New Mictrack protocol - generic issue with 0.0° / 0.0°

Cris5 years ago

There is an issue (which is basically generic, appears here with a new Mictrack tracker): when a tracker transmits no GPS fix, i.e. sending a movement alarm, it is represented as position 0.0° / 0.0° (or perhaps that is what the tracker is transmitting).
This interrupts and distorts the visual tracking history and is somewhat annoying.
Is there a way to filter that out on the client or server side?
Thank you for your attention Anton.

You can filter zero coordinates.

Ah yes, time to have a closer look at
www.traccar.org/configuration-file/
Thank you!

hmm I've added to traccar.xml :
<entry key='filter.zero'>true</entry>
<entry key='filter.duplicate'>true</entry>

Then restarted with :
service traccar restart

However, it does not change anything - what did I overlook?
Grateful for any hints.

  1. You have to enable filtering.
  2. It won't affect already stored data.
