Forward GPS to LoRaWAN

RouterOS General
1

Hey there,

i´ve just got a LtAP LTE with a Mikrotik LoRa Card for europe and the Mikrotik antenna kit.

LoRa is working very well, but i was wondering if its possible to forward the gps location of the LtAP via LoRa.

No, it is not possible at the moment.

ok, thats fine.

is it planned?

We are considering options, how to achieve it, as this is a demanded feature.

At least you should add feature known as “FAKE_GPS”

    if (gps_fake_enable || (gps_enabled == true && gps_ref_valid == true)) {
	location.has_latitude = 1;
	location.latitude = gps_fake_enable ? reference_coord.lat : meas_gps_coord.lat;
	location.has_longitude = 1;
	location.longitude = gps_fake_enable ? reference_coord.lon : meas_gps_coord.lon;
	location.has_altitude = 1;
	location.altitude = gps_fake_enable ? reference_coord.alt : meas_gps_coord.alt;

	status.gps = &location;
    }

Any updatades on this? I just bought two of these kits and was wondering why the LoraWAN server did not update the gateway position. I’m trying out putting the gateway on big lorries and need this functionality.

I hope I can do some kind of workaround using this script… https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:GPS-tracking
