  • Update GPS position on map

    I've been running very successfully for quite some time now, probably almost 1 year without even touching anything.

    I have recently moved, just across town, but I can see on my map that the black dot is right on top of where I used to live.

    I've updated every setting I can think of and I've been through the FAQ's etc.

    I pull up my map by IP-OF-PI/dump1090/gmap.html and to the right it says DUMP1090 and v.1.15~dev

    There are so many guides there and things have moved so much it's hard to remember which guide I followed. (sorry)

    At this point I am pretty sure I need to SSH into the Pi and edit a config file but I am not sure which steps to follow. I can't find anything in the guides that seem to include setting a position.

    I did use

    fr24feed --signup

    to complete all the fields and enter new GPS coordinates but my position on the dump1090 map is still showing at my original location.

    Where can I change this?

    Thanks in advance.

      Does not matter which guide you used. I can tell you correct procedure for showing your current location on map, provided I know your settings.

      Please post output of following command:
      (For privacy reasons, in your post replace value of fr24key by xxxxx)

      Code:
      cat /etc/fr24feed.ini

        This one did it!

        Thanks so much.

        I was able to go into Putty and make the changes using

        For advance users: Alternatively, you can change the settings by editing the configuration file shown below:

        Code:
        sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-mutability #after making changes, save file (Ctrl+o) and exit (Ctrl+x)
        #Restart sudo systemctl restart dump1090-mutability

        My position is now being reported correctly.

        Thanks!

          Glad to know you could solve it.

          Simple solution for others:

          Open following file

          sudo nano /etc/fr24feed.ini

          If this file has receiver="dvbt", add this line:

          procargs="--gain -10 --net --lat xx.xxxx --lon yy.yyyy"
          Save file and restart fr24feed.

          If this file has recever="avr-tcp" or receiver="beast-tcp", open following file:

          sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-mutability

          Scroll down till you see following
          LAT=""
          LON=""

          Add latitude & longitude values within "". Save file and restsrt fr24feed. Go to map and reload browser by pressing Ctrl and F5 keys togather.

            Thanks for your reply as well.

            When I executed:

            "cat /etc/fr24feed.ini"

            The output was:

            receiver="avr-tcp"
            fr24key="xxxxxxxx"
            host="127.0.0.1:30002"
            bs="no"
            raw="no"
            logmode="0"
            logpath="/var/log/fr24feed"
            mlat="yes"
            mlat-without-gps="yes"

            Thanks so much!
