Bad GPS location handling

Salman Bashir7 years ago

Hi,

I have been using traccar server 3.11 for a month and facing this problem quite often. Device sometimes report a far away location as valid and causes the odometer to be out of synch by too much distance. Please help me how can I avoid this, what params do you suggest me to tweak in config file. Please see below image as an example.

You can filter those locations. It has been discussed several times before.

Salman consider the use of the filter parameters in the configuration file as detailed here https://www.traccar.org/configuration-file/

Here is what I have configured on my server - note that your really asking the server to manage the bad GPS data coming from the devices.

<entry key='filter.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='filter.zero'>true</entry>
<entry key='filter.duplicate'>true</entry>
<entry key='filter.maxSpeed'>2500</entry>
<entry key='filter.future'>86400</entry>

Thank you visiondrive. it actually helped. The only exception is when I used <entry key='filter.duplicate'>true</entry>, it started filtering events too (specially ACC On) so I excluded this.
