nRF9160 GPS update rate

Hello,

what is the update rate of the GPS in the nRF9160? This is something that I couldn't find in the provided data sheet.

Thanks!

  • Hi.

    Sorry for the late reply, the question got a bit lost.

    I have been told the following:

    Modes of operation:

    • Single shot (cold start mode by default)
    • Position fix per fixed interval, configurable between 10 s - 1 hour: first start with cold start, sequential fixes with hot start
    • Continuous tracking

    In the "continuous tracking" mode, you will continuously get a position once per second.

    In the "position per fixed interval mode", the GPS will require 5 seconds to produce a fix (do a hot start), e.g. if the fix interval is configured to 2 minutes, the GPS will wake up after 1min55s, do a hot start, and produce the position on the 2 min mark. These figures are approximate, depending on LTE activity.

    Sorry again for the late reply.

    Best regards,

    Andreas
