Revision as of 17:16, 22 February 2018
Applies to RouterOS: v3, v4, v5, v6 +
Summary
Package requirement: gps
Sub-menu: /system gps
Standards: GPS, NMEA 0183, Simple Text Output Protocol
Global Positioning System (GPS) is used for determining precise location of a GPS receiver.
Configuration Properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| enabled (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether GPS is enabled |
| port (string; Default: ) | Name of the USB/Serial port where GPS receiver is connected |
| channel (integer [0..4294967295]; Default: 0) | Port channel used by device |
| init-channel (integer [0..4294967295]; Default: ) | Channel for init-string execution |
| init-string (string; Default: ) | AT init string for GPS initialization |
| set-system-time (yes | no; Default: no) | Whether to set router's date and time to one received from GPS. |
Monitoring Status
Command: /system gps monitor
This command is used for monitoring the data received from a GPS receiver
Parameters:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| date-and-time (date) | Date and time received from GPS |
| latitude (none | string) | Latitude in DM (Degrees Minute decimal) format |
| longitude (none | string) | Longitude in DM (Degrees Minute decimal) format |
| speed (none | string) | Current moving speed of the GPS unit |
| bearing (none | string) | The compass direction toward which a GPS is moving |
| valid (yes | no) | |
| satellites (integer) | Number of satellites seen by the device. |
Note: The time is not stratum 1 as RouterBOARD devices do not have PPS implemented
Basic examples
Adjust port settings specific for your device
[admin@MikroTik] /port> set 0 baud-rate=4800 parity=odd [admin@MikroTik] /port> print detail Flags: I - inactive 0 name="usb1" used-by="GPS" channels=1 baud-rate=4800 data-bits=8 parity=odd stop-bits=1 flow-control=none
Enable GPS
[admin@MikroTik] /system gps> set enable=yes port=usb1
[admin@MikroTik] /system gps> print
enabled: yes
port: usb1
channel: 0
init-channel: 0
init-string:
set-system-time: no
Monitor status
[admin@MikroTik] /system gps> monitor
date-and-time: jul/02/2015 14:36:08
latitude: N 56 57' 32.262''
longitude: E 24 9' 7.262''
altitude: 36.700001m
speed: 0.000000 km/h
destination-bearing: none
true-bearing: 0.000000 deg. True
magnetic-bearing: 0.000000 deg. Mag
valid: yes
satellites: 7
We have also created an in-depth article about live GPS tracking, using scripting and a web server: Manual:GPS-tracking.
Troubleshooting
Note that sometimes in order to make GPS module to be recognized under RouterOS you need to change the baud-rate setting in the '/port' menu.
On some modems with GPS support you need to send multiple init commands for the continuous GPS monitoring, for example, for Huawei cards you need to send "AT^WPDST=1,AT^WPDGP" init string to get continuous monitoring.
