GPS Feature

The GPS Signal can be obtained and used via different ways:

  • Webinterface
  • GPS over IP
  • cli status interface
  • inside of SDK Skripts

Webinterface

The Webinterface already give you access to the GPS Data. This can be suitable to have a quick look on the current status of a vehicle.

GPS over IP

We use version 3.9 of gpsd as a GPS via IP Daemon

We support the following modes:

  • on request (clients must send R after connect to get NMEA frames)
  • in raw mode (clients are served directly with NMEA frames after connection)
  • in super raw mode (clients are served directly with NMEA frames after connection)
  • in JSON mode (the new JSON interface is provided to clients after connection)
// get JOSN
?WATCH={'enable':true,'json':true}
// get NMEA
?WATCH={'enable':true,'json':false}
?WATCH={'enable':true,'nmea':true}

For more information on the new JSON interface see http://www.catb.org/gpsd/client-howto.html
