Hi folks,
Probably a historical reason for this; if not, not a big deal I suppose...
I just got an alert that my car was being transported, possibly due to
theft/flatbed. Checked the garage, and the car was sleeping peacefully,
as expected. A quick check of the status shows that the GPS has lost
lock (don't know why), and presume that's the reason for the alert.
Checked the code (components/ovms_location)... Is there a reason that
the theft alert is not qualified by m_gpslock? I suppose one could
thwart the theft alert by covering the car in tin foil first, but it
seems like a long shot.
Alternatively, is it worth alerting on the loss (and/or restoration) of
GPS lock? I'm guessing that might be more annoying than it's worth.
Greg
