<p>
If you choose, you can specify your latitude, longitude, and gridsquare for location purposes. The lat/lon values should be in decimal format (ex. 30.444522 and -95.111234).
<ul>
<li>The <strong>Find Me!</strong> button to use your location aware browser to populate the values. This works very well if you are viewing this page from a mobile device with a built-in GPS.</li>
<li>Use the <strong>Apply Location Settings</strong> button to persist the lat/lon and gridsquare values. A "Save Changes" button click is not required for these settings.</li>
<li>If you have an active internet connection available, the "Show Map" and "Upload Data to AREDN Servers" buttons will become active.</li>
<li>The <strong>Show Map</strong> button will display a map that allows you to click on the position where your node is located, or, to drag an existing marker to a different location on the map. Both of these activities will automatically update the lat/lon fields on the page.</li>
<li>The <strong>Upload Data to AREDN Servers</strong> button will send your node information (no highly sensitive data such as passwords are sent) to an AREDN server on the internet. By submitting this information you hereby allow AREDN to publish your node location on a public mapping service and utilize the information for other such reasons as AREDN determines to be useful, including but not limited to statistical analysis. If you wish to remove your node location from the public mapping service, simply clear/erase your lat/lon values, "Apply Location Settings", and then "Upload Data to AREDN Servers".</li>
</ul>
To see the information that will be sent to the AREDN server, click <a href='http://localnode.local.mesh:8080/cgi-bin/sysinfo.json?hosts=1'>HERE</a> and <a href='http://localnode.local.mesh:9090/topology'>HERE</a>.<br />
</p>
<p>
You may set the timezone where the node is located as well as setting the NTP server that the node will connect to. A "Save Changes" button click IS required for timezone and NTS server settings, as well as a subsequent reboot.
