3. GPS Configuration

Generally speaking, it should not be necessary to configure the internal GPS receiver. However, there is a GPS receiver configuration page in the web GUI under network → GPS Configuration. Figure 1 shows a screenshot of the page. If you are using your own external GPS receiver connected over USB or UART, you can use this configuration page. Be sure to select the correct GPS device. After making any changes, click Save & Apply. It is also possible to configure the GPS remotely using any of the methods discussed in our Remote Management Guide [2]. As an example, the output of uci show gps is shown below.

$ uci show gps
gps.@gps[0]=gps
gps.@gps[0].tty='/dev/GPS'
gps.@gps[0].adjust_time='0'
gps.@gps[0].disabled='1'
gps.@gps[0].baudrate='9600'
gps.@gps[0].cs='8'
gps.@gps[0].cstopb='1'
gps.@gps[0].parenb='1'
