report.ignoreOdometer ==> Meaning

Peter Flower 6 years ago

What's the functionality of the key report.ignoreOdometer into default.xml ??
In my tracker I have a record for the odometer calculation, which is done by the tracker, which I think is a little bit more precise than Traccar.

  • What's the default value of this key?
  • What happen if I put TRUE this key in the conf?
  • Is it related to the Total Distance?

Thanks in advance.
Best Regards

What's the default value of this key?

Default values for boolean parameters are always false.

What happen if I put TRUE this key in the conf?
Is it related to the Total Distance?

It would ignore odometer reported by device and use total distance instead.

Great! only to re-confirm, in my case, I send the key Position.KEY_ODOMETER, according you told me, the best thing is this, because the calculate of the distance is done by the tracker. The reports, maintenance module will use the new value KEY_ODOMETER and not TOTAL DISTANCE, which is calculated by Traccar, anyway in some test that I did, the difference is too small.

ODOMETER: 100 Km
TOTAL DISTANCE: 98Km

Well, I send position every 20 seconds, this helps a lot of for the calculation.
In addition, if I have the ODOMETER data in the State Window, the TOTAL DISTANCE don't have much sense, no? Could I remove that row?

Thanks in advance Anton.
Best Regards.

Yes, you can hide it.
