Position and GPS
The GPS position node tells other nodes where the station is. One node can feed many.
Pick a source
| Tab | Source |
|---|---|
| Receiver | A serial NMEA GPS on the server. Set the baud rate. |
| Network | gpsd, default 127.0.0.1:2947 |
| Fixed | Latitude and longitude you type in |
| This device | The location of the browser or desktop app showing the interface |
Serial and gpsd sources must be reachable from the server, and reconnect on their own. This device needs HTTPS or localhost. Forget source picks a different one.
The node shows the fix and your Maidenhead locator. A lost fix is reported, and old coordinates stop being used.
