For those that have dug into Smart Beaconing. Any suggestions here on
the AP510 settings?

Thanks, Bill

Recommended SmartBeaconing settings for a vehicle, for normal driving:
PARAMETER VALUE UNITS COMMENT
Fast Speed 60 mph 3 miles per posit
Fast Rate 180 sec 3 miles per posit
Slow Speed 5 mph go to low rate at/below 5mph
Slow Rate 1800 sec
Min Turn Time 15 sec 15 secs dead-time for corner posits
Min Turn Angle 30 deg ~30 deg per posit at higher speeds
Turn Slope 255 unitless requires a turn of more degrees at slower speeds

The settings I have on the AP510 tracker were close but not exactly the same.

Low speed 5
Slow rate 1800
Turn angle 25
High speed 55
Fast rate 120
Turn slope 255
Turn time 15
