No Speed / Heading #63

Closed chasgames closed 6 years ago

Not sure whether related to my iPhone X, but i'm experiencing these problems on the iOS Client:

  1. When you remove app from background, system just kills it. It means nothing would work after that.

  2. It means that you are not using GPS location (high accuracy).

For questions like this you should be using forum.

Wow that was a quick close!

  1. I thought other apps like IFTTT can get my location whilst the app is closed using Background App Refresh/ "Long-Running Background Tasks". I don't see Traccar in the Background App Refresh list. I checked the dev docs https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/LocationAwarenessPG/CoreLocation/CoreLocation.html "iOS supports the delivery of location events to apps that are suspended or no longer running. " Are you sure it's not possible?

  2. I've switched to high accuracy before (after searching around it's definitely not clear, why does it not tell me in the APP?), I've done it again and still no speed or heading and I'm checking the latest logs and Course is always N in reporting and all the markers are facing N. I've tried restarting the traccar client aswell. Still want me to go to the forums?

  1. It's only possible for significant location updates (not realtime GPS) and for apps that were not explicitly stopped by user (your case).

  2. Even with high accuracy you might not be using GPS. For example, GPS doesn't work indoors, so you get network location without speed and heading.

Yes, please for general questions use forum. Github is only for development-related discussions.
