6.9 Location
Two types of node location information can be stored:
• Latitude/longitude/altitude
• Postal address or description a node’s location
The GPS location of the node can be stored in the following fields in the ‘sys’ interface:
• sys.location.gps.altitude
• sys.location.gps.latitude
• sys.location.gps.longitude
Note that these values are not automatically updated and must be entered after a node has
been installed. Altitude is in meters. Latitude ranges from -90 to 90 (with negative being south,
positive being north). Longitude ranges from -180 to 180 (with negative being west, positive
being east).
For example, you can set the latitude value as follows.
> use sys
sys> set location.gps.latitude=”34.01”
A description of the node’s location can be stored in the ‘location.postal’ field in the ‘sys’
interface. For example, you can set the location value as shown below.
> use sys
sys> set location.postal=”Light post near 123 Main St., Anytown, CA”
The location information can be set via the web interface using the “Location” tab on the
“System Parameters” page.
