RouterBOARD 912R-2nD-LTm - GPS

RouterOS General
1

Hello to everyone.
I just buy this router because i have read that has an internal GPS antenna.
My plan is to sending an email every 1 hour to my self (a script needed as far as i understand) with my vehicle cordinates in order to check it on google maps.
I cannot activate the GPS… Seems like need a serial NMEA signal to receive the coordinates. Is that true?
I see very clearly that the device has a built in GPS !
Anybody can help me ? I am on the latest version and GPS package is already installed.
When i am opening terminal gives me :

and continuing until close the terminal

I follow this guide https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/GPS_text_file_converter_to_Google_Earth/Maps but after each restart the gps.txt and gps.kml dissapear. This happening because my GPS part dont working?

Also can anyone advise if i can use for the same purpose a mikrotik rb951g-2hnd with an external usb GPS receiver?

Thanks in advance.

I solve this issue with a mikrotik rb951g-2hnd and an external usb gps antenna .

Unfortunately nobody helps me here so I lost three days and finally I found the way .

It’s not like we wouldn’t want to help you, but GPS under RouterOS is not something commonly used. For the same reason, I can imagine that if there would be some bug, it’s possible that you could be the first one to encounter it. So if I was you, I’d try to ask MikroTik support about it (after re-reading whatever existing documentation there is and making sure I’m not just making some mistake).

Something simple , do you know if the model 912R-2nD-LTM has a gps or not ?
Because I bought it for the internal gps and it seems dead !
Thank you in advance

Sorry, I’m just giving you a hint, I can’t help you myself. I’ve never used GPS with RouterOS and I probably won’t anytime soon. I can only tell you that product page does say “integrated GPS support”.

The first post shows a Log, which gives you a hint of what is happening. The GPS data gets pushed into console. You must disable the serial port so that the GPS can be used. It is also mentioned in the manual, that you must set the GPS port to serial0 and it will turn off the console port;

  1. Turn off console in menu “/system console”
  2. Set the GPS to use serial0 as mentioned in the manual

To enable, set the port to serial0 (this disables the DB9 port on the unit).
