Positioning settings reference

Complete reference for all positioning settings configurable per network.

Basic settings

Setting	API field	Default	Min	Max	Description
Positioning enabled	positioning_enabled	true	—	—	Enable or disable positioning for this network. Positioning is available on Pro and Enterprise plans.
Coordinate system	positioning_coordinate_system	gps	—	—	gps (lat/lon) or local (x/y/z meters)

Update behaviour

Setting	API field	Default	Min	Max	Unit	Description
Movement threshold	positioning_movement_threshold_meters	30	10	10,000	meters	Minimum movement to trigger a position update
Heartbeat interval	positioning_heartbeat_seconds	600	60	86,400	seconds	Periodic update interval (even without movement)
Zone timeout	positioning_zone_timeout_seconds	70	60	3,600	seconds	Delay before reporting zone exit

Data collection

Setting	API field	Default	Min	Max	Unit	Description
Collection window	positioning_window_seconds	90	30	3,600	seconds	Time window for collecting measurements before calculating a position
Max measurement age	positioning_max_measurement_age_seconds	900	60	86,400	seconds	Oldest data included in calculation

Quality targets

Setting	API field	Default	Min	Max	Unit	Description
Target accuracy	positioning_quality_target_accuracy	20	—	—	meters	Positions meeting this threshold are delivered faster
Target age	positioning_quality_target_age	120	60	3,600	seconds	Positions calculated within this age of signal data are delivered faster

System thresholds

These values are not configurable but affect positioning behaviour:

Parameter	Value	Description
Good accuracy tier	< 50 m	Preferred hotspots for positioning
Acceptable accuracy tier	50–100 m	Used when no good hotspots available
Max hotspot location age	~17 min (1,000 s)	Hotspots with location data older than this are excluded
