I've posted this on the suggestions forum at WIMP;

"May not be be possible but would be great to have a configuration option that would allow the incoming text message to launch the link using google maps (if it is installed) rather than just being passed to pocket IE (or opera).

Many people have multiple phones and would want to check the location of their lost phone as soon as possible - probably using another internet/java enabled mobile or PDA. Since the text message is going to be received on a mobile or PDA, it would be great to be able to view the location of your lost device using the very smart google maps for mobile."

Any thoughts?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Frankyg:
update to my post above;

The text message I received was as follows;

Lat: 55°54.934740'N

Lon: 4°24.907324'W

Speed: 0 MPH

Sats: 6

http://maps.google.com/maps?q=55.915579,-4.41512206666667+(PHONE+LOCATION)&t=h&z=19

I opened up Google Maps on my TyTN II and opened the 'Find location' option. From the link provided, I copied '55.915579,-4.41512206666667' pasted it into the search box. Google maps mobile returned the exact location, with an arrow pointing to the exact phone location. :)

Now if the GPS location could be passed straight to Google maps - that would be very nice!

Have a look at this..... http://www.reperion.com/

Downloaded the software, registered an account and now my handset can be tracked by anyone with a pc and access to my account.

Not quite the same as wimping but cool never the less.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
I tested my phone this morning after it was off all night. Wimped it and got a good fix and message within 1 minute, so I'm good to go.

I did however have another interesting observation last night. I was testing the Kaiser with Slingbox Mobile. Sometimes I'll turn off the Phone and BT Radios, fire up WiFi, use a wired headset, turn the display very dim and use SlingMobile via wireless home LAN to stream and watch TV, access my ReplayTV to catch up on a few shows in bed. My Hermes would run about 4 hours this way so I thought I'd try Kaiser out.

Anyhow, the interesting part is that initially, Slingplayer could not connect and appeared to hang. I did a soft reset and when the phone woke (with it's phone radio off), I noticed that the GPS radio was ON. The phone was almost completely non responsive at this point and I had to soft reset it a few times till I guessed that maybe Wimp was up to something. I finally turned the phone radio ON and then the GPS radio went off after another reset. I finally got connected to Sling, then turned off the other radios and watched TV for almost 3 hours. Battery went from 70% to 10%.

So the question is, if the phone has it's radios OFF and is reset. When it wakes, if the radios are still Off, what does Wimp do?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JonnoB:
There are two apps that I have used that provide similar function (I think). I must say I have not yet tries WIMP yet so maybe I am missing something.

First, I have installed Mobile Justice which alerts you when a SIM card is changed and will send a text message to a number of your choosing when it is changed... for example it was stolen and a card was sent in. It can also send the current GPS location. In addition, you can send the device a text message with a keyword and request at any time, the current GPS location. You can also put a message on the device screen. I know people often cook this application into ROMs. I hope that someone does this for a future Kaiser kitchen. I learned about the new GPS features here: http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/mobile_justice_sms_your_phone.html

The other app that I have used that is kind of nifty is 3d tracking. It updates your GPS location in near real time to a website that you can use a PC to monitor. The mapping is done using Google maps. Very cool way to keep track of valuables such as your teenagers. ;-)

What other cool uses for the GPS have you found to use with your Kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] alanplum:
Ive just re-download the cab file from http://www.wimp-software.co.uk and it is different to the one I downloaded earlier.

I've re-installed it and run it and it now displays Km/h as well as MPH. The version is still 1.0 so I guess they have been doing some minor bugfixes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] y2whisper:
yeah i tried 3d tracking in the past the only downside i think is that it send the info via data connection ($$$$)

I will try out the other application you mentioned as it is freeware
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Wimp Support just doesn't sleep! They're super responsive, looks like my guess was right and a fix is in the works...

"I've managed to re-create your issue.

What WIMP is doing is detecting your IMSI (SIM Card number) and of course because the Radio is OFF it cannot, therefore assumes that someone is attempting a SIM Card change. It then fires up GPS to try and inform you of its location.

You are quite correct and WIMP should not be doing this. I have a developer as we speak trying to resolve this issue for you asap.

Please bear with us and we will have a new version to you as soon as we can.

Regards

WIMP Support"

EDIT, they fixed it and the download on their site is the new version (same v1.0 shown on site however)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] alanplum:
Not to sound too silly but whats GeoFencing?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rvdgeer:
Set up geograpical 'fences'...

If the target object crosses one of these fences it can perform an action, like letting you know the object is within, or outside the spcified area...

I don't really see the use for this in WIMP...

I don't expect that I can set a virtual trap so that I can wait for the thief to get trapped inside these fences...

Re:

I use WIMP and I have to say its an excellent program but.... Let's say my phone really does get stolen. If the person knows anything the first thing he will do is a hard reset then what?? We can't even put it in the extended rom since it doesn't have one. Let's say some how we found a way by cooking a rom and put this cab file in it, after a hard reset there will be no info like "friends #"in the program.

any ideas?

Well I was really excited to try this, I've been playing with 3D tracking, and not having much luck. I got everything setup, and had my GF try sending me the message twice.

The message you send must be in upper case.

Lower case and you receive a message, upper case and you don't, but watch the gps led turn on.

Yeah the 2nd message we tried was in upper case. Still nothing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericb:

I thought similarly, but tried it anyway with my sons sim in my old MDA Compact III phone loaded with the WIMP trial. My number was programmed as the receiving text message.

He put his sim in the old handset and turned it on.

As the phone was booting, before it had finished, my new phone received a text with my sons number and location.

Iknow it is not foolproof but still pretty damn good.

As the trial says, try it before you buy it.

I think it is pretty good.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericb:
BoostedSR20

Sorry for the obvious questions but it is easy to set it up incorrectly.

You did send the correct message didn't you?

$WIMP****

where **** is either the default number 0000 or the new one you entered.

Also, did you enter your number as the sms number in the set up?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BoostedSR20:
Yeah, sent $wimp**** then $WIMP****

If your reffering to the "friend SMS no:" I left it blank.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericb:
BoostedSR20

Try entering your own mobile number in that place and test again.

It should send the text message to your phone.

Once you are sure it works, enter your friends number in, send another text and they should get the reply.

Good Luck
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BoostedSR20:
Still nothing. Just comes thru as a regular text message. I'm guessing it has to be related to the threaded sms program.

After a clean ROM flash, I installed WIMP and tried it. I sent the message to myself, and it worked great. Couple minutes later, sent back the GPS info.

Having the ability to send an SMS message from a computer (Say pidgin using AIM protocol) is Key to me purchasing this software. As it stands now, the screen displays that a message is coming in, along with what the message says. I also have yet to receive anything back from the program either.

Could be the same thing with the threaded sms application.

Hi,

I have cooked my own ROM which includes an eval of WIMP.

How many satelites did you guys select? I chose 6, but you need to choose between either a very accurate fix ( 9 or 10 satelites ) which takes long or a fast, less accurate fix (5 or 6 ).

In my opinion it's more important that you'll get a fast fix, instead of waiting 10 minutes and get a more accurate fix.

Furthermore, my phone wakes up when I send the message, and I see my orange led flashing ( meaning that the GPS is working ), but when I click on my standby button ( sleep mode ), the gps led stops flashing and it's not getting a fix.

The response sms says: "Cannot get GPS coordinates". Btw I have an Artemis, so in my case I need to have the fix before the thief puts the device in sleep mode.
