Man, google maps doesn´t have this zoom level on your place and so much more places....Like SãoPaulo Br. We got more Ferrari(and every year, who got need pay to gov 6% per year to use on streets) than other countries, now we got more choppers(helicop...)than NY.

Google got a office in br

But Google doesnt have yet a nice zoom level and traffic statics and street directions, street view and very simple 3d draw 2colors on map view . Can you belive?

yes I had seen the reply when I posted my comment - because in any case AppToDate is nice to have... if people don't use it, don't use it... but for all of us that DO use it, it is very nice to have

after all it is an application that was missing from WM and others developers MUST support it

Anyone interested in a Geotag script?

I've been interesting in geotagging images for the last few years, but it always required logging NMEA or doing other specialized logging in order to capture the data to correlate with the photo timestamp.

It's been a while since I thought about it, and a few days ago I realized that TrackMe was the perfect way to geotag my images! I generally run TrackMe all the time when I'm out anyway, and personally I typically don't care if my photo GPS location is exact, I'm generally more interested in knowing the area. In the past I've manually geotagged from coordinates from Google Earth, etc..

So I wrote a script in Perl which reads DateTimeOriginal from any supported image, then uses a given time period of 'inaccuracy' to determine how close a TrackMe timestamp can be before it'll tag the image with a coordinate. At all times, it uses the closest timestamp. If there are no results because the time period was 'too restrictive', nothing is done.

Example: If you specify 30 minutes, it'll search the trackme database for 30 minutes before and after the image was taken. If it finds a result, the closest one to the actual image time is used. That result could be 29:59 seconds away in this example, so the desired minimum time accuracy is up to you. Again, it'll always pick the closest time, not one that could be 30 minutes out if there is a closer timestamp.

It's written in Perl, requires Image::ExifTool, DBI, and Time::Local. In Fedora, Time::Local is the only one which requires installing a module not in the Fedora repositories, I can't speak for other distros. I'm sure this would also work in Windows as well, but I have not tested it there.

Just wanted to mention it, in case anyone is interested. I think it's done, and works, I just prefer to test it a bit more before releasing it. Since this writes EXIF image to your pictures, there is the small possibility of file corruption, but I'm using a time-proven Perl module to do all of the work so I don't expect any problems. Once I do some more tagging and validation, I'll post a link to it here. Just wanted to gauge interest. Hopefully Staryon doesn't mind me posting this here, since it's directly dependent upon TrackMe.

remote control of TrackMe (by SMS)

Hi Staryon,

I was just thinking about some features...

if it would be possible to remotely control some features of TrackMe?

eg start/stop capturing data/force update now/send possition by sms,email... (I do not intend to track someones other without permsion - its my phone and is in silent mode)

(something like notification by event)

or even do this by GPRS/internet...(using TrackMe Display) I have seen a program which had a feature to send messages over internet using (both ways)

GoeFence alerts:

- could it be also time-based? to set time/days when an alert would be enabled/disabled automaticaly

- could there be also option to alert when GPS signal is lost?

-ERROR found: when setting a decimal number in distance area using "." (full stop) the applicion closed down. when using "," (comma) seems to be ok - my local settings uses comma in decimal numbers

- I have TrackMe in my car and would like to use it sometimes for tracking me and as "Car ALARM". The phone is hidden thus the access and use the application is difficult. as I drive everyday a lot I cannot use TrackMe online all the time due to the amount of data being uploaded = $$$ spent (I use another pre-paid GSM card).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zzzp:
GeoFence

can somene explain the difference beween ENABLED and NOTIFIED in GeoFence settings?

found only one post about notified - but as I understand when alert is enabled it should notify at the same time, no?

I have a little question maybe it's allready asked but I can't find it. Can you upload Pics from any camera so i can take better pics instead of the 2 MP camera of my touch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Okay done! Thanks for the additional tweak settings in the config.php file. BTW, I guess it was a bad issue with the code (like some way to delete your database or something).

Thanks for the fix(s)!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, I already changed my files to use the file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Oh boy, that is just SWEET! I hope that gets released soon (along with the web code to support it).

:):eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Staryon, if you can give me a preview of the MySQL table changes I can probably get my updates made and have them ready for your release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] licht77:
Staryon - I love your tool! Really great work!

Two suggestions: How about calculating speed and altitude on the pdaside and include those 2 vars in the submission to the server?

And I would suggest to validate the vars passed to the sql statement. (I could do this on monday if wanted)

Thx and keep on that good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Check your PMs.

By the way, I have a suggestion ;)

I would like to include your viewer in my website, but since I have many users and I want to keep their privacy, do you think you can provide a place to enter their username and password before seeing the data?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes! that's what I'm doing. It looks nice so far.

I will be testing this tonight on my driving back home. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
BTW, speaking of privacy - the password is in clear text and you should be putting that in a MD5 hash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I know, I know... :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
jcleek,

I forgot. In the database Speed and Altitude are stored in meters per seconds and meters respectively.

1 Meter per Second = 2.2369362920544 Miles per Hour

1 meter per second = 3.6 kilometers per hour

1 meter = 3.2808399 feet
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmm... I just noticed that you don't really need that information. Anyway, there it is :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
I am done coding for the night but I too have been thinking about the whole user name and password thing for the web page. I suppose I can set it up for a question at install: public or private. Public is what is there now, private will be a box to enter user ID and Pass and that is the only person's data that will show up. I just have to figure out how to do that.

I will also start on the MySQL stuff. I may be able to work on it tomorrow while driving down to Hampton if I can get the wife to drive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
If you might change the code I will wait. Once you are solid on it I will make the updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Okay since updating the with the new web code TrackMe can not upload and it tells me I need to use a user/password and when I use the manual link in IE I get, "Result:3".

The site itself is working, where I can look at my kml or get trips from the DB.

So, going to poke around and try to figure this out but if you have a suggestion, I'll take it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Well, its the darn globals again (forgot to place a php.ini with globals enabled for my track folder). Got to get away from globals being enabled on your server. ;)

Request about the Show Last Position (or if there is one marker on a map), could the zoom be somewhere around map.setZoom(17)? At my house the last zoom level does not work for Satellite view (I am using hybrid view).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Not possible. The map figures out its own zoom level based on what is being displayed. It has nothing to do with available satellite imagery.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Well, it is:

//Find
$html .= " map.setZoom(map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));\n";

// Replace with
$html .= " map.setZoom(17);\n";

I just can not figure out how to do a if/else for the "last_location" and "database_data" buttons. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think it's a great idea having those 2 options for the server!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] powerppc:
This is great. It has been progressing since day one. I'm glad you decided not to put the map within the software, otherwise it will be following Mologogo and be another bloatware. As long as your location can be viewed live from Pocket Internet Explorer, just like tracker1.reperion.com, that would be great. That way I can track my family, friends from PIE rather than tracking them within the software which slows down the software, i.e. Mologogo.

Sorry for bringing up other software, but I figured there has to be a comparison if you are going to better than the other. One more thing, could you make a Battery Level indicator to show up on the KML if possible? Just like accutracking.com software.

I'm sure you have a long way to go Luis, but I'm glad the community is a big help. Especially jcleek with his ways with Google Maps. JCleek, I also found out that Yahoo Maps are PDA friendly, so maybe PIE can view your location live with Yahoo Maps? Not sure, but at least Accutracking uses Yahoo Maps for PDA viewing.

Luis, I still think this software should be straight to the point. I noticed your software has become more and more customize-able for people who wants to use their own server. But some people might want a simple one where they start the program, it would automatically start sending and that's it. But the way I see it is that I'm glad the software is still small enough, yet it gets to the point.

I may be asking too much at this point, but it's good to have the simplicity of what Accutracking has, but also mobile friendly like Reperion.

Keep up the good work, the speed and alt is a good addition.

Unable to connect to database or blabla Assembly failed

Hello,

I was able to install smothly Tram_me server (install.php with no error and deleted after config.inc is existing with correct info)

Bu TrackMe is unable to update anything

Connected by Wifif I get 'unable to connect database' on tha ppc application

Connected by GPRS : "Error uplading position. Un message d'erreur ne peux pas etre ..."

The last one seems to come from my web server (because in french) but probably refer to an Socket assembly failure for the .net framework...

Any idea?

Also what can we do to troubleshoot?

Notified means that the alert was already fired. When an alert has been notified it won't be fired again.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] faeArai:
hey, staryon,

could you somehow reduce the amount of data being uploaded to the server?

You could compress the data and uncompress it on server side. If uploading offline positions they could be uploaded entirely within one http request.

Hello,

Is it possible to add an offset to the GPS altitude ? I would like to reduce it.

Is it also possible to add some stats about the trip on the display ?

I'm using this software every day to ride my bike to my work and back to home. I' upload the data when I'm back the evening at home (wifi).

I'll really appreciate to know the time I've ride.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi,

Probably you already saw it... but from the clients, if you go to Manage Trips, you can select a trip and click on 'Show Summary' for some stats.

From the web viewer you have some stats, but not too much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 20100v:
Yes you're right, but you need a network connection to get the existing trips.

I don't have a 3G/GPRS connection and I've only wifi at home.

For the first time I found a use for creating and using a gpx file so I enabled it on my Trackme. I get an error every time it attempts to create on though. "Error creating remote gpx" with a box in () next to it. I then went to my server and it doesn't have my kml file there either even though I'm not getting an error.

I do use a subdomain and think this might be the problem. I can't just change it out either because the subdomains on my server don't follow a typical subdomain path. ie. trackme.mysite.com doesn't equal www/mysite/trackme. My folder format on the server is more like: siteroot/subdomains/trackme/httpdocs/ while my main site is located at siteroot/httpdocs/.

In TrackMe when I have it show me file locations it shows: http://trackme.mysite.com:80//routes/username.gpx and http://trackme.mysite.com:80//routes/username.kml.

Edit: Ok just just changed the permissions on the "routes" folder to 777 and the kml is now there but still no sign of the gpx file. I am running the latest version of TrackMe too.

response.status 204 with geocoding google

Hi

I use my own server to upload data to.

I close the asp upload with a response.write ("0") if all is OK and Trackme is replying with ....OK.

In my own asp file which I use for uploud and parsing the data in to a database I have also some code which is doing geo coding with Google.

But trackme on my cellphone does not like that, after the response,write(0)

trackme is still in sesion. I tried a response.status 204 right after this, but trackme does not response to this.

How can i execute additional ASP/getting JAVA code without getting an error in trackme (like failed to upload etc)

Hope you ca help and explain this.

If this works I can reverse geocode tal and long to an Address

Rgards Pieter
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
TrackMe is not a navigation tool. You should use a different program for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:

ASP Server file for trackme and reverse GEO

Hi

Off Course. no problem

Below the classic ASP file which will work for trackme

ans store all the data in a MYSQL table

You need to create the table first.

Below you can see the response.write("Result:0")

If I put some additional command after this then trackme will not give a good result. SO I think you are not closing the http call after this.

a normal http call can be released with 'Response.Status = "204 no content"

but trackme does not react on this, Can you tell how this is handled.

If this works, reverse GEO tracking (actual address) is possible basec on LAT and LONG.

Regards Pieter

staryon, any ideas why the gpx file can't be created but the kml can?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for sharing that. I will post it in the Development thread.

Regarding your question I just send a HTTP command to the server and I close the data connection after that.

I'm not expecting any specific server return codes. Not sure why that happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Could you be more specific? What kind of problem you are having?

Yeah, I'll download a fresh copy and replace it anyway to be on the safe side. I'll let you know if it works.

You can use TrackMe in offline mode when you don't have an internet connection. Once you have internet again you can upload all the data that has been stored temporarily on your PDA. Please check the manual for more information.

Hi

I have telephone without internet. Is it possible to download a map before I traveling to the telephone and use TrackMe to see where am I, using this map?

Map can be just a picture, downloaded for.ex. from gmap. This picture must be somehow tied to GPS positions . Of course, I will need to download maps BEFORE travel. It will be the same, like you browse gmap with kml, but offline.

Thank you.

GPS Photo's won't upload

Hi there,

First of all, thanks for your amazing app... It's working super!!!

I have a problem with GPS Photo's I want to upload.

My pics folder has CHMOD 777. I took a GPS photo with my TyTN II. When I try to upload this photo I get the following steps:

- "Searching closest position..."

- "Uploading picture..."

- "Error uploading picture"

Any idea what went wrong here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deuzeff:
Hi Staryon,

got a question. I was playing around with the lastest version.

I tried using both functions "send position email" and "send position sms". The first one works great, but the latter has a strange behaviour.

I understand why TrackMe established a data connexion in order to send an email, but why establish also a data connexion prior sending a sms?

It is also possible that I misunderstand the way it works :) (does it need for example to get info from the server prior creating the links to be sent via sms?)

Greets.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah, the reason is because it tries to create a short link with the url for your position. In order to do this I need to make an http call to a server that does that. If for any reason, the short link cannot be created, it will use the long one.

Something that you can do is to cancel the data connection as soon as you see is trying to connect.

I think I should add an option that lets the user to disable that.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deuzeff:
Hi,

thanks, I thought there was someting like that. That's really working perfectly, many thanks.

I'd like also to thank for the new version of the web client, I tried the previous one, but since this v1.2, this is pretty smooth to use :p. Installation on my server went perfectly well.

EDIT: got a question concerning the photo upload :). Would it be possible to choose a specific time to which the photo should be related. For example, I travel from 9 to 11 AM, I take a picture at 10:05 but didn't upload it, now I can't attach it to the 10:05 GPS location, only to the 11:00 one. Or is there a way around that?

Another idea: could it be possible to avoid overwritting the KML files while exporting them. For example you want to create 1 KML file per trip, but using the export function, it will write always in the same file, that's to say "user.kml". Maybe adding a incrementing number (001,002 etc) would be an interesting feature :).
