Hi Mike,

[quote user="Mike Fuehl"]

1. What constitutes "cell data"?

2. What types are mapped to requestType=rtLocation? Only type 8? Or are there more types included?

[/quote]

1. Cell data is ECI, TAC, RSRQ, RSRP, etc. Details from the cell tower that allow nRF Cloud to get an approximate location.

2. Only type 8 is mapped to rtLocation, you are correct.

Best regards,

Cole

Hi Cole, thank you for the reply.

2 follow up questions if I may:
1. What constitutes "cell data"?

2. What types are mapped to requestType=rtLocation? Only type 8? Or are there more types included?

Kind regards

Hi Mike,

I'm Cole, working with the nRF Cloud Team on location services. You are right that the customTypes (now types) and requestType have been changed with the new AGNSS endpoint. If no types are provided, the system will use the following types by default (same a requestType=rtAssistance from the current API):

1 = GPS UTC
2 = GPS Ephemerides
3 = GPS Almanac
4 = Klobuchar Ionospheric Correction
6 = GPS Time of Week
7 = GPS System Clock
9 = GPS Integrity

If cell data is sent, it will also add type 8 (Location).

Happy to answer any other questions.

Best,

Cole

Hello Mike,

I am looking into this and need some more time to confirm with our team about the available documentation that can be helpful here. I will get back to you soon with an update once I receive further information on this.

Best Regards,
