Can I set the input units of a device tracker? I suspect mine is sending as knots
What protocol are you using?
Its the kingneed one, If I'm reading my config right, I'm using
<entry key='tk103.port'>5002</entry>
As all the others are commented out.

Here's an entry....I'm trying to figure out where teh speed if (if it's not calculated from the gps co-ords). This is possibly ~50km/h driving
Is this the speed? 9.580
And some more.

These, I figured out are motorway (not surface streets), so should be ~100km/h - so by that reckoning this does look like knots ?
If your device doesn't report speed in knots, you need to configure tk103.speed.
I thought i saw a forum post like that....can you give me a pointer to that config option. In that in the traccar.xml and have you got an example for it?
so:
<entry key='tk103.speed'>knots</entry>
at a guess?
I found it in another thread.
<entry key='tk103.speed'>mph</entry>
I seem to be getting low speeds along motorway driving, where I'm driving at 100km/h it seems to be reporting about 51-54km/h.
So if I convert knots to km, I see that 53 is 100km/h.
Does that mean my unit IS reporting in knots rather than km/h? Can I set this for the tracker? As I 've seen that traccar converts to knots in the db and then back out to the display unit.
