Update

3.2.2

- Route list is now sorted by End Date. This is useful if you reuse routes on different days, so this will not sink at the bottom of the route list.

hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates lately. I am very busy writing a game for PC and Android devices and it is taking all of my spare time.

I still have many ideas for TrackMe that I will add in the future, so if you guys have any suggestions, please let me know.

Also, please take some time to review the app if possible! Basically all the reviews I get lately are from people who don't know how to use it and they just give me the lowest rating. :(

I know TrackMe's interface is not the best, but I don't think it's totally fair. If anybody here who uses TrackMe has ideas to make it more attractive keeping it simple and the same functionality,

I would be more than happy to make those changes.
[Android Apps and Games] gzaviou:
Hello,

Today I'am connect to my account of Trackme and I am surprise that all my routes had disappear.

I had all the routes of my journey of 6 month on my account. I wish they are not losted for ever.

Do you can restore them?

Thank you in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry about that. I am paying for a new web host because I had many problems with the previous one and they also kept increasing the price.

Since I don't get any feedback from users here or new reviews anymore I thought that people wouldn't care or use that feature, so I didn't want to

spend time migrating the existing data.

You will have to upload them again if you have have them on your phone.

Regards.

Hello,

Even though I Have WIFI/Cell activated, I get the message "Provider network disabled." I would love to get some cell network location as I can't have GPS on all the time. Any suggestions why this message appears?
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's strange. Did you verify that you have all that enabled in your phone settings?
[Android Apps and Games] Stuffen17:
Oh my bad. I misunderstood the whole wifi/Cell thing. I didn't get that it is the same as the GPS with energy saver mode/low accuracy mode.

I thought it would work just with cell tower info (so no GPS option turned on)
[Android Apps and Games] webvan:
Just switched to the Moto X4 phone and the app isn't able to read SMS messages for remote controlling. When I activate the feature I get a warning message about "SMS Conflicts", see the screenshot for details. Is there a workaround for this ? Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It also stopped working for me sometime ago. Google has added a lot of restrictions in recent Android updates. Maybe there is a new API I should use to make it

work like it was but I haven't spent time on that because of the reasons I mentioned in my previous posts. Sorry about that. Hopefully I will get back to development one day

if I see more interest from users.
[Android Apps and Games] webvan:
ok, thanks ! Hopefully this great app can live on ;)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I hope that, too!
[Android Apps and Games] jonbbrad:
Such a great app... I used it last year while visiting Peru. we have 18 high school kids with us and I set it up so parents could see where were were at all times. Plan on using it this year for our trip to Rome. Please keep developing this!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks so much for this! This is the kind of thing that makes me happy and motivates me to keep working on the app! I really appreciate it.

Good thing is that I haven't totally abandoned it. I'm still thinking about redoing the interface so it doesn't look so obsolete. I will post here any updates if that happens.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
NEW UPDATE!

-Fixed Weather error that would cause TrackMe to crash (hopefully!)

-Updated TargetSDK to Oreo (Required by Google)

Sorry for the lack of updates during the last year. I got involved in writing a videogame which is keeping me very busy during my spare time. I still use TrackMe a lot while I'm on travel or hiking and hopefully I'll get back to it at some

point. Only problem is that the source code is getting obsolete and I need to make a lot of changes to catch up with the new features that Google demands, but I will eventually.

Thanks so much for everybody who still uses it and please don't hesitate about posting here suggestions or any other problems that you may have. This Weather issue that should be fixed on this version has been there for a long time and reported by probably more than 100 users. Sorry it took so long. I was never able to reproduce it, but I almost positive it's fixed now.

Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Important

Well, I messed it up. After I updated to the latest SDK as Google required before November 1st, now TrackMe doesn't work because it should ask users for permissions manually and I obviously I don't have that code so it just crashes... That sucks and it's a huge problem, because I can't rollback to the previous version and I can't (as far I as I know) to prevent existing users to update to that buggy version. I just unpublished it from Google

for new users. That's the only thing I can do until I fix this, but honestly I don't know when that's going to happen. Sorry about that. I am very pissed about this. If you still haven't updated... just don't do it. That's easy to say because almost everybody is using autoupdate...
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I will be working on a fix soon. Hopefully it's not too much of a change.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update 3.3.0

Added permissions check required by Google Oreo. This is a quick fix so you guys can use it. I will be testing this version and tuning up these changes until everything is 100% functional. If you guys find any problems, please let me know!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Ok, latest version in the store should have all the functionality. Enjoy!

If you find any bugs please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
By the way, if you were using SMS tracking before these updates, you need to reenable it to accept the permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update

- Added new permissions required by Android Pie (Version 9)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update

- SMS tracking has been updated to support newer Android versions.

Thanks for being here again!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Glad to see that you're still around! You are one of the veterans here. :p
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update

TrackMe has a new and fresh face! Hope you guys like it. I got a few 1-star reviews because of the ugly interface. Hopefully now it's a little less ugly. :D

This version also has a fix for storing images that at some point stopped working because of Android updates.

[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It seems the latest updates crash on Android Pie 9. I made a fix on 4.0.1 that hopefully took care of the problem. If you guys own a phone running Android Pie, could you try it?
[Android Apps and Games] PuppeJuputti:
Still crashes after that second update.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
*Edited*

Please check my next post.

Offline tracking

Hi Luis, I seem to remember that there was a button for offline tracking on an older version. I used to use that feature when not connected to a cell or hotspot, then when home upload all my tracks. Is that feature still there somewhere? Thanks for your quick fixes to Pie.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmm... not sure if I follow you. Current TrackMe always works in offline mode, because everything is stored locally on the phone, unless you decide to sync with a TrackMe server. If you don't want to sync while recording, you can always export any route to your server later.

In the old TrackMe, every time a position was received it would try to upload it to the server. If this was not possible, then it would stay on your phone until internet was available again. That is what I called offline mode.

Let me know if this is not what you were asking.

Edit:

oh, I think I know what you mean. Right now, if you are syncing with a TrackMe server and the upload fails for some reason, you lose that position and it doesn't get reuploaded later, like it did in the old version.

Here what you will have to do is to export the whole route again once you have internet connection. Maybe this is something I could add as a new feature.
[Android Apps and Games] Joe Szikszoy:
Here is the scenario as I remember this feature:

In online mode: I am logging and uploading constantly and viewers can see my real-time movements on my website.

In offline mode. I toggle a button and it only logs to phone (internet/cell still active). At some point later I upload my tracks.

There are times that I am okay with people watching my live movements and other times that I only want to show where I've been.

---------- Post added at 03:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Is that the function of the cloud icon in the new UI?
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You should be able to achieve those modes by checking/unchecking the "Sync my positions" checkbox. If you think it's a little too hidden, maybe I could add it in the main menu.

The Cloud function is kind of simialr. It doesn't store anything though. It just shows your location on the map. It's public but you can limit the audience.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
UPDATE

4.0.4

- Fixed crash when adding a new comment from the map and clicking on it

- Fixed crash when adding a new marker not associated with a route (POI) from the map
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update

4.0.5

- Bug fix: TrackMe could crash when using Live Stats if permissions had not been accepted.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Update

4.0.6

- Google does no longer allow apps to handle SMS messages, so I had to disable SMS tracking. I was back and forth with them trying to let me use this feature but it was impossible, otherwise they would remove TrackMe from the store :(

If somebody still wants to use SMS tracking, I can try uploading the app somewhere, but I won't be updating this version in the future.

Import GPX - when will it be available?

When I try to import a gpx track I get "this feature is not available yet"

Was curious when this might be enabled. I can upload GPXs as an overlay fine but I'd like to add a gpx file so it is "managed" by trackme. Kind of a make or break for me.

Also when I do add a GPX overlay the directories and files are not listed in alphabetical order which makes for a bit of a struggle finding the right one. are not in

Lovely bit of work you are doing.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just checked that issue about sorting and you are right. I'll try to fix it for the next version and also import routes in GPX format.
[Android Apps and Games] geodv8:
Wow - that was fast - Thanks!! Looking forward to it.

While I have your attention (smile) how does export of the images associated with the gpx file work? I always get an error message but no indication of what the problem is. Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No problem. :)

Do you mean exporting an existing route to a GPX file? Images are not exported when using this feature (or with KML files) Only when you export to a TrackMe server images are exported.

However you shouldn't get an error...
[Android Apps and Games] geodv8:
Sorry - yes that is what I mean. When I export/upload a track all tracks upload fine to my trackserver except any tracks with an image when I get the following error on the log : "Error exporting image at position 2 (https:/xxxxxxx etc etc). The track exports fine and is visible in trackserver.

trackserver is wordpress plugin GPS Track Server for TrackMe Version 4.2.2 | By Martijn Grendelman
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ahh... but you are exporting to a TrackMe server, not to a GPX file.

Maybe it's an issue with that trackserver. Can you try the official one to see if it works? Using the URL header http://luisespinosa.com/trackme

If it works, then maybe they didn't implement that feature.
[Android Apps and Games] a0b1c2:
Hi,

I've searched the thread for my question but either I suck at searching and/or I entered the wrong keywords. ;)

I don't have a data plan. Ideally, it would be great to use offline maps in 'live map' view.

Is that in the works?

Thx!

-pablo
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No, you can't because TrackMe uses Google Maps. However what I usually do when I'm not going to have a data plan is to download offline maps from Google Maps. I always do that before going

hiking because you may lose data connectivity. I never really considered adding offline maps from a different source but I may give it a try in the future if there is enough interest.

Thanks for using TrackMe!

Regards,

Luis
[Android Apps and Games] a0b1c2:
Hola Luis,

Como espero que estas bien! ;)

I'm sorry I was not clear. I would like to use Google Maps in Offline mode. The app did not seem to support it. I will try a more rigorous test.

Thanks!

-pablo
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hola Pablo.... todo bien. :)

It should work. If you have downloaded offline maps in Google Maps, you should be able to see them in TrackMe. Be sure that you have Map Type set to "Normal" though.

Google Maps doesn't allow at this moment to download maps with more detail.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey everybody...

Just a quick update to let you know that I'm working on a new version. It will include a new feature that lets you follow a track that has been previously loaded from a GPX file or existing route, and notify you when you move away from it. Very useful when you are hiking so you don't need to be looking at it constantly. It also includes some of the features that you guys have requested either here or by email.

I will be testing it this week.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update!

* Follow route. You can now follow an existing route or a GPX file. TrackMe will notify you when you move off route. This feature is great for hiking so you don't have to look constantly at your phone! You can enable/disable it by clicking on the top left icon inside the Live Map screen. You can also adjust different parameters in Settings inside the "Follow Route" section.

* Now you can import GPX files in your routes.

* Speed average is now displayed in Live Stats.

* When searching in your route list, last search will be stored for future references.

* When browsing a file, the files and directories are displayed in alphabetical order.

* Fixed possible crash when using Motion Sensors for recording on Android Pie because of insufficient permissions.

* Other bug fixes.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys... a big favor. If you use TrackMe please leave a review on Google Play. It's really the only way for new users to try it if they see it's useful for other people.

Lately I only get bad reviews, which is ok, but the problem it's because they didn't know how to use it and then just give 1 star... :(

To be honest, I don't feel motivated about adding new stuff if all what I see is that...

Awesome program, a few glitches

New user. A couple of issues come up immediately:

1) On my Galaxy 9, running Android 9 Pie, the hamburger menu appears as black text on a charcoal background...i.e. completely unreadable unless I max out screen brightness.

(I attempted to add a screenshot here, but in 12 years I haven't posted enough on XDA to qualify for outside-link privileges. sigh)

2) The times in an exported GPX file purport to be in UTC (aka zulu, aka GMT) time (e.g. 2019-06-15T14:38:02Z). Actually they're in whatever the phone's local time is, even though they have the "Z" on the end that indicates they're supposed to be "Zulu." This messes up their usefulness for most "exporting" scenarios (for example, mapping programs, photo programs, etc.). I suggest that you fix this so Zulu is Zulu... or at least make it a user-selectable menu option. (<soapbox> We have standards for a reason</soapbox>)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi tcurran,

Thanks for using TrackMe.

Yeah, a few similar issues have been reported on Pie, but since I don't own one I can't really fix them until I upgrade my phone. As soon as I can get one (or at least a temporary one), I'll fix it.

Good catch. I'll add it to my to-do list for the next release.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] tcurran:
I have a number of apps that had their basic color scheme messed up by Pie. If you were thinking of adding "themes," now would be a jolly good time to do it. :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I wish I could rewrite the whole interface! :)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update

* Fixed: Possible crash when stopping Motion Detection (Android Pie)

* Fixed: Menu item colors are wrong (Android Pie)

Nothing big this time... just a couple of fixes for the Android Pie version. I hope you guys are enjoying the summer!

[Android Apps and Games] IQ512:
wrong positions within a track

Hi togehter,

I just discovered TrackMe a few days ago, so I am not an expierenced user.

Background: I want to track a comming several weeks holiday trip with my family with TrackMe and publish a live map on a website (Wordpress with Trackserver-Plugin) to give our Families&Friends the chance to see where we are ;)

What I recognized yesterday is that the accurancy of the GPS is not always very good. Of course this is not a problem wihtin TrackMe, since it gets its information about the position from the GPS-module of my phone, but my question is as follows.

Example: I was at home an I was doing some tests with TrackMe setting like time base recording and minimum accuracy and minimum distance. This means I was at home all time, but we I look in the recorded positions then I see e.g. one position almost 300km away from my house. So this means that is is clearly a faulty position.

As I do not know/find any other setting filter/suppress such wrong positions in the track, I thought about an option similar but vice-versa to "minimum distance". Let´s call it maximum distance. If I know that I configured position recording to let´s say every 5 minutes, then I know that I cannot go more than 10km (assumed a velocity of 120km/h). In this case a filter mechanism could suppress every position that is more than 10km away from my last position.

Additional considerations:

- it could be possible to double the maximum distance, because if one positioning was erronous then the intervall between the first and the third (second erronous) position recording might be 10 minutes insteadof 5min (I do not know if it would be possible to directly retry to record a position if one was denied by this filtering, insteadof waiting for the next interval of e.g. 5 minutes)

- maybe it would be possible in a next improvement to make this filtering distance dependent on the (average) speed of the last few recoreded positions

These are just some ideas because these erronous positions within an track would be quite annoying and distance calculations and other statistics would be wrong. At least live tracking on a website would have very strange effects.

Kind Regards,

Iq512
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi IQ512,

Thanks for using TrackMe! You shouldn't be getting positions 300km far away. That's very strange and I've never seen something like that. If TrackMe is receiving a position that it's 300 km away and the accuracy is under the limits, it has to be something wrong with your phone. The app receives positions that include location and accuracy and it will discard the ones whose accuracy is off. If the position says the accuracy is good, it will not discard it even if it is 300km away. Only time I got a position way off was when I was under a pole line. I can tell you which are the settings I always use. I use TrackMe for hiking and vacation trips.

I have GPS, WiFi and Cell Network and Quick Fix checked.

Minimum accuracy: 15 m (49 ft)

Minimum distance: 15 m (49 ft)

Minimum time: 30 seconds

Also verify on your Android settings that you have set location to High Accuracy, just in case it's only using WiFi

Regards,

Luis
[Android Apps and Games] IQ512:
Hi Luis,

thanks for the very fast reply and for the greate App you developed.

I checked all seetings you mentioned respectively adapted your settings and tried around this afternoon a little.

Unfortunately there are again several faulty positions in the track (but noch several hundert kilometers wrong, but between several hundred meters and a few kilometers wrong).

If you are interested you can look how the track looks like, even if you do not know where I was in reality, I think it´s easy to see that several positions are totally wrong ;) (I´ll sent you a link to my wordpress sample page via mail or PN).

[My phone is a Sony Xperia Xcompact with Android 8.0]

Regards,

IQ512
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi IQ512,

I saw your route. I can see the positions that are off. TrackMe has a debugging option to store the positions in a file for additional processing. I'm going to add a new extra field to that file with accuracy information,

so you can do some testing and then check that file, to determine if your phone is considering that position's accuracy is correct. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Ok, I just submitted an update that you should be getting soon. In this update, if you check to Settings->Debugging settings->Log Positions,

a file called Positions.txt will be created in the TrackMe/Log folder. Record some positions for a while and then check your map like you have been doing.

If you see a position that is way off, check the time of that position and find that one in the positions.txt file. The last column should tell you the accuracy in meters.

If that number is smaller of the minimum accuracy that you are allowing in your TrackMe settings, there's nothing wrong with the app, because that's the information is being sent from the phone.

If the number is bigger than what you have in your minimum accuracy settings, then TrackMe is not discarding that position correctly, so you can send me that file to take a look.
