NRF9160 GPS Speed Accuracy

Hi,

How do we get the GPS speed accuracy out of the module? We have used other GPS modules in the past which have output the speed accuracy which we use to qualify the data.

I have noticed occurrences where the GPS fix looks fine, but only when validating the data myself is it obvious the speed is way out. For example, when leaving a tunnel I got a GPS fix with a PDOP of 2.2, >= 4 satellites and a position accuracy 14m, but with a speed of 169km/h which is double what I was doing (speed limit on the road is 80km/h). Here is a snapshot of the data from our platform:

Kind regards,

Thomas
