Hi Luis,

just to give you a feedback, after your update. I am at home most time, so I have not tracked longer routes at the moment, but two short tracks through our village look very good since the update (same URL). It´s a little bit strange, if you only added the debug-option, but however, if positioning works now everything is fine and I can use it for our trip :)

I will do further test the next days, maybe with changes to mobile data switch on/off on the phone (since I do not have unlimeted data transfer), but as long as GPS is available (outside of buildings etc.) I do not assume any effects to positioning accuracy.

If I recognize similar positioning errors as I stated in my first post, I will give you feedback just to have a chance to find the root cause.

Thnaks a lot so far and as already said above, greate app you developed!

Regards,

Iq512
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I have been thinking about your issue and I looked further in my code. I realized that in the rare case the position doesn't include accuracy information, this position will still be accepted.

I'm wondering that maybe this was your case. It's very strange that this happened, but maybe that's the issue you are having sometimes. I made a fix and I just released the new version.

Please give it a try when you have a chance and hopefully you won't see that problem again!

Regards,

Luis

Hi Luis!

Saludos desde El Salvador

Thanks for this app, its amazing very helpfull.

I have an issue about the export procedure, I have some routes with pictures and comments, but, when I export to kml format (from the webserver), the photos and comments don't appear on Google Earth. I do something wrong?

Regards

Carlos

¡Hola Carlos!

Yes, you are right. When you export from your phone to the server, everything is included (images, too)

However if you export to KML/GPX only positions and comments are included.

I will probably add that feature one day... but not sure when. :)

Edit: I just realized that you export from the webserver. I didn't write the web viewer, but I think it's the same. Only positions and comments are exported.

Regards,

Luis

TrackMeViewer Update to Version 3.1

As of now, via GitHub and on Luis' TrackMe Server, users can download for own use or access via Browser the

TrackMeViewer v 3.1​

The new features in this version include:

1. Support for a wide range of publicly available tile (=map) providers (in addition to the already available Google Maps)

(some require an API or Access Key - many are totally free - including satellite views)

2. Support for Web Servers running with php v 7.x

3. Support for storing you private setting via Cookies

4. Support for Web Server ports other than 80

5. Get rid of php warnings in Web Server logs

The database layout has not changed from V2.0 and therefore V3.1 is backward compatible with your current MySQL database/tables.

(Btw. Version 3.0 was never released)

Please have fun and report problems in https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477394
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks so much for your cooperation with the TrackMe viewer, OpitZle!

If you guys are using your own server, I recommend you to update to this new version. It's really great.

The official version running on my server is now using this update, too.

[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
NEWS

Google has changed some policies and it's preventing the app to be updated. I've been trying to find out during the last few days what is causing the rejection.

That's something they always do and the last thing they try is to help the developers to find those issues! :( I'll keep you guys updated.

I also recently updated my code from Eclipse to Android Studio (yay!!) Lot of work but now it's using the most popular IDE and latest libraries. That will make development so much faster

and fluid. As soon as my update gets approved I plan to keep adding new features.

On the other hand, user OpitZle has been working on the web viewer. He has been doing an awesome job

by adding a lot more of info to be displayed and new features. He will be updating the repository on github soon with the new update.

I will also be updating the official server on my web.

Here is the screenshot of the new version of the web viewer (check the cool graph at the bottom!!)

[IMG="New web viewer"]https://i.imgur.com/dbhCZeM.png[/IMG]
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update!

* Online and Offline maps with automatic caching. You can select from more than 15 different map providers (more to come!)

Click on Map Type from the map screen to use this feature.

* TrackMe updated from Eclipse to Android Studio. Now using latest libraries and Android Q.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I ran into some compatibility issues with older devices so I had to rollback temporarily the latest version that includes offline mapping.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update 6.1.0

* Search markers tool. Now you can do customized searches for markers (positions). This will allow refined searches across your routes and markers not associated with routes. You can access this tool from the menu button->Search Markers.

* Offline maps optimizations.

*Ads on main screen have been removed.

*TrackMe is compatible with older devices (at least Jelly Bean, Version 16)

Thanks for your support over the years. Please leave a review on Google Play if you like TrackMe. That will help the app to be more popular and me more motivated to keep adding new features :)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update 6.1.1

* Routes are displayed much faster when showing on the map for the first time.

* Now you can delete markers from the Search Markers tool.

* Fixes for Offline maps with older devices.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I have updated the Official TrackMe Web Viewer with the new version 3.5 provided by OpitZle (Thanks so much!!!!)

Github has also been updated with the latest build for people using their servers.

The v3.5 is a major rework of the TrackMeViewer with many features and function enhancements:

For users:

o Let the user allow to select the colour for the trip line

o Use specified Date and Time formats from config.php in all displays

o Switched to a less complex date and time picker for start and end date/time way point filtering

o Let the user allow to suppress the position markers, if the trip recording provides to many or too dense positions

o Remember last trip seen by the user

o Let the user allow to group trips by choosing proper naming (<groupname>:<tripname>) and display groups of trips together ("[Any]")

o Let the user allow to delete one single Marker Point (position) of a trip from the database

o Show detailed trip data to the side of the map (resizeable). Things such as: max speed, max altitude, min altitude, descent ascent percentage, moving time, full trip time, etc

o Let the user allow to scroll through each point of a trip (backward/forward) from the details pop-up

o Show the latitude and longitude of the Marker Points in the details pop-up in different notations (e.g. 48.86648N, 9°01'30.4"E, 9°5.01304'W)

o Store user options settings in cookies and ask for allow or deny

o Issue a warning once a day, when a user modifies a trip, that it will be overwritten with a resynch from the TrackMe App

o Add a warning when user selects "[Any]" trips

o Changed "Display Options Show/Hide" check box to toggle option settings and make them to work immediately

For Web App owner:

o Let the Web App owner to allow to run Apache2 Web Server on any port (not only 80) or path.

o Let the Web App owner to specify the Web Page title in the config.php

For maintainer:

o Removed no longer necessary "None" trip selection

o Got rid of extra " ... = urldecode($_GET ...". Superglobal $_GET is already decoded

o Consequently and everywhere use PDO for all database access with bound parameters to prohibit data injection

o Got rid of "UNDEFINED INDEX <xyz>" notices issued by php and saved in Apache log file

o Restructured and reformatted code for better readability and maintenance

[Android Apps and Games] DavidAQ:
Hi Luis, I am a traveller and I would like to update my website with my location once a day. I use TrackMe - it uploads my location when I start my phone. Is there a way to once a day to start the app upload location and stop the app? David
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi David.

Do you turn off your phone at night? If not, I think that if you turn on "Enable Timed Recording", and then set "Frequency" to 1 Day, and "Duration" to 1 minute, it could achieve what you need.

If you turn it off, maybe you need to enable "Auto Start", but I'm not totally sure it will work well when "Enable Timed Recording" is checked.

Let me know how it goes, and if it doesn't work, I'll do some testing myself.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update 6.1.4

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR PEOPLE USING MY FREE SERVER

I have migrated my server to a new one because monthly costs were going too high.

Unfortunately migrating the existing routes for all the users would take me too long and too much work, because it needs to be done in batches. There are millions of records.

I have a backup and I may do the migration in the future if there is enough interest.

Meanwhile, if you want to access your routes online, you will need to upload them again from the TrackMe app. Sorry about that!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Something I get asked very often is how to track the position of another phone. It used to be very easy when Google allowed SMS messages to be received by the app, but they disallowed that. Now you have 2 options to get

something kind of similar.

Let's suppose your wife wants to track where you are located in realtime. You have 2 options:

1. Cloud Sharing (you need to install the app on both phones)

On your phone: Click on cloud icon at the bottom.

You can change the name that will appear by going to Settings->Cloud Sharing->Display Name.

On her phone: Click on the Map icon at the bottom, and at the top right menu enable "Show cloud people".

Your position will be displayed and updated automatically on the map.

2. Syncing your data with a TrackMe Server (you only need the app on your phone)

On your phone: Enable "Sync my positions" in Settings->TrackMe Server Settings->Sync my positions. You also need to enter a username and password.

Now your wife can go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme from a browser, enter that username and password and enable "Live Tracking On/Off" to see your current position. You need to start recording on the TrackMe app for all this to work.

Keep in mind that Cloud Sharing is less accurate. Syncing with a TrackMe server will allow you as much accuracy as you need, by adjusting the GPS, WiFi, QuickFix, Minimum Accuracy/Distance/Time values in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] Mobilelearner:
Track me work on router having sim card?

This tool works worldwide or region specific. Like Asia Pacific, USA and Europe.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I haven't tried but it will probably be compatible. TrackMe can work on older devices running Jelly Bean (SDK 16)

And yes, it's available worldwide.
[Android Apps and Games] klisza1993:
How can i be sure that all data are stored on my devices ? Is this app meant go be as" decentralized " or some of all tracking data are sdnd to some bogus servers?;)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I made this app for myself more than 10 years ago. I decided to share it and then expand it because people really liked it. Believe me, I have no interest in your data. If you decide to sync your data with my server for remote access, then it will be stored there, for your personal use, but you don't need to do that. You can actually use the app on airplane mode. If you are still concerned, I'm sure you can find other apps that do something similar. By the way, no matter what you do with your phone, you should know all your location is constantly tracked by Google and your phone provider.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update 6.5.0!

New:

* TrackMe no longer needs to access location in the background to work properly! The special permission has been removed.

* Google Billing library updated to 3.0.0

* Other fixes.

By the way, I'm working on a new feature that will let you assign tags to your routes. Later you could use those tags to do searches. This app has been out since 2007 and I have hundreds of routes stored! This will make much easier to look for specific routes.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New update 6.5.1

hey guys, I noticed there are now many users who are using TrackMe on Android 11.

I still don't have an Android 11, so I haven't been able to test it on a real device.

If any of you is using it on 11, could you please let me know if you found any issues? Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Hey @_LEM_ ,

I use Android 11 and use it for a long time now and did't find any bug.

Hello!

After uploading trip to trackme server (http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/) I cannot delete it.

Clicking on button "Delete Trip" generate error "Operation failed. Result from request to server: Result 3".

There is no problem for me, but I do not want to litter server with insignificant data.

May be someone got similar issue?
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi everybody...

I'm still around, in case someone was worried about me ;)

Sorry for the lack of updates. A lot of things going on for the last year and a half while also working on a new game.

I'm currently updating TrackMe to support Android 13 Tiramisu phones. Google has changed lots of things again and it requires big changes on my side as well. Good thing is that TrackMe will still be compatible for super old phones as far as Android 4.1 Jelly Bean which are now more than 10 years old.

I plan to release it either next week or the next one. Stay tuned!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New Update 6.6!

TrackMe now supports newest Android 13 Tiramisu devices (Still compatible with old Android 4.1 JellyBean devices)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:

1.1.0

New: App can now run as a foreground service when tracking. This will reduce the changes for the OS to kill it in low memory conditions.

New: Automatic export.

New: Connection timeout is now customizable.

Available on the marketplace.
[Android Apps and Games] martinr63:
I've tested it, running 24 hours without being killed

set to 10 seconds. The log says I need 3-7 Seconds for uploading.

I would like an option for saving raw NMEA data.

Regards Martin
[Android Apps and Games] Tigggger:
New version is working perfect for me, been up and running non stop since you posted that test version.

Would it be possible to have an 'Off' setting for the minimum distance, most of the time it's good that it only sends when you have moved, but there are occasions when I could do with it sending regardless so people can see it's a current live position rather than one and few hours old and wondering if I'm still there or is the tracker off.

As I use mine as a live tracker rather than a trip reporter the program is often up for weeks at a time and the trips get massive. An option to start a new trip after a certain amount of time or number of points would be good

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Why not just poke the + button once a day? :)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's great. Thanks for the feedback.

I will add an option for exporting to NMEA. However I have to check this. I'm not sure if the location services provide this.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It makes sense the problem is this will cause to have tons of pushpins in the same location. Maybe I could have a way of updating the latest position with a new date if the distance is very small.

I thought about that too. I will add it to the to-do list.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
By the way, last weekend I was working on SMS tracking. It looks very nice so far!

Basically you just need to send a txt message from any phone with the text !!start and !!stop to track.

Another good thing is you don't need to have TrackMe running for this to work.

I'm still testing it. I will release it later this week.
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Cool, but beware of third party or even manufactor-specific SMS apps. :D
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available: SMS tracking. Use text messages to start and stop tracking from any phones!
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Crap, and blocks it from Wifi-only tablets. I really hate the way the market does filtering based on capabilities. The new SMS permission in the manifest did this. Not sure how to get around it, except SMS being a separate app that plugs into TrackMe.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
no way...really? I didn't know that.

What about if you install the APK manually? Would that work?
[Android Apps and Games] Tigggger:
Doesn't work for me, but then it never has with other programs that have tried to do the same thing. (I use GoSMS which I presume is what's interfering with it)

Would be a nice feature to have but the current release is rock solid, been on for 10 days now and still working fine so I'm happy :)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
When I setup the sms receiver I need to assign a priority (a number) with it.

Maybe GoSMS has a higher number and got the message first. I can try to increase that number and give you that version to test. Would you like to try that?
[Android Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yeah sideloading is fine, at least in cases like this. Only time I've seen it be a problem is say a device does not have a GPS and the app tries to access the GPS (crash), same with Camera. But SMS I'd think it's just listening for intents?

I can check this later to make sure it's still functional. But yeah, wanted to let you know that the market does some filtering in that regard, and not sure if there's anything (besides taking something out of the manifest) that can be done on the developers end.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
For SMS I basically register a broadcast receiver. As you said if I remove the entry from the manifest will probably show up there....damn it...I don't really want to have different versions depending on the device. I wish there was another way.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
By the way, I will install GoSMS to test this. I hope I can find a way to make TrackMe faster than GoSMS to catch the text messages :)
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just found this:

TrackMe's is set to 1000 (the maximum recommended value)

Even if I set it to 2147483647 it will not work unless you install TrackMe first.

I read many people complaining about GoSMS' invasive strategy for this matter.

One thing I can do is to check if there are other apps running in the system listening for sms messages with a higher priority than TrackMe and warn the user about that.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just tried to change TrackMe's priority to 2147483647. Then I installed GoSMS.

I got the message with both applications. So it seems it's not really which one was installed first. It's a matter of priority.

The next version will have the priority set to 2147483647. I will also notify the user when they enable tracking if there are other apps that could interfere.
[Android Apps and Games] Tigggger:
Did it still activate when you had both loaded ?

PS Is there no 'angle' uploaded in the current version all my values appear to be NULL and can't see it in the log file.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, with this change that I just did it will work on TrackMe but you will also get the text message on gosms. I don't think there is anything else I can do about it.

Yeah...I'm not uploading the angle yet. Probably next week.
[Android Apps and Games] thafath:
Thank you very much. One of the app I missed when switched from windows mobile to android. Used this from first days. Great job.

Thanks! Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this new version!
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
By the way, something strange started happening this evening...

When I watch my trips from the web viewer I only see the start and end pushpin. Nothing in between! I can see a track line though.

Does this happen to you guys?

I haven't changed anything on the server, so either Google changed something or my web host.
[Android Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry to give you an update so soon, but an user reported a problem that I had to fix right away:

1.3.1

Fixed: Fixed some issues storing/uploading data when regional settings use a comma instead of a dot.
