Gary,

There is also a google group called at-users that has been very
helpful for us, but right now I can't get into it to point you to the
solution. Did they kill google groups as I had heard threatened?

But we had the same problem and I nice guy named Rolf provided a
solution. AFAIK he is the most active supporter of the AssetTracker
module. He has his own fork on github but there was some talk on
at-us...@googlegroups.com of folding his fixes into the main branch.

Anyway, here is the fix he provided:
