Install

The reboot isn't always necessary, but it might be necessary due to the udev rules.

sudo dump1090-fa-set-location 50.12344 10.23429

Note: If you have your location configured on flightaware, that location takes precedence!

OR manually:

expand/collapse

sudo nano /etc/default/dump1090-fa

Add lat and lon to the decoder options line like in the following example:

DECODER_OPTIONS="--lat 50.1 --lon 10.0 --max-range 360"

Ctrl-o and enter to save, Ctrl-x to exit

Then restart dump1090-fa to apply the settings:

sudo systemctl restart dump1090-fa

sudo systemctl disable --now dump1090-fa-autogain.timer
