How to View a Frontier's GPS Position

Frontier GPS allows you to view the physical position reported by your device directly from the Pulsa dashboard.

You can use this information to verify installations, locate equipment, and compare a device's reported position with its assigned customer Location.

Viewing your Frontier's position

  1. Open the Pulsa dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the sensor associated with your Frontier.
  3. Open the Sensor Details page.
  4. Select the Frontier's current Location to open its location information.
  5. Review the available positioning information.

The location panel displays the device's reported coordinates and a map of its position.

Understanding the information displayed

Assigned Location

The address or site currently assigned to the sensor in your Pulsa account.

Reported Position

The physical coordinates reported by the Frontier device.

Position accuracy

GPS positions include an accuracy radius, displayed on the map.

This radius represents the area in which the device is estimated to be located. A larger radius indicates less precise positioning information.

What if the Position differs from the assigned Location?

If Pulsa identifies a possible discrepancy, the Sensor Details page may display a message such as "Choose location (X nearby)."

This indicates that Pulsa has identified nearby Locations that may match the device's reported position.

You can review the suggested Locations and either select an existing Location or create a new one using the GPS coordinates.

Viewing GPS suggestions on Map View

When Pulsa detects a possible location discrepancy, the Map View may display a "Could be here" indicator.

Selecting this indicator takes you to the Sensor Details page, where you can review and confirm the device's Location.

Important: The Map View does not currently display all GPS-reported positions directly. It surfaces suggested location changes that may require your review.
