Description of the issue: The client complains that the vehicle is displayed in incorrect location. The last known location (several last records show that the vehicle was located near or inside the underground/multilevel parking.

Possible causes of the issue:

  • The vehicle left the underground parking but could not acquire GPS fix before Stationary Navigation filtering is switched ON.

Troubleshooting steps:

2. Find the object by the plate number (object name) in TT2:

3. Navigate to "Analyze by coordinates":

4. Turn on the following parameters to be visible in the graph:

  • Digital input 4

  • GSM signal strength

  • Power supply voltage

  • Satellites

6. Check satellites signal. Satellites count and GNSS status shall be checked by sending SMS command:

cspsm coords

7. In case the device responds with more than 4 satellites and GNSS state 3:

2022-02-14 17:36, lat. 54.6997683, long. 25.2558200, alt. 127.3, sat. 22, dir. 325.90, hdop 70, state 3

It means the device has GPS fix at the moment- device reset will help (SMS command "cspsm reset"). After reset, send SMS command "cspsm coords" (makes process a bit faster) and the location will update in 1-2 minutes.

Note: In case you receive a different answer (sat. 0), navigate to article here.

8. Check whether the device configuration has Navigation filtering improvements:

The objects may have one of these DIFF files uploaded on top of the BASE configuration:

root_SM5_TBL600_GNSSFiltering_Manual_Delay600s_20kmh_HighFilter_diff_06.25.19.fz5d
root_SM5_GPSNavigationFiltering_Delay120s_Speed25_High_diff.fz5d

9. In case the device has only the BASE configuration, you can upload DIFF file with relevant fixes:

root_SM5_TBL600_GNSSFiltering_Manual_Delay600s_20kmh_HighFilter_diff_06.25.19.fz5d

This file will enable two settings:

  • Temporary blacklist, fixing some DEVICE_OFFLINE issues;

  • Manual stationary navigation filtering, which resolves majority of "frozen location" cases.
