i followed the tutorial which was well made. but im having trouble exporting the data and i keep getting a message saying invalid username and password. i have tried several. maybe you should make a small troubleshooting table

thanks

Are you using your own server or mine?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] webvan:
Having recently switched my Kaiser to the most excellent "Death v3.5 Rom", I can't seem to run TrackMe anymore, I get this message : "File or assembly name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version =3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxx',or one of its dependencies, was not found."

Any idea what's going on and how I can fix that ? Thanks !

You need to install SQL Server 3.5

You can find it in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] justpctech:
your answer is in the error message; I believe you need to install the Mobile SQLserver 3.5. Its linked in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] webvan:
Unfortunately it is already installed, maybe I need to configure it, although I don't remember having to do that with the original ROM of the Kaiser, maybe it's a 6.1 thing :-(

Port problem - MDA WM5

Hi all.

A have a problem with connection between TrackMe program and port. My device is MDA phone with Windows Mobile 5, internal GPS receiver, it works with TomTom - so everything is OK with hardware, but i can not make a connection between TrackMe and port 4... After pressing Start button on main screen in TrackMe program, device id like deaf - it is only one sollution - just restart device (reset button)....... My internal receiver can work only on port 4 but anyway i tried change port number in system driver and in the TrackMe... Unfortunetly it still doesn't work :-( Any ideas???

Best regards

Hi there,

Did you check the FAQ in the first post (first issue)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Polaris and Stealth Mode / Google 3D API

i'm not sure about this, but every now and then, trackme pops up (on my polaris, although in stealth mode) and i think, it's when i recieve a new sms... anyone else noticed this? stealth mode on my artemis seems to work without issues. (still have to use gpsgate btw to not freeze the device...)

------

has anyone tried the new google api, to show the map in googleearth-style (3d)? it seems to be only one line of code, but i don't know where to add...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I didn't know about that. I'll take a look.

I know that mcross was working on a new version of the web viewer that looked very nice, but I haven't heard from him in a long time. I don't know if he is still working on that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
staryon,

Any chance you can help with a template for me (and others in the same boat) so I can add it to my SDConfig.txt for for UC flash updating? Seems there should be some settings we can put into the XML file to configure TrackMe every time we flash again. Here lately I've flashed my phone about four times wth updates and such.

Anyway, seems you would be the one to know how to do this of anyone here. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmm... sorry but I'm not sure if I understand. What do you need exactly?

Settings are stored in the files config.dat and local.sdf

so you only need to make a backup of those files if that's what you are asking :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I was thinking there might be a way for the XML file to update TrackMe's files but I guess not. Backing up the data files seems like it'll be the best way, if I can remember to or figure out a way to automate it. :D

The UC option Sleuth cam up with is great for reloading apps and even reinstalling/configuring your email accounts. I thought there might be a way to update TrackMe like this. This post gives an example of when I had in mind. I don't know if it's possible to edit your files with something like this though. Archiving my two data files on my SD card and then having them copied over after TrackMe is installed might be my only way.

Once my configuration is set, how often do these files change? Are they dynamic or static and only change when I change a setting in on of the tools?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 450er:
cool app

thanks for writing such a cool application!! :cool: I have one dilemma though, my server runs Windows Server and MSSQL and i want to host it myself. has anybody else rewrote the server piece to work on a Windows server using ASP.NET and MSSQL? In the first 20 pages or so, Doughtcom was talking about it but i didnt see where he ever released it.

I've tried using WAMP server for windows which is an encapsulated version of apache/mysql/php however I never got it working with your application. has anybody else had any luck with hosting this on windows? if not, I'm going to try and get one of my programmer buddies to convert it for me by reading the server php files but if someone already has a code base that would help alot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Those files are updated when this happens:

1. You modify any parameters of the Configuration

2. Uploading offline data

3. Using TrackMe in local mode

4. When GeoFence is used.

and maybe others that I cannot remember right now...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, as far as I remember there were 2 persons that were working on that.

Unfortunately one day they disappeared and we never heard back from them. I don't know if they really finished the conversion and they just didn't want it to make it public.

Quick question that I don't see being answered

If I load the app on my Kaiser and hit go the screen stays on indefinately (although it dims) unless I hit the screen off button or the hardware power button. Then regardless of which application i'm in, the auto-off for the device is disabled until I close Trackme

Is this by design? or is something strange going on with my device?

Thanks

M
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, it's normal. Otherwise the GPS would turn off and TrackMe wouldn't work.

Most of the GPS applications work like that. For example TomTom doesn't even let you to power off the PDA while you are running it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madas:
could it at least be set to auto power off the screen so it device is not 'on' all the time. So the device would appear off even tho its still on in the backgrun
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yes, I thought about that a couple of times. I may add it in the future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drnibbles:
First of all thank you for such a cool app. This is what i needed as i do bush walking in Australia. However when i tried to use the plugin page on the web that you have to look at the map i get sql errors.. then after a couple of seconds a map apears but nothing else. My phone uploads correct and my account works fine

these are the errors

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/content/l/u/i/luisespinosa/html/trackme/index.php on line 681

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HarrazH:
Hey man,

First I want to thank you for such an application, its really good and stable until now :)

anyway I have a question, I'm using HTC tytn II, after I finish tracking my path, lets say from point A to point B, I load the KML file to google earth and after I choose to show bearing on the map, it reverts the path, and find the path starts from point B down to point A, am I missing something here, or did I make a wrong option?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madas:
This is how another app works on my blackberry. It makes it extremely useful because I autorun the tracker and I don't even know that it is running. Unfortunately my Kaiser is much nicer so i'd much rather use your app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, I also got that error. It's strange because I haven't modified anything on my server. Since I have written the web viewer I cannot help too much.

mcross, any ideas why is this happening?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmmm... I'll have to do some testing. Some other people already mentioned that but I haven't had that issue. I'll let you know if I find out something.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It seems that only happens with your account.

I looked at the data in the database and looks ok, but maybe I'm missing something.

If mcross sees this post I will send him your data so he will be able to debug it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys, I just discovered something.

I was going to use TrackMe with my bike today and when I clicked on Start my PDA froze.

I tried to think what I had done recently on my PDA and remembered that yesterday I installed the KaiserTweak, and enabled the option A-GPS (Assisted GPS)

When I had that enabled it froze my PDA, but if I disable it everything worked fine.

Not sure if this is a problem with Trackme, GPS issue or KaiserTweak but I think this information will help some people, so if you PDA freezes check that A-GPS is not enabled!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] police22:
Great find... I was thinking about enabling that but now I know not to.. :eek:

As another who rides a motorcycle to Sturgis, I'm looking at using TrackMe on my trip this year. I have this problem with not going in direct routes and love to create albums of my trips (http://gallery.sloanclan.org/v/Sturgis2005 or my planned trip for 2008 at http://www.sloanclan.org/Sturgis2008) and it's always so hard to go back and try to remember the actual route I take. I'm really liking what I've seen so far, and since I've just started, it seems that all the things I would want have been implemented so far. Now I just have to set up my server to receive the connection and tie it into maps.google.com.

Jim
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Yeah, this is what I mentioned earlier in the thread when I had some lock up issues with the new ROM I had put on here. It works great now that I have turned off assisted GPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] repsolblade:
Hi guys, anyone got any Ideas why I can't run the setup on my pda(Kaiser).

Downloaded file and unzipped then sent to pda, but when I tried to run set up from PDA, it opens Opera Browser and does nothing?? In fact when I'm in the trackme File, the next to setup it has the O for Opera to the left of it!

I tried moving opera to my storage card and deleted tackme then re-installed but with the same result!

Not sure if this has been asked before, I got through a lot of pages here but not all!

Any help or advice greatly apreciated.

Cheers, Andy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Shouldn't be any unzipping. Just download the .cab from the first post on you phone and then run the cab. Is that how you are doing it? Try using Pocket IE instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] repsolblade:
Sorry, I should have explained correctly! the file I downloaded from the first place to my pc then transfered-not unzipped!! Dumb ass! but wont open???

But I can see it it file explorer! I now deleted opera but still wont run cab?

Thanks for quick reply :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Try downloading the cab directly from the web site on your phone through Pocket IE rather than to the PC and transferring it. Let us know if that works for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] repsolblade:
Thanks guys... got it! Just checked using jcleek's tracker and it's working fine now! Bloody Opera I think, I deleted everything from Kaiser then rebooted then reloaded trackme and now works a treat!

I do have a question though.

How much GPRS data does this app use? (ball park figure) And, can I run other GPS apps in the background or do I have to shut it down first?

Cheers again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Not sure about how much GPRS it uses, but you can make it none if you'd choose, you just loose realtime tracking and updates for the server until you connect and upload your offline data. I wouldn't expect it to be much data though.

You can run other apps using the GPS at the same time. I use TomTom and VisualGPSce along side TrackMe all the time. I used to use Google Maps and Live Search too. No problems there. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] repsolblade:
Thanks for that, will try it tomorrow and check data usage.

I do have other questions/suggestions if they haven't already been raised.

With regard to the tracking? Is it possible to have multiple links on one map? By that I mean, could I track a number of PDA's on 1 earth screen? would it simply be a case of adding the link in google earth or jcleef's tracker?

And could this app be made to run automatically in the background without the user interface...So an employer installs it on company PDA and therefore knows where employees are. I'm thinking Fleet Tracking here! So when a PDA connects for whatever reason to GPRS it also sends trackme data. This could be a very valuable addition in determining their time onsite, in work with multiple stop situations!

Just a thought ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] webvan:
Happy to report it works on HTC Diamond !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
So it looks like there will be GPS in the new iPhone. :) I'm not sure what it'll take to get a development kit, but I can tell you that if you can get this into the iPhone system you'd stand to make decent profit out of it.

Have you thought about building an iPhone version? Looked into it at all?

strange time shift during trip

It's now the second time it happened, around the same location the time recorded suddenly jumps

Fine here ...

I would love to...

The problem is I don't have an IPhone. Maybe if I can get some help from donations.... :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Next time try to enable the Log file in TrackMe. If the problem happens again send me that file and I'll take a look.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jbgood-nl:
I assume you mean "log gps postions to a file" checkbox.

EDIT: What is the location of the logfile ??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The same folder where the program is installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jbgood-nl:
It's on, now we wait for the problem to occur ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!!

- Added option to LOCK THE DEVICE when Screen Off is clicked.

- Now you can Delete Positions and Export Positions from the Manage Trip window.

- Some icons have been reallocated.

I think the lock device feature is very useful. It took me a long time to find out how to do it but I finally got it to work. You can use that if you use TrackMe while jogging or biking.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Thanks! I'm glad you aren't abandoning it. :)

It picked up my sats quick too. Unlocking goes without a hitch too even on my hack ROM. :D Great work!

Setting up our own server for global relief projects

We are a 501(c)(3) public charity that execute humanitarian programs around the world. We are currently 100% volunteer (no paid staff).

www.partners-international.org

We are interested in developing a concept to help humanitarian organizations and first responders using the new style personal GPS system. Our problem has always been that most of the companies that make them require you to use their service to track on line with a heft annual fee.

We saw your software and want to see how we would set up a server like this and provide tracking to humanitarian organizations so that their organizations can track them (especially in hot spots).

For example, emergency responders to be able to just hit a button and the location of their problem they find searching through a natural or man-made disaster goes straight back to their HQ so help can be sent.

Another would be to place one in food or other relief convoys and see where they "really go".

Someone donated us an old server now connected to the internet and running MS Server 2003, Apache 2.2 and Tomcat.

We would need some help in how to get the server running with software and suggestions on what of the small personal trackers out there would be the best for this purpose
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
You would need a device that can communicate with the server while being remote. It could be via cell or satellite communication. If your people are regularly going into areas where infrastructure is down then satellite is really the only reliable way for you.

Many of us are using cellphones that have GPS built in (like my Tilt) but others use Pocket PC devices with an external GPS unit. Seems like a phone like the Tilt/HTC Kaiser would work well, other than not being able to connect when GSM cell service is down.

I'm not sure about the SQL you would need to have installed on your server. My web host has set up MySQL on my server. Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bosstone:
I really did search for this and could not find a answer even though it seems like it should be a common issue.

When I have my points for a trip in Google World how do I erase them? Some of my local trips end up going to the same places and it just places the points on top of eachother over and over again.

I would think there would be a way to clear all of your data and start fresh with no points.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bosstone:
One other question I have is if I am in a remote area with no cell phone service will my route still be updated live online?

If not will it be updated once I am back in cell phone range?

How exactly does that work?

Thanks

Sorry for all the posts in a row just trying to figure this out cause I am going on a cross country trip tomorrow.

Yesterday when I used http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/ to track me in a test it worked great. Today however when I go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/ and login all it shows is a map of the world and does not zoom in on my location?

Why is this? What could have changed between yesterday and today?

I want my family to be able to track me on my cross country trip but when I have them enter my tracking link into Google Earth they say it does not zoom in on my location.

Also when I have them go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/ and login it just shows the world wap and does not zoom in on my location?

Both Google earth and http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/ worked fine yesterday during testing

So frustrating. Any help would e great

Hi,

first of all: very nice program, I like the future to do this on your own webserver (instead of a commercial site). Keep up the good work.

What I am wondering is how a program like WIMP (Where Is My Phone) does work. With WIMP, your PDA is in standby (so NOT only the screen is off), but when you send a SMS to that PDA, it wil not come out of standby, but it does get a GPS fix en send it to another phone.

Isn't there a possibility that such thing can be done with your program. So every x minutes the phone will get a GPS fix and sent it to the server while the PDA is in standby.

I know this has been asked before, but WIMP rised the question for me...

Idea for small improvement

Hi Luis,

great software !

I have one idea for improvement. When I tested your app today, I was at home, so I walked some 10 meters there, back and so. I also had crappy sattelite connection-sometimes only 1 sat locked. When I then viewed the data on GMaps, I was surprised to see some of the points very very off the correct positions - sometimes even 1km ! I think it was "thanks" to small number of locked sattelites.

So it would be helpful, if in the database (and then subsequently in the file) was stored also the info about locked # of satellites in the time of recording the position. I would help deciding how much this position was real.

What do you think ?

Cheers,

Petr

Prague, CZ

PS: I noticed the option to "record position only if # of locked sats > x" ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drnibbles:
I have been playing with this software and its great so far. I just need to figure out the sweet spot settings for how often it should write a location depending on if I'm in a car or walking. I was on the bus home from work and had it write a location every 20sec. That was interesting in the city as I looked like i was all over the place. However getting off the bus and walking 12 min was great, then the 20 seconds worked great and plotted a very detailed track..

In EN:

For people who are using Artemis, there is the specific bug of freezing when you click on start.

The solution is to use a port splitter.

In this thread, people who own Artemis use GPS Gate to solve the freeze problem.

But this software isn't free, which is smily because we need it to use a freeware...

After research, I found the solution. In fact the problem whom staryon cannot solve is not only on its software. People found the same problem with Vitesse Limite which is a soft to check your speed and alert you if you are upper than the tolerated speed.

They made the freeware Port Splitter wich is only 63ko instead of around 3300ko for GPS Gate. ( original link from the info

For sure it's not so complete but in our case, it does what we need.

To make TackMe able to run correctly, launch Port Splitter.

Into the Input /Port case: click and write: COM4

Into the Input / Baud case let on the "4800"

Into Output, select "Com7:" and click on Add.

Start Splitter, and launch TrackMe. Don't forget to select the Port Com7 in it,

To stop the soft Port Splitter, Click on the button Stop Splitter, you will be able to Exit it if you want ;)

I did an image for people who don't understand ;)

Enjoy,

Regards,

Cyril

In FR:

Because lot's of Artemis user are french user, here is the same discussion in french:

Pour ceux qui ont un SPV M650 (P3300 ou Artemis): seul pda à freezé avec ce freeware:

La solution est d'utiliser un "splitter":

-utiliser GPSGate (le plus connu et le plus complet) => payant, dommage pour utiliser un freeware de devoir utiliser un shareware...

-utiliser Port Splitter, 63ko au lieu de 3300ko et gratuit, faisant ce qui lui est demandé

( lien d'origine de l'info). Après comment l'utiliser, lisez la partie anglaise de mon post, au pire, si vous ne comprenez pas l'anglais, j'ai réalisé une image ;)

Espérant que ça puisse aider,

Tracking Atv Trails

Hey will this program work for tracking atv trails. I want to track atv trails and camp ground streets at the camp ground where i go camping at. I also want to print out the trails and the streets to use the for reference when we are rinding around.
