Data to Storage
Besides transmitting location data to a remote server, you can also store location data on internal storage (e.g. microSD card)
or external storage (e.g. USB drive). The data format can be NMEA 0183 raw data or GPX file format. The location data will be
saved to a new file if the original file size is bigger than the pre-defined file size. The “Download log file” button allows you to
browse all saved log files and download to your personal devices.
Scenario of location tracking for fleet management
A fleet owner would like to see the locations of his trucks in real time. He also likes to know where his trucks have been with
time information. In his operation office, there is a server (IP: 100.100.100.1) which can interpret NMEA RMC data format
and show the truck’s location and track on map. This server is listening on TCP port 888 to receive NMEA RMC packet from
trucks. The IMEI number will be added before NMEA RMC data to identify each truck. Below is the configuration of each
truck.
