GPS Signal TargetId

@realdashdev is there any possibility of adding an on/off targetId to show confirmation of GPS signal; in the interim I am using GPS Heading > 0, but when heading is 0 it will move to off state. perhaps default GPS Heading of -1 when no signal present?

The ‘Device Inputs->GPS Enabled’ does not work for you?

It works all the time, including in the underground car park :slight_smile:

Ok, I will check this.

Instead of introducing new input, I will rename ‘GPS Enabled’ to ‘GPS Connected’ and make it active only when there is location info coming in from the GPS.

Thanks @realdashdev this would have greater utility

@realdashdev I see the targetID has been changed in the online manual web area, but the targetId in the recent RealDash update still says GPS Enabled, assume this missed the update?

Hi @realdashdev just wondering if the coding was changed?

Yes, the input was renamed to ‘GPS Connected’ and is set to 1 when GPS updates are received.

@realdashdev no GPS Connected in the Device Inputs list\

Strange as this is what it looks like on mine:

I am using the most recent revision you issued just before you went on vacation

@realdashdev I do most of my development work using LDPlayer Android emulator and it seems GPS Enabled remains on this device, whereas the Samsung device I actually use has GPS Connected instead; both the emulator and the device have the revision issued today

The ID of that input has not been changed, so I would not worry about the input name if it is working as expected.

@realdashdev it’s working fine on the actual device, I think I will just do a fresh install on my emulator for good order, assuming this will correct the variance in the input name
