The demonstration of getting position is shown as below: l e t l c a e i t u n Q ide f n o C Figure 26: Show in Map 4.7. GNSS GNSS provides a graphical presentation of satellite positioning information retrieved from the module. Open USB NMEA port (NMEA port is the default port; and you can change the port by AT+QGPSCFG=“OUTPUT” command) first. Choose the port number, and then click “Connect”. The module will not report the location information automatically even after the NMEA port is opened. You must send “AT+QGPS=1” command on the AT port. If you have selected the “Auto start/stop GNSS” here, “AT+QGPS=1” will be sent automatically from the AT port which is connected to the HOME page after QNavigator_User_Guide Confidential / Released 28 / 37 GSM/GPRS&UMTS/HSPA Module Series QNavigator User Guide clicking “Connect”. When the module has reported the location information, the system will automatically parse and classify the location result, and demonstrate them graphically. The module will only report the GPS location information by default. You can send AT+QGPSCFG=“GLONASSENABLE” on the AT port to let the module report GPS and GLONASS location information simultaneously. The main interface shows the current location of the module, such as latitude, longitude, and so on. You can query the map location, satellite azimuth and elevation angle, histogram of satellite signal and original NMEA data, etc. by switching the tabs on the bottom, shown as below: l e t l c a e i t u n Q ide f n o C Figure 27: Show in Map QNavigator_User_Guide Confidential / Released 29 / 37 GSM/GPRS&UMTS/HSPA Module Series QNavigator User Guide l e t l c a e i t u n Q ide f n o C Figure 28: Satellite Signal State Figure 29: Show NMEA Data NOTE GNSS function applies to UMTS/HSPA and LTE modules.
