filter.distance question

Rosco Cooper 8 years ago

I use

<entry key='filter.distance'>50</entry>
<entry key='filter.enable'>true</entry>

in the configuration file to filter out spurrious movements when I'm parked and the tracker is on. It works fine, but the device's status remains online.

I assumed those two configuration lines filtered out tracker packets at reception level, so I expected the web interface to report status unknown or offline when I don't move. But obviously it doesn't. Should I assume all the positions are in fact logged, but only movements over 50 meters are shown in the web interface?

Status is updated before any filtering. If positions are filtered they won't be logged in the database.

By the way, it seems like you are using wrong single-quote in the first line. I'm not sure if it's actually a valid XML.

Ok I see.

Re the single quote: I posted the question from my cellphone and copied the lines by hand. I must've copied 'em wrong. I'll correct the post in case Google indexes it and someone copy-pastes them, so you don't get another "it doesn't work" question due to this :)
