Hi Romuald,

Underneath Octave Location application is used Legato le\_pos API

> **[le\_pos API Reference - Legato Docs](https://docs.legato.io/latest/group __le__ pos.html)**
>
> legato™ is an open source Linux-based embedded platform designed to simplify connected IoT application development

Please check `le_pos_Get3DLocation` function, this is the one used.

Unfortunately the speed is not offered through Octave, could be an evolution. I will discuss with the Product Team.

Kind regards,  
Nicolas
