Question

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
