### GpsOperation

+| GpsOpStationary | 1 | Note: This mode was removed, because it is identical go GpsOpMobile with a gps_update_rate of once per day
+
+This node is mostly stationary, we should try to get location only once per day, Once we have that position we should turn the GPS to sleep mode This is the recommendated configuration for stationary 'router' nodes |
| GpsOpMobile | 2 | This node is mobile and we should get GPS position at a rate governed by gps_update_rate |
| GpsOpTimeOnly | 3 | We should only use the GPS to get time (no location data should be acquired/stored) Once we have the time we treat gps_update_interval as MAXINT (i.e. sleep forever) |
| GpsOpDisabled | 4 | GPS is always turned off - this mode is not recommended - use GpsOpTimeOnly instead |
