<![CDATA[Real Time monitoring location?]]>I am trying to used the Fixed Position plugin instead of a GPS source while at the slip. I mistakenly put in the lat/Lon with a + longitude instead of -, and it put me in Asia. So I fixed that and now the realtime position is putting me in California, but inland.

I tried to fix the longitude again, but now the new longitude isn't getting picked up by the realtime monitor.

Is there something I can do to force the realtime monitor to snap to the location that I'm currently sending? I tried restarting the plugin and restarting signalk but that didn't help.

Your use-case is pretty special. I wrote a simple plugin for you to use that can emit static positions every 30 seconds, you can use it to address your use-case: https://github.com/itemir/signalk-fixed-position, hope it helps!

I can still see the use case for monitoring the boat at the slip, and thus not requiring a fresh GPS position. Maybe that could be a user-configurable setting in sail logger?

  • Saillogger is indeed not receiving the position information, you can see that in the debug logs: signalk-saillogger No position data, not sending monitoring information
  • Order of "latitude" and "longitude" keys should not matter, as long as the key names and values are correct. Saillogger picks the right value based on the key.
  • I suspect this is about the frequency of the position information that Fixed Position plugin sends.
  • Sailogger monitoring requires the position data to be fresh (not older than 2 minutes), I suspect Fixed Position doesn't publish position information frequently enough.
  • Can you check the how often that position data is refreshed through Data Browser?
  • I would also keep that timeout configuration to less than 2 minutes.

One thing I noticed is that the lat/Lon fields are in a different order between the Axiom and the Fixed Position plugin. I wonder if the parser in the SignalK client knows how to deal with that?

This probably means it is not seeing the position.
