gps

Description

Provides latitude, longitude, and elevation information of a vehicle. This also contains uncertainties on those measurements.

FielddatatypeDescription
utimestringBest estimate of when this message is from, host clock in UTC
utimeGlobaldoubleGlobal time of navigation solution generation
latdoublelatitude of a vehicle
londoublelongitude of a vehicle
elevationdoubleMeters above sea level
horizDopdoubleHorizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) is a measure of the quality of a GPS receiver's position fix in the horizontal (i.e., latitude and longitude) dimension. It is a mathematical factor that reflects the errors and uncertainties in the GPS signals received by the receiver, and it is used to estimate the accuracy of the receiver's horizontal position
timeDopdoubleGPS Time Dilution of Precision (TDoP) is a measure of the quality of a GPS receiver's clock synchronization with the GPS satellite network. It is a mathematical factor that reflects the errors and uncertainties in the GPS signals received by the receiver, and it is used to estimate the accuracy of the receiver's time synchronization

Topic/channel string

For Realtime API

Pass the comma seperated topic name as a query param

/.vehicle.{vehiclename}.GPS

For Batch API

To access the Batch API, you need to include the vehicle name and topic name as path parameters in the URL.
