Re: Problems trying configure my location for iGate..

 

Morning Bob,

Thanks for this, I'd looked at the manual but the index only went to p107 (I was looking at it? on GITHUB) so hadnt seent that page...

I did manage to get it working with a bit of conversion I'm now shoring within 1/2 mile of home...

Thanks for the reply.

Hi Bob

It's on P111 of the Direwolf User Guide and will accept decimal notation as well as your example's. Your example though is in the degree/minute.mmm format but 94 (minutes) exceeds the max of 60. There is also no "N" specifier.

I don't think any via argument is needed for an igate beacon either. The manual also specifies sendto=IG.

I think the line might be;

PBEACON sendto=IG every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" lat=55.945526 long=-3.392573
or
PBEACON sendto=IG every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" lat=55^56.73156N long=3^23.55438E

Morning Nigel,
Thanks for the reply.... but I'm still not gellint the requied location....
I changed the PBeacon statement to:

PBEACON sendto=igate every=30 overlay=R symbol="igate" lat=55^94 long=3^39E via=WIDE1-1,WIDE2-1

And this puts me just north of New York in the good old US of A.....

What am I doing wrong as I cant find any documentation explaining how to structure the locations string????

Thanks again
