This page / section pertains to BrightAuthor Classic, our legacy app. BrightSign Author is our latest app for managing content and players.
Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
The GPS event specifies the action that occurs when a BrightSign player, connected to a compatible USB GPS device, enters or exits a defined geographical region. Any USB GPS receiver that conforms to the NMEA GPS standard should work with BrightSign players.
To enable the Event, port-2 must be assigned to be a GPS port.
- Event Direction: Determine how the event should trigger in relation to the defined region.
- Enter Region: The event triggers when the device moves from outside the defined region to inside of it.
- Exit Region: The event triggers when the device moves from inside the defined region to outside of it.
- Region: Define the size and shape of the circular region.
- Radius: Specify the radius of the circular region. Use the dropdown menu to specify the units in Miles or Kilometers.
- Latitude (degrees): Define the center of the circular region as a latitudinal coordinate.
- Longitude (degrees): Define the center of the circular region as a longitudinal coordinate.
You can create more than one entry or exit region by adding multiple GPS events to a single state.
