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.

Update location

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.
