Hello,

I am using WP8548 and trying to get location data with GNSS control API’s le\_gnss\_GetLocation().  
But it always fails with -3(LE\_OUT\_OF\_RANGE).  
(Before executing le\_gnss\_GetLocation(), le\_gnss\_Start() is executed and no error is occured.)

I also tried it using the following target tool command and it could get correct location data.  
gnss start  
gnss get posInfo

Why can’t it get location data with le\_gnss\_GetLocation()?

Legato version : 18.10.2  
Firmware Version : SWI9X15Y\_07.13.07.00

Don’t forget to connect antenna to your module and try move on outside !

Hi Andy\_5,

I tried them with a GPS antenna and I did them at same place in both case of using API and using tool commands.

Thx

Hi kndu\_t,  
I used to use le\_pos\_Get2DLocation () API instead of le\_gnss\_GetLocation(), flow this link [Sample code for Navigation - Legato Docs](https://docs.legato.io/latest/c_posSampleCodeNavigation.html) to get location, it worked fine or you can install Developer studio and try with a example code, It called Texloc.

Hi Andy\_5,  
Is the program Texloc the same as textLoc on this link [https://github.com/legatoproject/legato-af/tree/master/apps/sample/textLoc](https://github.com/legatoproject/legato-af/tree/master/apps/sample/textLoc) ?  
If so, I made the program with reference to it.  
And I first used le\_pos\_Get2DLocation() API but it was failed, then I used le\_gnss\_GetLocation() API and it was failed too.

I’m sorry that information I wrote was insufficient.  
I put the code below.

```auto
#define GPS_TIMEOUT_SEC 120

static le_result_t GetCurrentLocation(
    int32_t *latitudePtr,
    int32_t *longitudePtr,
    int32_t *horizontalAccuracyPtr,
    uint32_t timeoutInSeconds
);

void gps_Receiver(void)
{
    le_result_t res;
    int32_t gps_latitude;
    int32_t gps_longitude;
    int32_t gps_horizontalAccuracy;

    res = GetCurrentLocation(&gps_latitude, &gps_longitude, &gps_horizontalAccuracy, GPS_TIMEOUT_SEC);

    if(res == LE_OK){
        LE_INFO("GPS_Loc:latitude -> %d, longitude -> %d", gps_latitude, gps_longitude); 
    }else{
        LE_INFO("GPS_Loc:unknown");
    }

}

static le_result_t GetCurrentLocation(
    int32_t *latitudePtr,
    int32_t *longitudePtr,
    int32_t *horizontalAccuracyPtr,
    uint32_t timeoutInSeconds )
{
    le_result_t result;
    le_gnss_State_t gnss_state_result;
    const time_t startTime = time(NULL);
    le_gnss_SampleRef_t gnss_sampleRef;
    uint32_t ttff;
    le_gnss_FixState_t gnss_fixState;

    gnss_state_result = le_gnss_GetState();
    if(LE_GNSS_STATE_ACTIVE == gnss_state_result){
         le_gnss_Stop();
    }
    

    result = le_gnss_Start();
    if(result != LE_OK){
        LE_ERROR("Can't activate the Positioning service : %d", result);
        return LE_UNAVAILABLE;
    }

    gnss_sampleRef = le_gnss_GetLastSampleRef();
    //gnss_sampleRef= NULL;

    LE_INFO("Checking 2D position");
    while(true){

        result = le_gnss_GetTtff(&ttff);
        LE_INFO("result = %d, TTFF = %d", result, ttff);
        result = le_gnss_GetPositionState(gnss_sampleRef, &gnss_fixState);
        LE_INFO("result = %d, Position state: %d", result, gnss_state_result);
        
        result = le_gnss_GetLocation(gnss_sampleRef, latitudePtr, longitudePtr, horizontalAccuracyPtr);
        if(result == LE_OK){
            break;
        }else if(
            (timeoutInSeconds != 0) &&
            (difftime(time(NULL), startTime) > (double)timeoutInSeconds))
        {
            result = LE_TIMEOUT;
            break;
        }else{
            LE_ERROR("GPS position getting error:%d", result);
            LE_INFO("GPS_Loc:latitude -> %d, longitude -> %d", *latitudePtr, *longitudePtr); 

            // Sleep for one second before requesting the location again.
            sleep(1);
        }

    }

    le_gnss_Stop();

    return result;
}

```

Thx

Yes, this link [legato-af/textLoc.c at master · legatoproject/legato-af · GitHub](https://github.com/legatoproject/legato-af/blob/master/apps/sample/textLoc/textLocComponent/textLoc.c) is right and **you should flow this code** and I think that you should modify several things like below :

- declare 3 **global variable** like that  
int32\_t lat  
int32\_t long;  
int32\_t horiz;

- In COMPONENT\_INIT  
{ le\_result\_t res ;  
res = GetCurrentLocation (&lat, &long, &horiz, GPSTIMEOUT);  
if ( res == LE\_FAULT)  
LE\_INFO (" FAILED \n") ;

}

I think that you got location data  
GPS\_Loc:latitude -\> 34770001, longitude -\> 138460007

Hi Andy\_5,

Its location data is invalid data.  
For confirmation, the program also displays the variable value even if an error is returned.  
In case of LE\_OK, it leaves from the while loop and displays valid values.

Certainly it was a confusing log.

Thx

Supplementally, the latitude and longitude in the log points to the sea. By the way, I am trying it in Tokyo, Japan.

I could get location data using handler function for EVENT ‘le\_gnss\_Position’ and executing le\_gnss\_GetPositionState() in the handler instead of polling.  
In case of using handler, it seems to be called per one second and it looks same as doing in case of polling.

The GNSS data could be got in up to 3 minutes using handler.  
But in case of polling, it could’t be got even in 5 minutes.

It’s good that the data can be got but I could’t understand why it can’t get them in case of polling.

Thx.
