Hi, My GPS antenna is the one Openenergymonitor sells - Has "Frequency 1575.42MHz" and "Voltage 2.7-5V" on it from which I assume that it is active. I turned on gsm-nmea logging - and put that in my config. I examined logging closely. Seems like I was at latitude = -34.0584, longitude = 18.4477 at 11:01:24 local. Going 89.2km/h on the local M3 freeway. Sounds sensible. We send update to ABRP: 2021-01-12 11:01:24 SAST I (420418) script: [sendlivedata2abrp.js:287:GetUrlABRP] http://api.iternio.com/1/tlm/send?api_key=xxx&token=yyyy&tlm={ "utc":1610442084,"soc":97,"soh":97,"speed":89.2,"car_model":"bmw:i3:19:38:other","lat":"-34.0584","lon":"18.4477","elevation":"9","ext_temp":24.5,"is_charging":0,"batt_temp":21.37,"voltage":394,"current":25.23,"power":"9.9"} (But no sendRequestDone/Failed for quite a while) Just after that the OVMS lost its connection to my v2 server: 2021-01-12 11:01:25 SAST I (421118) ovms-server-v2: Connection is ovms.xxxx:6870 CAA5060 2021-01-12 11:01:25 SAST I (421118) ovms-server-v2: Status: Connecting...

So the drop outs are perhaps expected but it does seem like there is some issue with recovering the GPS connection when the data connection comes back? (Why does the GPS drop when the cell connection drops?) Steve On Tue, 12 Jan 2021 at 12:05, Steve Davies <steve@telviva.co.za> wrote:
Hi,
I'm finding the OVMS GPS really unreliable. (...)
