Summary
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based radionavigation system. This page is an overview of the GPS service in {{{name}}} devices.
If you're having trouble finding this page or some of the parameters described here on your device's WebUI, you should turn on "Advanced WebUI" mode. You can do that by clicking the "Advanced" button, located at the top of the WebUI.
Map
The Map page displays the device's current coordinates and position on the map. To see the device's location on the map, make sure to attach the GPS antenna on the device and enable GPS in the General page.
The figure below is an example of the Map page:
General
The General is used to enable the GPS service and the support for different types satellites. Once you turn on GPS, you can check the [[{{{name}}}_GPS#Map|Map]] page in order to see if the device has obtained a GPS fix. It is very important to attach the GPS antenna on the device and place it outside (not inside of a building). The device will not be likely to obtain a GPS fix otherwise.
The figure below is an example of the General page and the table below provides information on the fields contained in that page:
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Enabled | off | on; default: off | Turns the GPS service on or off. |
Galileo NMEA support* | off | on; default: off | Turns support for Galileo satellites on or off. |
Glonass NMEA support* | off | on; default: off | Turns support for Glonass satellites on or off. |
BeiDou NMEA support* | off | on; default: off | Turns support for BeiDou satellites on or off. |
*Changing these options requires a modem reboot. Therefore, if you make changes to these options and save them, the device will lose cellular connectivity for about 30 seconds.
NMEA
The NMEA page is used to configure settings related to NMEA sentence collecting and forwarding.

GPS Geofencing
A geofence is a virtually defined boundary for a real-world geographic area. The GPS Geofencing page provides you with the possibility to set this custom area and apply rules that will inform you when the device leaves or enters the geofence.
To create a new geofence area, enter a custom name for it and click the 'Add' button. A new geofence area configuration with the given name should appear in the "Geofencing" list. Click the button that looks like a pencil next to it to begin editing.
The figure below is an example of GPS Geofencing configuration and the table below provides information related to that configuration:
Field | Value | Description |
---|---|---|
Enable | off | on; default: off | Turns the Geofence rule on or off. |
Longitude (X) | degrees [-180.000000..180.000000]; default: 0.000000 | East-west position of a point on the Earth's surface. Combining this and the Latitude information will produce a point on the world map that will serve as the center of the geofence area. |
Latitude (Y) | degrees [-90.000000..90.000000]; default: 0.000000 | North-south position of a point on the Earth's surface. Combining this and the Longitude information will produce a point on the world map that will serve as the center of the geofence area. |
Radius | integer [1..999999]; default: 200 | Radius (in meters) of the geofence area. |
Generate event on | Exit | Enter | Enter/exit; default: Exit | Specifies whether the rule should be triggered when the device enters the geofence area, leaves it or on both events. |
Get current coordinates | - (interactive button) | Obtains the device's current coordinates and places them in the Longitude and Latitude fields. |
