Using GPS
Read this chapter if you wish to use the GPS features of your modem. Your modem
supports both standalone GPS and Assisted-GPS. It can provide either simple
positioning data including longitude, latitude, and altitude, or it can provide more detailed
NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) data. This chapter explains how to set
the modem up to use its GPS features.
The modem supports several different GPS options. Before discussing GPS commands
we will discuss the different GPS modes so you can decide which mode is best for your
application.
GPS vs Assisted GPS Mode
Traditional GPS or standalone GPS relies solely on GPS satellites to determine its
position.
Assisted GPS (A-GPS)
uses both the cellular network and the GPS satellites
to determine its location. A-GPS can significantly reduce the time it takes to lock onto
the satellites to figure out your position. This is known as
time to first fix
(TTFF).
When
satellite interference is a problem, such as in urban areas where tall buildings can
obstruct and redirect signals, or where poor weather conditions prevent the signal from
reaching the modem, A-GPS is more reliable than standalone GPS. The downside of
A-GPS is it requires a data connection to the cell network and can incur data charges.
Standalone GPS relies solely on the GPS satellites, so no data costs are incurred and
the modem does not even need to have a SIM card installed.
Model 4575/4576 supports A-GPS through
Mobile Station Based (MSB)
positioning
using the user plane protocol. In this mode, the modem receives current information
about the orbital data of the GPS satellites quickly over IP from the network. It then uses
this data to lock onto the GPS satellite to determine the modem’s location.
Selection of GPS or A-GPS is done using the
AT^WPDOM
command. Setting
AT^WPDOM=0
sets the modem for standalone GPS mode. To use the modem in
A-GPS mode set
AT^WPDOM=5
. If you are using A-GPS, you have the option to set
