[Lukáš]

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!

Of course, Andreas. Thank you for your effort!

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
