Recently, I manufactured a bunch of devices in my laboratory in Berkeley California. While they were in my lab, they all got GPS lock, and so Berkeley was listed as the best location. Then I shut them down and shipped them to my customer in Boulder, Colorado. My customer uses them indoors and they cannot get a GPS lock where they are positioned. So, still, all of them list their best location as the latest GPS position in Berkeley, California, even though they’re calling through cell towers thousands of miles away. I think that you should update the best location definition to be the location of the cell tower if the most recent cell tower is some threshold distance away from the most recent GPS lock.
Hi @daterdots,
This feature does actually exist, but there are a couple of reasons as to why it may not have kicked in for your scenario:
- GPS mode must be periodic (this won’t fire if Notecard’s GPS is in continuous mode).
- There is a “stale reading” window of about 3 days per location source, so your GPS location reading must be older than this stale window AND be more than 25 km from the current tower fix.
Hope that helps!
