Hi!

I think it would be useful to allow linking WiFi SSIDs with GPS location data.

During setup, it could be possible to associate one or more of the created SSIDs with specific coordinates. Then, if I move the iGate from one location to another, it could automatically match the SSID of its connection to the corresponding coordinates, updating its position without needing reconfiguration.

do you mean that the iGate gets the gps position to know which position to have as a fixed value while it has been moved?

Nope, I mean to preconfig the position as we actually do (my bad to use the term "gps" in the first line), but not limiting to only one position for the whole config of the igate, admitting one position per SSID. IE:

SSID 1 = Oficina
Position 1 = -73.2, -46.5

SSID 2 = Casa
Position 2 = -73.1, -46.4

So, if the iGate is connected to "Oficina", it assumes its position to be "Position 1". If it is disconnected and then reconnected to "Casa", it assumes automatically its position to be "Position 2". No GPS module needed, just getting the change as it recognices the SSID.
