpsd.service, but it can still be activated by:
  gpsd.socket
$ systemctl stop gpsd.socket

Or in one invocation:

$ systemctl stop gpsd.socket gpsd



In the output that you have provided, an sysvinit script seems to be
called but there is a systemd service file provided by Debian.

Also from one of your link:

"# /etc/systemd/system/gpsd.socket.d/socket.conf
[Socket]
# First blank ListenStream clears the system defaults
ListenStream=
ListenStream=2947
ListenStream=/var/run/gpsd.sock"

That is don't touch '/lib/systemd/system/gpsd.socket' but add in
'/etc/systemd/system/gpsd.socket.d/socket.conf' only what need to be
changed.

HTH.
