Today, we had our Traccar server down for some hours. When it came back up, one device was constantly updating its position. It went from New York to Washington in a matter of minutes. We realized that was probably because the server was showing every single position sent by the device when the server was down. While this makes sense, it can mislead a user who enters the web console and sees the device not at its latest position.
Is there a way to only use the latest position in such a case, without having the server process every old one? Perhaps there's a configuration property I'm overlooking.
If the explanation doesn't click, I'll be more than happy to clarify.
Traccar will only show the latest position, so if the device moved like that, it means that the device has uploaded the data in the chronological order.
So it's most likely something to configure on the device side. Sounds good, thanks.
