Location computing with GPS data
Hello. I am an engineer in a Sigfox application partner company.
I have a question regarding 'computedLocation' source.
In the API document, 'Retrieve a list of messages' -> Response -> data -> computedLocation, there is a descripstion about 'location source' like below.
https://support.sigfox.com/apidocs#operation/getDeviceMessagesListForDevice
---
1 -> computed using the GPS data inside the payload
6 -> computed using WiFi location
---
When I put WiFi MAC addresses into the payload, the 'computedLocation' is returned as source - 6(WiFi location), it works fine.
Then, how I can get the 'computedLocatoin' with GPS data?
I tried to put lat and lng in 6 bytes like below,
lat : 0x02, 0x37, 0x06 (37.16....)
lng : 0x07, 0x92, 0x72 (127.93...)
but it didn't work.
Is there any specific format of payload for GPS location computing?
Needless to say, I can understand my payload content in the callback, but what I want to know is that how Sigfox cloud understands it is GPS payload and computes location with the data.
Thank you.
The format Sigfox uses is called ”Telecom Design”. See https://ask.sigfox.com/questions/5167/what-is-the-payload-format-of-the-geolocation.html for references on the format specification.
Many thanks for the quick reply.
I checked the format, thank you very much.
"GPS computed location" hasn't work yet on my trials, but at least I understand the appropriate format.
Thank you again.
