car-gps's Issues

Segment GPX traces

GPX data traces should be automatically segmented into a new track when a data gap of more than some multiplier of the transmission interval is reached. This will prevent the joining of disparate tracks when displaying the data in OpenLayers.

TODO

Frequency option to gps script to reduce data usage
Fix for filtered TPV packet code

Buffer GPS points, send when connection restored

Data packets are currently dropped if transmission fails. Instead, the code should push these onto a queue. The head of the queue should be transmitted, then the value popped if the transmission was acknowledged- the STOMP code also needs to have ACKs turned on for this to work. While items exist in the queue, the head should be peeked, transmitted, and popped on ACK.
