Does new Installer require not settings for Geo??

[bikramtpa]

As I can remember, the old installer needed Geo location to be set. But just a minute before I was trying to reinstall, didnt ask for geo location. Does that mean, I dont need to set Geo anymore???

Gateway position information can be configured in the TTN console. TTN requested to send only real GPS information, not fake GPS information from gateways to the back-end so there is no need to configure this.

Thank your :)

Hi, thx for great work!

I have an Mlinux Conduit, with ublox GPS. vi /etc/default/gpsd shows it's configured and enabled. gpsmon shows it has a fix port used by gpsd is /dev/ttyXRUSB2

install.sh doesn't ask if I want to use the GPS. I edited localconf.json after install to enable GPS.

        "gps": true,
        "fake_gps": false,

but still TTN site doesn't show location according to gpsd fix, only shows default location based (I think) from public IP. Is there something I have missed?

gpsd is not used. You will need to stop gpsd and specify the correct device in the configuration: "gps_tty_path": "/dev/ttyXRUSB2"

Thanks, that helped. I stopped gpsd following instructions at:

Now, my log shows this:

However I still don't see the map coming through to our things network console gateway. More tips?

[kersing]

Check the metadata for a packet send by a node to see if it contains the GPS data. If it does the gateway is configured correctly and you need to look elsewhere.

I can confirm the gps data is included as metadata when viewing the application traffic. It doesn’t show as metadata when viewing the gateway traffic. I’ll search further elsewhere to work out why the general location in out TTI instance hasn’t updated. Thanks!
