We are currently only logging time/lat/lng data from the gps module. According to man 8 gpsd the following additional data is also available:

  • Horizontal uncertainty (meters)
  • Altitude (meters)
  • Altitude uncertainty (meters)
  • Course (degrees from true north)
  • Course (uncertainty in meters)
  • Speed (meters per second)
  • Speed (uncertainty in meters per second)
  • Climb (meters per second)
  • Climb uncertainty (meters per second)
  • Device name

Likely all these should be logged, even if they will not be uploaded to OADA or wherever. However, I noticed that with the gps2tsdb container, some of them are null. Unsure if our GPS module does not support them or it is an issue with the python library, but we should discuss how to record values that are not available.
