GPS Configuration
Rev 1 Oct.13 189
Report Interval
Distance (meters)
GPS Report Distance Interval in meters
The distance (in meters) that the vehicle (or device) travels between sending GPS reports
Options are:
• 100– 65535
• 0 = Disables sending GPS reports based on a distance interval (default)
With this option disabled, you can still receive reports based on time passed or the
vehicle being stationary for a configured time. (See Report Interval Time (secs) on
page 188 and Stationary Vehicle Timer (mins) on page 189.)
You can also use the AT Command, *PPDISTM, to set this value. For more information,
see page 355.
Note: An an additional AT Command, *PPDIST, allows you to configure the GPS report
distance interval in 100 meter units. This option is only available through AT Commands.
For more information, see page 354.
Note: If the Report Interval Time and Report Interval Distance fields are both set, a GPS
report is sent when the first of the two intervals is reached. For example, if the time interval
is reached before the vehicle (or device) has travelled the specified distance, a GPS report
is sent based on the time interval. Conversely, if the vehicle (or device) travels the
specified distance before the time interval has passed, a GPS report is sent based on the
distance interval.
Stationary Vehicle
Timer (mins)
You can use this field if you want to receive less frequent reports when the vehicle is
stationary. A GPS report is sent every x minutes the vehicle (or device) is stationary, where
x is the value configured in this field. When the vehicle is stationary, this value overrides the
value configured in the Report Interval Time field.
Options are:
• 1–255
• 0 = Disables GPS reporting based on a vehicle being stationary (default)
You can also use an AT Command to set this value. For more information, see *PPTSV on
page 359.
Maximum Speed
Event Report (kph)
A GPS report is sent if the speed (in kilometers per hour) configured in this field is
exceeded, and again when the speed goes back down below the configured value.
• 0 = Disable (default)
• 1–255
Note: If you are using one of the RAP GPS report types (see GPS Report Type on
page 191) the GPS report triggered by this feature includes:
• A marker to indicate that it was triggered by the configured speed being exceeded and
when the speed is goes back down below the configured value.
• The standard GPS information for the configured report type
For more information, refer to the RAP Protocol Guide.
If you are not using a RAP GPS report, a standard report is sent.
