Using nRF Cloud A-GPS with Another Cloud Service

[Akash Patel]

Hello,

I am looking at the Asset Tracker v2 example and was wondering if it is possible to use the A-GPS or P-GPS services offered through nRF Cloud if I am using AWS or Azure as my cloud service provider? If so, how can that be accomplished?

Regards,

Akash

Hello Akash,

Yes, it is possible to use nRF Cloud Location Services in combination with other clouds. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a device that is accessing/fetching location data from nRF Cloud. It can also be any other cloud instance. This is basically just an API call from the other cloud to the nRF Cloud.  

If so, how can that be accomplished?

You can read more about this here. We are working on an improved documentation as we speak.

Markus

Hello Joe,

I will go on vacation for a couple of weeks now. But I just got the information that the updated documentation should be released during the next week.

The official nRF Cloud documentation is available at docs.nrfcloud.com. For this use case you would want to use modem firmware 1.3 and JWTs for authenticating the REST-based Location Service endpoints. Relevant docs:
