GNSS Position of the Scout

The Dronetag Scout is equipped with a GNSS receiver that enables:
- Visibility on the map within our application
- Time synchronization using the GNSS signal
- Transmission of position data to the server via the network
Privacy Control
All Scouts are delivered with GNSS location enabled by default. However, you can disable GNSS location or enter the location coordinates manually. Turning off GNSS will prevent leaking Scout's location over the network. It will not be visible in Heartbeat/Status messages nor in data. Disabling GNSS will not affect Scout's ability to correct its time using embedded GNSS module.
