GPS Configure - Report After a Specific Distance Interval and a Default Time - GPS-Configure-Report-after-a-specific-distance-interval-and-a-default-time/GPS-Configure-Report-After-a-Specific-Distance-Interval-and-a-Default-Time

• Configure GPS to update after a specific distance has been reached. 
• Configure GPS to update after a specified time additional to distance traveled.

• Mobile environment where vehicle location, tracking, or dispatch is required. 
• Ideal for reducing volume of sentences received, extending need to purge database frequency. 
• NCOS  7.0.10 or newer.

• Configure a send to server GPS statement as illustrated in How to Configure GPS Send to Server.
• On page 3 The default settings are shown in the following image.
• Note that a value of 0 disables the field. 
• 

• The following image is to illustrate and explain how the settings work in conjunction. 

• 

• Default Time Interval (seconds) - This is the default time that the device will report the location to server specified on page 1 of the configuration. 
• Stationary Time Interval (seconds) - This is the value to be reported if the vehicle has been determined to be stationary.
• Stationary Event Threshold (seconds) - The amount of time it will take to move the distance stated in the next field. 
• Stationary Distance Threshold (meters) - The amount of distance to be covered in the time allotted in the field above.
• Distance Interval (meters) - The amount of distance to be covered before GPS data will be reported.

• Setting a value of "100" in Distance Interval (meters) will cause the device to send GPS coordinates every 100 meters.
• Setting the Distance Interval to different values will result in the reporting of that value in meters. 
• Setting the Distance Interval to "0" will disable it.
• Setting the Default Time interval to "3600" will send location once every hour in addition to Distance Interval settings. 

• This use case would allow vehicles to report every hour when stationary if the Cradlepoint is powered on as well as report every 100 yards when moving. Optimal for shore power vehicles that need to be tracked at a times but a reduced volume of data is preferred.
