Mikrotik with GPS support

RouterOS General
1

Hi, what routeros version and Mikrotik support come with the /system gps command? I am using RB912UAG-2HPnD-OUT and version 6.20 and routerboard 3.17 but I could not find the /system gps.

I am also using Huawei ME909u-521 Mini-PCIe LTE module.

I would like the Mikrotik + Huawei LTE to send the GPS NMEA to my traccar server. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thanks.

please upgrade the RouterOS to v6.25 and then you need to install the GPS package as well and then you need to add a gps-init command AT^WPDGP that will enable GPS positioning on the usb port.

Thanks Uldis. So it is only available from 6.25 onwards.

Hi Uldis, how and where do I add the gps-init=AT^WPDGP command?

[admin@MikroTik] /system gps> set init-string=AT^WPDGP
[admin@MikroTik] /system gps> pr
          enabled: no
             port: usb2
          channel: 0
      init-string: AT^WPDGP
  set-system-time: yes

What is this init-string thingy? It doesn’t appear to be at all documented on the manual page. Not only it’s existence is shown, let alone format.

Thanks.

Hi Uldis,

I would like to send the GPS data captured to traccar gps server. How do I make use of the GPS package and send the following data to the server?

Login (sent once TCP connection is establshed):
$PGID,123456789012345*0F\r\n (where 123456789012345 - IMEI or other unique id)

Simple location report format is just a standard NMEA GPRMC sentence:

$GPRMC,225446,A,4916.45,N,12311.12,W,000.5,054.7,191194,020.3,E*68\r\n
225446 - Time of fix 22:54:46 UTC
A - Navigation receiver warning A = OK, V = warning
4916.45,N - Latitude 49 deg. 16.45 min North
12311.12,W - Longitude 123 deg. 11.12 min West
000.5 - Speed over ground, Knots
054.7 - Course Made Good, True
191194 - Date of fix 19 November 1994
020.3,E - Magnetic variation 20.3 deg East
*68 - Checksum

Thanks.

Does anybody know how to send an Identity or IMEI and $GPRMC data to a GPS tracking server in routeros?

Hi,
Did you manage to find out?
I am new to this but would like to do the same. Any directions?

Rudy, please do not do this crossposting. I already gave you a step-by-step manual, if you read it, you will have a working solution.

Well, sometimes it takes crossposting to get any reply from ‘a’ member of the forum.. members don’t get notifications on all new posts especial if they never wrote in a tread…

That 's my luck today, to have you reading all my posts… :smiley: You’ll see them all coming off course… …

normis, could you please send me the step by step manual for sending gprmc data to a tracker server. I do not find the solution. Thanks!
