cooli4enko85

The "wialon-lbs-geocoding" plugin type is used to apply Wialon LBS service functionality to resolve the coordinates of GSM base stations into position coordinates. This may be helpful if for some reason GPS data is unavailable.

wialon-lbs-geocoding plugin is updated: previously the plugin was applied only to those messages that DID NOT have position.latitude and position.longitude parameters, and had gsm.mcc, gsm.mnc, gsm.lac and gsm.cellid parameters.
This condition was made less strict and now the plugin is applied to all messages that have gsm.mcc, gsm.mnc, gsm.lac and gsm.cellid parameters, disregarding the presence of position.latitude and position.longitude parameters.

✅ Please also note, that you may use validate_message field in the plugin setup to specify the condition to select messages the plugin will be applied to. For example, you may use $position.valid==false expression to apply plugin logic only to the messages with invalid (or absent) position.

To simplify switching to LBS source of position data when GNSS is not available, we implemented a special option in the plugin:

When option is enabled, plugin will store its coordinates is standard position.latitude and position.longitude parameters amended with position.source = "lbs" for clarification.

Previously, you should have used an extra plugin to copy position.lbs.latitude and position.lbs.longitude into standard position parameters. Now, when needed, you can detect coordinates from LBS and replace standard position parameters with a single plugin by utilizing this option.
