Location

System location has been introduced in LORIX OS 1.6

See location

You can see the location on the System > Location page of the Manager GUI.

In the top-right layers buttons, you can choose alternative layer:

Plan : standard plan
Satellite : aerial photos layer
Topo : topographic representation. Good for terrain perception and formal details

Data availability may depends on the layer and region used.

You can get the location with:

manager system location

BASH

$ manager system location latitude
Latitude: 46.357285
Longitude: 6.017324
Altitude: 1532 m

You can also get more atomic data with:

manager system location <coordinates|altitude>

BASH

This may be specially useful when scripting and using the alternative output formats.

You can update the coordinates on the map by using the three buttons on the bottom-left of the map:

Set current : get your current position (from the browser). Useful if you are on (or near) site. Only available when connected through https.
Set on map : pin the location on the map
Set coordinates : enter numeric coordinates

To update the altitude, edit the field below the map.

To change the coordinates:

sudo manager system location coordinates set <latitude,longitude>

CODE

The decimal separator is the dot (.).

Example:

sudo manager system location coordinates set 45.65489,6.457894

CODE

To change the altitude:

sudo manager system location altitude set <altitude>

CODE

Example:

sudo manager system location altitude set 1345

CODE

Altitude is available in "meters" only. To convert from feet to meters, multiply by 0,3048.
