pcjltd, are you posting the prgram on here or in ftp site, I cant see it yet and am looking forward to trying it out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cgrillo:
Uploading GPS info

Well I've had no code from people who said they'd send some for me to look at, so I have written one myself - a learning curve as I'm not too proficient in VB.net.

Anyway,

Within a couple of days I'll have a program to run on WM2003SE that will automatically check all com ports for a GPS device and read it.

It displays Date Time/Lat/Long.

It will send this info to an ASP page that will log the user id, Time Date and Lat / Long (at a user specified interval). It doesn't send too much data to the site (approx 50 bytes) as traffic volume is what most of us are charged on.

The positions will be stoired in a database on the web site.

there will also be an ASP page for the user to log in to (user id that is used in the program and a password) so that they can see their logs.

The resulting pages will have shortcuts to whatever in-line mapping sites that I can find and use (Suggestions here would be useful :D )

I'll be using it anyway - so the rest of you may as well take advantage of that... or shoudl I say - my Wife will be using it !!

IF anyone would like to test it please let e know (Pls PM me as well as replying)

It is a few days off at the moment, but should be ready by this weekend - time and life permitting :D

Once I have screenshots, I will post links to them - or put them here!

That's IF anyone is interested :wink: Let me know if you are.

Also,pls let me know what devices you have and what OS... as I'll try to test it on all the OS's available to me (real and emulation).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruisin-thru:
Count me in and good luck with the venture. I am still interested in pjcltd and his program also, dont know what happened to the program that was to be posted. :?:

p.s. Will it work on standard WM2003.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cgrillo:

Will it work on WM2003 ???

I certainly hope so, I will be testing it via Visual Studio :? on the emulator for this OS
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Yorch:
what about that cellID tracking program that tracks your positions via cell towers, there is something like that for the C500, and I think there was something like it for the XDA, although is still buggy as hell.

I have seen in the Phonealarm program an option where it shows you the cellID and you can change profiles depending on location, and thei MY|BLOG program, that does exactly that, so it IS possible.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cruisin-thru:
Cellid is useful but it isnt very precise for tracking unfortunately.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Yorch:
Oh, I see, but It will be cool still, if this program would use those two technologies, to try to track yourself. i.e. when you don't have your GPS running, it uses this CellID to track you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pjcltd:
Hi All

very sorry for not post the program / code i am working for a hotel in london at the moment i will be back in the office on monday i will then post a 15 day trial of our program.

Unfortunately life, work and scuba diving :D :D has got in the way of me doing my stuff, so it's a case of waiting for PJCLTD to show us his stuff !!! :D

I'm also going on hols end of the week and I don't think the "trouble & strife" will appreciate me taking my laptop. :( , so it will be a couple of weeks before I get anything at all done

GPS positioning

I've managed to get a little program together and it now uploads the position and your "userid" to a server via GPRS (or whatever internet connection the PPC has) , and the server stores it.

I now need help to find any web pages that will display maps given parameters of the locationm that way I can code my "retrieval" page to automatically display the page.. if more than 1 location can be displayed then it would be ideal as it could show progress....

I have tried multimap (UK), but that's not too hot as it doesn't show the exact location, just shows the area around the selected co-ordinates.

Google Maps

Cool :D - at least someone cares!

Google Maps it will be - if I can get it working as I'd like then it's gonna look great! - if not - bummer!

I'm hopefully going to be logging my 60 mle journey from work - home (every minute) tonight and will then get the web pages sorted so that it will display my route and progress.

I've also just got a beta copy of Visual Studio 2005 and may re-write my app as the GPS/Comm DLL's I found on the net don't seem too stable in my implementation).

I will post updates as they come...

EDITED:-

I now have google maps working on a sample set of data, check out this link to show the last 10 minutes of my journey home (after having removed the last few entries!)

www.grillo.biz/position/Show.asp

I think it will oly show 10 pushpins.

Please let me know what you think.

Future pages will have an option to show positions for a given date/time and up to 10 previous locations to that, along with an input for the users details.

As for how much data it pushed over GPRS, on 26 updates, it used about 52K (that's what the GPRS monitor tells me anyway)

BUT Visual Studio 2005 has knackered my PC so a complete rebuild may be necessary - and it won't be quick !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cgrillo:
GPS Uploading

Ok, I now have a stable application and web site to get this up and running.

I decided to re-write it on a different language completely.

The web pages are still in ASP against an Access database.

For info, it updates the web in realtime, so your position can be seen immediately (at user chosen refresh intervals).

I work in London and if thers's an "incident" and I don't know about it, then my wife can see if I'm "safe".... plus I do a lot of driving and she can easily see if I'm stuck in traffic - so will be late home for tea!

The app will be available via a link on http://www.grillo.biz/position/ later this week.

There will be one CAB for the run time and one for the application.

I have to manually set users up in the database before positions will be stored. This way I can ensure people use unique names.

That link is also the one to see where you've been.

Please look at the page above as it does include some samples.

If you like it and have ideas for change, I am open to suggestions.

If you have any questions, PM me, post on here or email me gps@grillo.co.uk

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cgrillo:
GPRS position uploading

The data upload per "send" is very little indeed.

The length of the url it posts to (with all the position data) is about 50 bytes and very little is sent back from the asp page

(after all I dont want to waste my own monthly allocation of 1/2 Mb !- and it was initially concieved as something for myself to use regularly)

I now use it on the train on the way home, and my wife checks the progress to see if there are any delays... as there regularly are!

I'll monitor my usage over a number of uploads and report back the usage.

This is a 30 day test of my program

you can look at all the screens and play with it as much as you like

but it will not upload to any website as i dont have that side of the system working yet.

The position is sent by SMS at the moment back to my PC at Work (this will not work unless you ask me for the password to unlock the system)

Have a look at it and let me know what you think.

I now want to upload the Longitude and Latitude to a webserver/MySQL database which i'll then link in with google maps.

There is a free client/server package for personal use using Google Earth and Google maps. The dev still offers trial accounts on the test server too, if you want to try it.

Ox
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] smsttw:
Tnx, Ox.

Nice tracking solution for the PDA. Looks like the free version is a way to drum up business for the commercial version. The only difference I can see is that the commercial version uses MapPoint 2004. Are you the developer? Does it run on winXP pro IIS , or do you need Windows server 2003?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oxcarz:
Yes, I am the dev. WIth the commercial version you get route maps, address lookups, and all the data is archived in .csv format for use in Excel. It's also very fast because the maps come from your own server.

FOr personal use, I would stick to the free version. Google Earth is really amazing and probably all you need.

Holding down the power button long enough like 30 seconds should power off the phone. Maybe try to hold the Vol down button too like your entering the recovery. that might trick it to power off or reboot.

I got it in recovery now but im not sure what to do now.

Download a Rom you want.

Then connect your phone to your computer while in bootloader, click sideload Rom from the tool you downloaded, then select your Rom. Profit.

You may need to click install HTC drivers from the tool as well if your phone isn't recognized by the computer.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
My point is this guy is talking about ditching the phone for another and I gave him a simple easy solution to his problem that is essentially one click. And you think someone who is considering getting a new phone over a wiped sd card is interested in taking the time to learn ADB?

All you have to do is Google 'how to sideload,' to find that all you have to type is 'adb sideload rom.zip'

It is very simple.

People are so hard headed, yeah I'm wrong OP download ADB, update it, start learning ADB, connect your phone in bootloader and ADB sideload your Rom of choice. Because that will be much easier than clicking one button......
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] :
I do not understand how typing a three-word command is any easier than moving your mouse and clicking a button. I did not say that you were incorrect, I am trying to expound upon my point. Neither one is more difficult, because you don't have to know anything to type three words into a command-line.

Regardless, it doesn't matter, because either one works.

BTW, both TWRP and CWM have sideload options that tell you how to sideload from the Command Prompt/Terminal.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Konfuzion:
Like I said, I'm wrong. Go the ADB route.
