You should uncheck the options to use cell id when a gps fix is not available.

Cell ID tracking ALWAYS needs an internet connection because that's the only way to convert that to a latitude and longitude.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oliver79:
this is clear.

no cell id, so no need to go online to find lat and long.

so i uncheck everything but gps.

i tracked 1 position. and when i stop the track trackme pop up says:

offline positions are stored - upload now?

are those "old-cell id" positions? or is it my only position?

if i go with "no update", i cant create the kml.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That should be your new tracked position.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oliver79:
with cell id it will always upload, without cell - just with gps too!

that's what i didn't get. but ok.

and i understand now:

i was worried what happend to the old positions that get stored, but not updatet. i thougt i might loose them when i track a new route. but i tried, make a new route. and after all i updatet. result: 2 new route to export/save.

that's what i wanted.

works perfectly.

thanks for your patience and your help!!! :)

its not really clear to me, why an udate is necessary when i unchecked all cell-id options. but that doesn't matter. (update is to take cell-id info and make them latitude and longitude!? but when i got just 1 gps position. and there are no cell-positions stored, why update?). that might be the reason why i work in a gym.. and you do such great programming work.

never touch a running system - never ask too much. it works, that counts :)

thank you so much..

please keep doing this here.

best regards from germany
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you are using the program in offline mode, you won't be able to use this data until you upload it. That's why you get that message asking if you want to upload.

lol... thanks man

Enjoy the program!

Had an interesting this happen on a recent road trip, my distance is "nan miles". Is it because the distance was to long or maybe an error in the DB?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys,

sorry for the spam. I just wrote a new tool called CatchMe. This tool allows you to communicate mobile devices using your GPS and SMS messsages with no internet connection. You will be able to know how far is another phone/target and what direction you need to follow to reach it.

I see that all the time. If you're using your own server, you can fix it in the index.php:

// Function to calculate distance between points
function distance($lat1, $lon1, $lat2, $lon2, $unit)
{
[B] if ($lat1 == $lat2 && $lon1 = $lon2) { return 0; }[/B]
$theta = $lon1 - $lon2;
$dist = sin(deg2rad($lat1)) * sin(deg2rad($lat2)) + cos(deg2rad($lat1)) * cos(deg2$
$dist = acos($dist);

Crap. I just noticed a mistake I made in the code. I haven't seen any problems out of it, but it's probably a good idea to fix it. Sorry about not noticing it earlier for everyone who made updates, especially Staryon updating the server.zip.

I originally had if ($lat1 == $lat2 && $lon1 = $lon2 which is nonsense, both should be == as below.

Did you install SQL Server on your PDA? It seems that is missing.

If you did, check the FAQ because there are a few possible solutions there.

time stamp in Google Earth

Hi, first of all: great app!

One thing I noticed, when watching a track in Google Earth, the icons display the correct time stamp, but the slider in Google Earth displays September 12, 2007

I search this thread and found some references to this error but no solution.

Any news on this or how to prevent it?

thanks in advance,

JW
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, I'll fix that later today.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] suandy:
Hi,

first I want to thank you for this great application :)

I have a suggestion, too.

Schouldn't it be possible to transfer the coordinates via short messages to a server which initiates HTTP notifications which can then be logged and shown on a map?

I noticed you released a new application, Catch Me, I think the principle would be basically the same except for sending the messages to a server instead to a cell phone. I already have an in-bound gateway which delivers the parameters sender, time and text.

The question is how to get your (or any other server) to process this notifications and how the text messages are designed.

Regards & thanks in advance!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rctneil:
Hello,

I am testing out this app ready for tracking me around California in August.

I ahve set several trips up and people can see google maps moving automatically os the live tracking works and the black line is drawn which is great, BUT, when i start a new trip, the previous one is removed from google earth and the new one is shown.

How can I store all the trips so I can view them all when I get home and also allow other people to view different trips?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Please check here (3rd item)

http://luisespinosa.com/trackme_eng.html#S5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rctneil:
So, for each trip I wnat to look at, I need to export? cos google maps seems to only show one at a time? also it in the left hand sidebar it shows EVERY point of the trip as No Name, Is there anyway to just show each TRIP as a point so a user can just double clikc on a trip name to view that 1 trip instaed of showing EVERY point for EVERY trip. Showing all the points seems to make gogole earth slow down and sometimes even crash!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It ended up being a little bit more complicated than I expected and I cannot spend too much time on this right now.

I'll add it to the to-do list.

Sorry about that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you want to export all your trips you can choose <Any> but that's not something really recommended to do because it will give you too many points.

You can select <Any> if you want to see all your trips but again, I wouldn't recommend this option.

If you have any Comments associated for a position, that label will be replaced with that comment.

No.

Why do you need to show always all your trips in GE or GM?

That would kill GE and GM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jwb:
No problem, we'll survive for another day with out the correct slider...just kidding..keep up the good work!

An other question: I noticed you use the GPS com port (com4) in my case instead of the Windows GPS Intermediate Driver. (GPD0). Any particular reason?

JW
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
There is one. I didn't know anything about that until I already finished the program! Otherwise I would have added support for this from the beginning. I need to make some research on that to see how difficult is to add it now. Unfortunately lately I haven't had any spare time to work on TrackMe so I'm not sure when I'll be able to do that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobsTV:
I'm back with another google viewer question.

What determines a Trip start and end point?

Time, Distance, points, stopping or starting the app, other?

Point is, if you started a trip, how long in time and or distance can that one trip last (so you can view in google)?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Each position has a 'Date Occurred' associated. That field is used to determine when the trip started and ended.

On the other hand there is not really a limit of how long a trip can last.

Cheers

TrackMe on treo 800W

Hi, if you still have the same problem, try gpsgate, it workes for me. GpsGate v2.6 build 326 for Pocket PC / Windows Mobile (1.5 MB) http://franson.com/gpsgate/download.asp . I had the same problem, also with Treo 800w. What it does it assignes gps hardware port to virtual com port which TrackMe can see, on treo 800w gps manager gives you only two com ports com0 and com7 and gpd form 1 to 9 but TrackMe does not recognize any of them (google maps for example works). Using gpsgate I created com4 and TrackMe recognized it immediatelly. One downside is that gpsgate is not free, it costs US$19.95. Maybe somebody knows freeware working solution.

staryon - thank you for TrackMe !, and everyone who was involved
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adebilloez:
OK, I made some progress by updatting manually config.php. But now always get "You need to specify a username and password for the user".

I already specified a user password (but seems not dynamicly created?)

What do this message mean on the PPC ?

ps : seems better on Wifi GPRS always same error message.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
See if this works for your web server.

1. Create a text file and in it put this in and save it:

register_globals = 1

2. Now re-name the file to php.ini

3. Upload it to the folder where you have the trackme web files.

4. Try again to see if you do not get that username/password error.

What this file does (if you web server/hosting site allows) is to change the php settings and will allow globals in that one folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adebilloez:
Thanks for the help.

I have uploaded a php.ini with your "register" in it. But nothing change, still getting this user/password error...btw in the mean time I create manually the user in MySQL db but doesn't help...

Some additional info:

I'm using a provider that use Plesk on a Windows 2003 with PHP extension.

In the root, I only do redirection with html file. Under this root I have a sub site that contain Joomla (PHP portal) and another sub folder under the root : trackme.

I give full control to IIS functionnal user on the "trackme" folder.

Unfortunatly I'm not familiar with PHP...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
ah, then that php.ini file will not help you. I believe the reason it is not working is because there is a var in register.php that upload.php needs and the var was not declared (just guessing). So, with my hosting server (apache/php/linux) that php.ini file allows vars to work between files that have not been declared (however using your web site in that way is not very safe). I may not have that explained correctly (someone set me straight please).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] warmkiwi99:
Sorry to interrupt this technical thread but since I installed the 14/11 version, i can't see new trips on google maps. I exported gps positions today from remote location (your server) to a remote file (also on your server I guess).

When I locate http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/<username>.kml I just see trips from 13/11 i.e. not today's

OK in Google Earth

Ignore this. Tried again with a new trip and it worked fine
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adebilloez:
I understand a little bit more that "not registered" variable seems not global between php page. I'm guessing that global registered could be "prohibed" somewhere on my hosting solution...

I just checked more on this setting and discovered that Joomla require it to off and it's the case for me...According your memo I need to have it On (but not really secure if I understand)

SO I can resume my case like this:

Root (only html for redirecting)

\- Joomla web site (Global register off, i don't know where is defined)

\- Trackme (global register seems off and not possible to put ON by php.ini)

Wait and see future feedback ...Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Yes, I believe you are understanding correctly. However, other than the php.ini trick I know how to do on my Hosting Site, I am not sure how I can help you.

Perhaps staryon or jcleek can help (and perhaps change the php code so it never needs register_globals = 1 again).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MPIIIMan:
Wow. Still going back and forth with this register_globals crap.

Figured that would of been fixed last week when I brought it up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
A most of them have, it's just the logging in part from the PDA that does not work (the web site itself no longer needs globals).

I also believe it is between request.php and the Action=upload (which i am thinking request.php calls out to upload.php). However that is a BIG guess on my part.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Good. And what's your solution? jcleek's code is available to everybody. Feel free in modifying it to avoid that 'crap' so we can all take advantage of that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you liked it. Since you have a lot experience with other programs , are there any other features that you think that you should be there and they're not?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I've noticed that Google Maps sometimes have problems refreshing data. I don't know, maybe it's just me. The reason is because I make a modification in my kml file, open it with GE and everything is ok, however I open it later with GM and still shows my old data.

The thing is If I rename the KML file, and load it again with GM, it works fine... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
odie3, what variable do you think it is?

This is my latest upload.php file:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
I am not really sure, while I dabble in php/MySQL code I am no coder at all. Currently my hosting is down to some issue at the data center so I can not really tweak stuff ATM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
BTW, I just download your upload.php (which is different than what I got with the site download zip)

I have a big concern with your new Get Vars:

Why use $_GET?

Note: When using the $_GET variable all variable names and values are displayed in the URL. So this method should not be used when sending passwords or other sensitive information! However, because the variables are displayed in the URL, it is possible to bookmark the page. This can be useful in some cases.

Note: The HTTP GET method is not suitable on large variable values; the value cannot exceed 100 characters.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I was following MPIIIMan's advice. Since he said he had a lot PHP experience (which I'm not) I thought that was the best solution.

I'll be glad in changing it if you think it's not safe.

By the way, that file has not been released yet. It's for the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MPIIIMan:
Sorry stayron, didn't think you updated your php files with the proper code.

About the GET method. I see this as the only solution due to how the application is passing the variables back to the server.

What about just having the application do the sql statements right from the application instead of calling a URL?

It would be more secure me thinks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adebilloez:
Unfortunatly, this upload.php doesn't help but I just noticed you spoke about register.php ? I don't have this file!

I just have : config export index request upload.

And get "You need to specify username and password" in the log of TrackMe when it try to update .

EDIT:

Little progress

I have now the same symptom with my GPRS connection no more assembly error during upload (just username/password issue)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's not possible. Most of web hostings doesn't allow direct access to the mysql database from third party applications.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MPIIIMan:
Doh, you are right. Stupid me.

I'm not familiar with VB or C++ (not sure what you used to write this)

So I'm not sure what other methods you could use that would be more secure from calling a URL with all the information.

Unable to upload all of a sudden

Hi there,

I'm using TrackMe (& my own server) for a while now, but today something weird happened in the 'middle' of my trip:

TrackMe doesn't upload (offline data) anymore (my interval is 600 sec.) and the debug message is

"In order to connect to this server you need to update your client"

But I didn't change anything for a while now and everything was working fine :cool:

My client version is 5.3.8.138
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah... that's pretty weird. Are you sure you didn't change anything in your server files?

Is still happening or it was only for a moment?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thorig:
the only thing I've changed so far, is the way how map icons are being displayed. and that's working fine so far :)

but the 'index.php' shouldn't be involved in the upload process, right?

and as I've already stated: this happened today, during my bike tour. the first half (or so) was uploaded perfectly, the second half didn't because of the error message :cool:

I've soft-reset my pda already - no change :(

maybe there's something messed up in the stored 'offline data'?

is there a way to empty/delete/flush the 'waiting' offline data?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You can rename local.sdf in the TrackMe installation folder if you think the local data is hosed.

Can you look at the server logs and see what's being uploaded? Look for &db=X, I think 8 is the appropriate number for the database schema.

I found the problem. It seems that the PHP server doesn't like comments or trip names with the character #

You had a comment that included that character.

I have made a small change in TrackMe (temporary until I come up with something more efficient) that replaces that character.

If that data is important for you I can try to clean it myself so you can upload it.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thorig:
O.K. thanks for clearing this one up. I will try to omit this 'bad character' for the time being ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] QuiQNeZZ:
Ok, i'm sure this has been asked a thousand times in the HUGE thread and I just can't stand to try and read through all 440 pages of this thread.

For one, I can't seem to find the offline mode as shown in the pics on your site and I believe on the first page of this thread. Is that an older version? Am I to assume now that every trip is saved locally on your phone somewhere (defaulting to an offline mode)and I have the options to have it saved just on my phone for later uploading, and if so, where on the phone are they located?? And in order to get "Live/realtime" tracking we need to specify that in the app?

When we export a trip file it's always listed as our username.kml? So each time we upload to your server we're overwriting that one file? We can't have multiple trips saved on there at a time?

The info listed on your website seems a little outdated as the screen shots do not look like the latest version that I just downloaded. It'd be nice to get that updated with more info on what each feature does and how to use it.

Thanks for your great app, i'm planning to use it on my bike rides soon and wanted something that I could save the info locally in order to save on battery life. And I love the fact that you can also turn the screen off.
