Data Sending Parameters

FIELD NAME	VALUE	DESCRIPTION
Min period	integer [1..999999]; Default: 5	Period (in seconds) for data collection
Min distance	integer [1..999999]; Default: 200	Distance difference (in meters) between last registered and current coordinates to collect data (even if Min period has not passed yet)
Min angle	integer [1..999999]; Default: 30	Minimal angle difference between last registered and current coordinates to collect data (even if Min period has not passed yet)
Min saved records	integer [1..32]; Default: 20	Minimal amount of coordinates registered to send them to server immediately (even if Send period has not passed yet)
Send period	integer [1..999999]; Default: 60	Period for sending collected data to server

The GPS configuration section allows to save several different configurations for GPS data collection. Active configuration is automaticaly selected when configured conditions are met.

GPS Configuration
