AT Command to get GPS position

[Will Lizardo]

Hi,

I am using the NRF9160-DK - HW issue 0.8.5 - FW version 1.0.0 and I am running the latest at_client example.

At this stage, I could get the board to work, and it seems that the LTE connectivity is excellent. However, I want to get the GPS position using an external antenna that is attached to the u.FL connector.

I have not found any AT Command to do the job, can you please provide some orientation?

Hi, Will!

I'm afraid that there isn't any AT Commands that can do the job. The procedure for getting a position is quite different, so I recommend you to take a look at the GPS example(also found in the sample folder) and if you want to do concurrent LTE and GPS operation, take a look at this sample provided by Håkon Alseth.

Good luck!

Hello,

I am not aware of any AT Command to read GPS position. Why do you need an AT Command? Have you looked at the GPS sample code?

Hi Hakon,

Yes, I have managed to make it work, but all the other cellular vendors use AT Commands to get the GPS position from their modules, which made me think why Nordic would not do the same in their AT Commands FW?
It would really make demonstrations and performance comparisons straight forward instead of having to compile a different FW for that.
