jose1711 10:29 Location: Phone Model: | hello stephen, could you please explain what info is pubDate tag supposed to give? my wife got confused yesterday because she saw my recent (pubDate) position at incorrect coordinates once i started TMJ on my e51 without connecting it to gps. possible explanation: either pubDate really means date/time of last device access (thus it has nothing to do with sending the position info) or e51 sent latest position as the current one thank you, jose | |
Stephen 19:24 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Jose, Yes, this is a bit confusing - the pubDate is the date/time that the device last connected to the website (ie via Menu/Web/Enable Upload). I've just tweaked the Livelink feed so that the RSS <description> text now correctly gives the time of the location fix. If you need to extract this programatically then the XML feed is probably better - it gives the <lastcontact> time (same as pubDate above), along with the <time> and <timezone> (in minutes +/- UTC) of the location fix. Hope it helps! Cheers, Stephen | |
