Global Navigation Satellite System for OpenWrt LuCi

Gpoint was created in order to use full set of functions of mobile modules installed in OpenWRT router. Manufacturers of GSM/3G/LTE modems often lay down GNSS function, so why not use it? It doesn't matter if you use a router in transport or it is installed in your terminal, you can always find out its location!

Features

• Support: GPS, GLONASS (works with "NMEA 0183" standard protocol)
• GPSD is supported for parsing NMEA data from a modem or your gps device
• GeoHash (reduces drift of GPS\GLONASS coordinate readings in parking)
• Kalman filter (Implementation of Kalman filter for geo (gps) tracks. This is a Lua port of original C code)
• Yandex Locator API (Determines location by nearest Wi-Fi access points)
• Simple GeoFence a virtual perimeter for a real-world geographic area
• Server side (sends GNSS data to a remote server)
• Support OpenLayers maps in UI, and much more!

How to add an unsupported device

• Most importantly, your device should be able to constantly send NMEA data to any of the available ports.

  EXAMPLE: /dev/ttyUSB*

• In the model file, you must add the vid, pid, and name of your device.

  MODEL PATH: /usr/lib/lua/luci/model/cbi/gpoint/gpoint.lua

  ADD DEVICE:

  local modems = {
    ["Quectel"] = {
        ["2c7c:0306"] = "EP06",
        ...
    },
    ["MY_DEVICE_VENDOR_NAME"] = {
        ["PID:VID"] = "MODEL_NAME",
        ...
    }

• It is necessary to add commands to start/stop sending data to the port in the configuration file. (if such commands are not required, you must set "-" instead of commands)

  CONFIG PATH: /usr/share/gpoint/lib/config.lua

  ADD DEVICE:

  local MODEM = {
    DELL = {
        START = "AT+GPS=1",
        STOP = "AT+GPS=0"
    },
    MY_DEVICE_WITH_START/STOP_COMMAND = {
        START = "DEVICE_AT_COMMAND_TO_START",
        STOP = "DEVICE_AT_COMMAND_TO_STOP"
    },
    MY_DEVICE_WITHOUT_COMMAND = {
        START = '-',
        STOP = '-'
    }

• That's it! Now your device works with GPoint!
