RUTX50 as RV Tracker

I want to offer my Blog-followers (the blog is Wordpress-based) the opportunity to see the route I have traveled and my current location on my Blog. As RUTX50 is offering HTTP-based protocols for tracking I want to use the Wordpress-plugin Trackserver to integrate in my blog.
Trackserver, being a WordPress plugin, support HTTP-based protocols for tracking.

Under “General – GPS- and Satellite” configuration section all positions are enabled . After turning on GPS, on the Map page of RUTX50 the correct position is shown.

But RUTX50 is not sending GPS data to my blog, just a blank record. The Trackserver-Log shows the same entry every hour:
User: bluefire – Name: OsmAnd – Start: 2024-11-14 07:00:36 – End: 2024-11-14 07:00:36 – Points: 0 – Distance: 0 – Source: Unknown

I interpret the log entry that RUTX50 is connecting to Trackserver-Plugin, but it seems not sending any data. The manual from RUTX50 is very minimalistic and contains no information about it.

Questions:

  1. Trackserver understands only specific URL parameters: ‘lat’, ‘lon’, ‘timestamp’ which are the most relevant ones. Does RUTX50 send this parameters? What Trackserver needs looks like this: https://myblog.com/ts/userid/password?lat={0}&lon={1}&timestamp={2}&altitude={4}&speed={5}&bearing={6} .
  2. Do additional details have to be configured in RUTX50 configuration so that all needed parameters are sent to Trackserver?

Hello,

Apologies for the delayed reply.

  1. Yes, RUTX50 can send the parameters you provided.
  2. To achieve this, ensure GPS is enabled on your RUTX50 and properly configure the AVL server settings in the WebUI. You can follow the steps described here: RUTX50 GPS Configuration.

Additionally, please confirm the RutOS firmware version your RUTX50 is running. If it is not the latest 7.11.13 version, kindly update your device. You can download the latest firmware from here: RUTX50 Firmware Downloads.

Let me know if you need further assistance!
