ok thanks for the great explanation. I took your time with "currently" useless gps information. maybe in future, some developer decides to implement a method to send realtime gps information. I saw the script way. In fact, I can of course write my own scirpt to post gps data to aprs server...

so, what I understand is: 1. mobile gps is not supported but still there. 2. mobile gps might be providing only hotspot location once when it is UP. 3. mobile gps is not providing real time location 4. pi-star developer planned to use gpsd , but did not 5. pi-star developer might be moving to gpsd ,...

ok. thanks. this works. I can actually see GPS data on /dev/ttyUSB0 when I sym link it to rfcomm0 and now I can see the port in mobile GPS configuration of Pi-Star UI. How can I verify that this location is used ? Actually where do we see the location ? And when does pi-star update location ? each t...

ok. I got my device bound on /dev/rfcomm0 and can get GPS data from that port as seen below: root@pi-star(ro):~# cat /dev/rfcomm0 $GPRMC,201029,A,4057.98242,N,02905.71316,E,000.0,,220222,005.9,E,A*3C $GPGGA,201029,4057.98242,N,02905.71316,E,1,03,,82.708,M,,M,,*43 $GNGSA,A,1,8,16,18,,,,,,,,,,,,*36 $G...

it is a separate bluetooth device but it works with other apps on RPI. so it is not a matter of reading info from the device. actually there is also a github project here, using it: https://github.com/decibyte/raspberry-pi-gps-tracker the information I am looking in this thread is "how can I co...

thanks for your response.
I had thought that there is a dynamic GPS update mechanism when I saw the mobile gps configuration.
so it is useless ?

I'd appreciate a response...

I wonder if there is any option to run high TX power hotspot in duplex mode.
Is there a RPI hat card that supports TX power like 1W or above ?

I am a new Pi-Star user. I have my hotspot up and running. But I did not understand how people provide dynamic location data (APRS ?) My radio device is a Radioddity GD77 and it does not have GPS. So what are my options to provide dynamic GPS data ? I have a bluetooth GPS dongle which I successfully...
