Currently Traccar doesn't support changing units for altitude, but by default it expects and shows meters. I would recommend to submit a feature request on GitHub.
Thanks, I will take a look..
And thanks for a great program.
hi could you please detail how you connected the lora device to traccar server? thanks
Hi,
For my case, I set up a LoraWan concentrator (as opposed to basic LoRa) (https://sandboxelectronics.com/?p=2669) ...
and software (https://github.com/gotthardp/lorawan-server) on a raspberry pi 3b ...
that sends a custom json string masquerading as an owntracks device (http://owntracks.org/booklet/tech/json/) to the traccar server.
As long as the properly formatted info is sent to the Traccar server it will be processed. I found Owntracks to be the easiest template to work with in Traccar.
Hello,
I currently have Traccar server running on Windows 7. I have succeeded in adding a LoRa GPS tracker device by impersonating a OwnTracks device with a custom json string. Since the GPS measurements are metric, I changed the distance unit and speed unit to miles and mph in server attributes. I could not find a setting to change altitude meters to feet. For that device I sent the altitude in feet in the json string so it is correct for my system.
I added a Traccar android client and it works well, except the altitude is in meters. Can anyone show me a way to get the altitude in feet from the Traccar server or client?
Thanks in advance! I am enjoying getting this great program configured and especially happy to have an alternative to the "cloud" in maintaining our privacy!
