Stopping RPI reboot upon Position update

I have 2 RPI’s in my pickup truck that feed FlightAware. I have onboard WiFi, and the mobile location is updated via GPS dongles. The dongles sample signals every second, but the RPI only updates to FlightAware every 5 minutes.
As the location is updated in 5 minute intervals, the RPI’s constantly reboot to show the new location.

Is there a file that I can access via SSH, to prevent or change the RPI from rebooting whenever the location is updated? The 5 minute update interval is OK, a shorter interval would be preferred, but I can live with that. I just want to stop the reboot upon every location update.

I think, if I’m not mistaken, that @OBJ mentioned that a mobile version was coming or already available for mobile GPS in the software. The GPS dongles have approximately 4-12 window to start and receive GPS signals. If I take a 10 minute ride to the store, spend 15 minutes in the store, then the startup window begins again. After the 10 minute ride back to my destination, the RPI doesn’t show my “track” or my accurate location. It only shows the last location that was within the 5 minute update. The RPI reboots, and the whole process begins again.

I there a way to change the update interval, OR the whole reboot upon location update?

Thanks, KB4ERT

I wouldn’t expect a position change to cause a Pi reboot at all, so I think you have some other problem going on.
