Looks like the location information is not available, ttsstatus reports: `{"eui":"AA555A0008060249","location":"0,0","status":"up","last_seen":"2015-12-07 22:58:54","remarks":"TTN Flevoland, Voiceworks #2","created_at":"2015-12-03 16:23:53","updated_at":"2015-12-07 23:00:08"},{"eui":"AA555A00080605A2","location":"0,0","status":"up","last_seen":"2015-12-07 22:58:41","remarks":"TTN Flevoland, Voiceworks #1","created_at":"2015-12-03 16:23:53","updated_at":"2015-12-07 23:00:08"},` Looking at the API results for those euis: `{ "status_packets_count": 10332, "eui": "AA555A00080605A2", "altitude": 0.0, **"latitude": 0.0,**"last_seen": "2015-12-07T22:06:11.501Z", "longitude": 0.0 },` and `{ "status_packets_count": 28023, "eui": "AA555A0008060249", "altitude": 0.0, "latitude": 0.0, "last_seen": "2015-12-07T22:05:54.923Z", "longitude": 0.0 },` No location information either… Have you set (part of gateway\_conf): `"ref_latitude": 52.510113, "ref_longitude": 5.479591, "ref_altitude": 8,` as well as `"fake_gps": true,` ??

Not sure what’s your question, but the data comes from the API [http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways/](http://thethingsnetwork.org/api/v0/gateways/), status is added on [http://www.ttnstatus.org/gateways](http://www.ttnstatus.org/gateways) based on last seen. As for the mapping: Gateways on the main website (e.g. [http://thethingsnetwork.org/c/amsterdam](http://thethingsnetwork.org/c/amsterdam)) are mapped with Google Maps, which just has an API for “draw a circle with radius R”. The gateways on [http://ttn.lpwan.uk/](http://ttn.lpwan.uk/) are mapped with OpenSteetMap, and I assume they have a similar drawing API. ---

As I am living in oostzaan i was looking for a gateway that i could reach with a sensor. Thats the reason I try to plot all gateways on a map. ---

My new Gateway is active, but it does not show the GPS location in the output on the Gateways page of TTN. I read in the answers above that the gps forwarder is needed for that, still in the wiki manual for setting up the Kerlink Gateway, the poly forwarder is named as the best option. Can somebody clarify? ---

on my GW the poly\_forwarder supports setting GPS coordinates manually in local\_conf.json under gateway\_conf `{ "gateway_conf": { "ref_latitude": x.xxx, /* put your latitude here */ "ref_longitude": y.yyy, /* put your longitude here */ "ref_altitude": z, /* put your altitude here */ } }` ---

Those options are in my config, my they do not appear in the Gateway api. I additionally have ‘“fake\_gps”: true’ in the config. ---

Hi all, Is this problem with the coordinates, description and owner info already solved? I put them for the Lorank8 in de global json but a API / Json request show’s no change. {“altitude”:0.0,“eui”:“1DEE17627C84BEA5”,“last\_seen”:“2016-02-01T09:25:55.913Z”,“latitude”:0.0,“status\_packets\_count”:8664,“longitude”:0.0}, Regards Dagmar ---

You also need to set ‘“gps”: true’ in your local\_conf.json **in addition** to fake\_gps and your coordinates. Seems odd this is not documented somewhere. Cheers! Erwin ---

Finally got Multiech online covering Twickenham, TW2 Greater London. I’ve been at it over 24 hours and in all that time I missed one line of instruction. \*Edit /etc/init.d/lora-network-server. Around line 17 you need to change from using \* _basic\_pkt\_fwd to using poly\_pt\_fwd: pkt\_fwd=/opt/lora/poly\_pkt\_fwd_ This is insanely hard… Still another node on line, just need to start sending some data and stuff now I don’t know wether to laugh or cry right now. ---

Yeah I reckon having spent the time learning (for learning read, Trial by ordeal). I could get this reasonably off pat now.

Small update: the status and coordinates of the gateways on the main website ([http://thethingsnetwork.org](http://thethingsnetwork.org)) are now updated live, based on the API. So if you have a live gateway, be sure to add it - including eui identifier - to the community platform using your own account. See also: > [@\[OFFICIAL\] TheThingsNetwork.org & Community Pages](https://www.thethingsnetwork.org/forum/t/official-thethingsnetwork-org-community-pages/500/22): > > A few updates on the platform and the gateways in particular: All gateways on the platform ([http://thethingsnetwork.org/map](http://thethingsnetwork.org/map) and the community pages) are live updated from now on - every 5 minutes - to reflect the status and, if set, the coordinates, if send to the network. Gateways not seen for more than 3 hours are set to ‘inactive’ until they appear again. Unknown (new) gateways will be added automatically and named “Unclaimed gateway”, until the owner adds its own gateway with the same EUI… ---
