Hi,
I just received a GL-XE3000 cellular router, which seem to work as expected. My question : As many noticed in this forum, one of the 5G antennas is marked DIV/GNSS, which would suggest that it also picks up Satellite information on position (lat/long) How can we access this information or is the operating system Windows/linux picking it up automatically. I need this GNSS data for opensource navigation software (openCPN), alternatively I need to get a separate GNSS antenna.
I can not find any information on this feature in the documentation
Regards,
Instructions for enabling the GPS and installing gpsd (a deamon which creates a socket which other devices on the network can query) can be found in this post: [howto] GL-X3000 GPS configuration guide
There is a lot of app support for gpsd. But, if you want to write your own, have a look here for information on querying the socket: GPSD Client HOWTO.
My needs were much simpler (my X3000 is in my trailer and I wanted to track its location as I travel. I query/save GPS coordinantes every two hours, create a .gpx file every 12 hours and upload it to my VPS which already has a mapping interface and database), so I only enabled the GPS and directly query /dev/mhi_LOOPBACK directly. More information on the NMEA sentances in /dev/mhi_LOOPBACK can be found here: GPS Sentences | NMEA Sentences | GPGGA GPGLL GPVTG GPRMC.
