# LM - Location Type

The LM device supports two location types: **Dynamic** and **Static**.

* **Dynamic Location**: Enables tracking the device's position history over a selected timeframe, ideal for mobile applications like containers or vehicles.
* **Static Location**: Displays only the device's last known location, suitable for devices mounted on stationary objects.

The choice between dynamic and static depends on the device's role—dynamic for moving assets and static for fixed installations—ensuring the location settings align with operational needs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.g-iot.io/level-meter-full-device-guide-book/level-meter-greater-than-giots-function/lm-device-properties/lm-details/lm-location-type.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
