Defining Locations

The Locations tab is used to define how things with this specific thing definition will respond to location information.

Fix types to ignore: Is used to specify location fix types to ignore when location information is received for a thing. Location information published for a thing can have a fix type that indicates how the location information is acquired. The fix types entered into this field will not update the thing's location. One possible situation where this may be useful is when a thing's location is set manually and all other fix types are to be ignored (as the locations other fix types report will be different than the one set manually).
Typical fix types are listed below. This is not an exhaustive list.

Typical fix type	Description
lpp	Acquired from the Cayenne LPP.
lwm2m-gps	Acquired from LwM2M Object 6 of LwM2M devices.
lwm2m-network	Acquired from LwM2M Object 4 of LwM2M devices.
network	Acquired from cellular network information via Radius data feed.

Don't decode address for location publishes: If selected the address is not decoded from the location.
Enable simple mode for location publishes: By default when a location is published, the deviceWISE Cloud checks if the location is within or outside any Geofence and calculates the distance between each location publishes. If simple mode is enabled, the deviceWISE Cloud ignores the Geofences and does not calculate the distance between publishes, instead it just publishes the location.
