Method for setting the geolocation of a non-GPS enabled device
First Claim
1. A method for setting the geolocation of a non-GPS enabled device comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a GPS map of the site where the device is deployed;
obtaining a site map of the site;
determining the GPS coordinates of at least one of the corners of the site map;
overlaying the site map on the GPS map;
aligning the at least one corner of the site map with corresponding GPS coordinates on the GPS map;
calculating a grid covering the site map; and
selecting a location on the site map corresponding to the position of the device; and
determining, via a processor, the geolocation of the device by calculating the latitude and longitude of said position.

Abstract
A method and device for setting a geolocation of a non-GPS enabled device utilizes GPS mapping technology to allow a user to select and set an exact location for a given device within a facility. The method can include obtaining a GPS map of the site where the device is deployed, obtaining a site map of the site, determining the GPS coordinates of at least one of the corners of the site map, overlaying the site map on the GPS map, aligning the at least one corner of the site map with corresponding GPS coordinates on the GPS map, calculating a grid covering the site map, selecting a location on the site map corresponding to the position of the device, and determining the geolocation of the device by calculating the latitude and longitude of said position.
