Wow, the login is a nice addition. However, I don't see breadcrumbs. Such as where I was. It would be nice incase the person that I'm tracking stop by somewhere that I missed. Just a suggestion. Maybe the breadcrumbs can be limited to 100 Points so the history don't last long.

I also noticed the Show Archive don't have any history or data to show.

Good job on the login, it makes it nice for privacy purposes.

Thanks, "routes" folder is created I strictly followed instruction of jcleek in his readme include in the zip.

no kml is created (I assume your app get a response from my web site and stop with "you need to provide username password"

config.php is also goog because my dummy user is available but "of course" without any data.

Can I present a dummy url to upload.php to see (from my browser) what he get as response ?

thanks for your help! for my case that seems a little bit specific!

Hi Staryon and MPIIIMan...

I have just once again a little suggestion: How about validating the incoming vars in order to prevent sql injections? A short regex like the following could do this really easy (e.g. validating username chars):

if (preg_match("^[A-Za-z0-9]+[A-Za-z0-9 _-]{0,1}[A-Za-z0-9]+$", "$ID")) { bla bla;}

I like your tool! Keep up your excellent work!

PS: How are your efforts in calculating speed and height on the pda side?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version and documentation available!!

Check the first post for details.

Please feel free in expanding the documentation and/or correcting mistakes

if anyone is interested. I'm really bad writing documentation and also my English is not great :(

licht77, this new version contains what you asked for.

adebilloez, try to download the server files that I put in the first post (manual installation) just in case that resolves your problem.

jcleek, you can get the latest php files from the first post.

Once you make the changes, do you think you can put the latest version here?

I think the version that is there at this moment doesn't have the public/private feature that you added on Friday.

Thanks!!!

I assume there is a MySQL change, perhaps new columns for speed/alt? So, I need to be able to update my DB for the new format - do you have a SQL Script to update the tables?

I have a HTC Ozone and recently I flashed a new ROM with 6.5

and I got the same problem than you.

What I had to do was to run TrackMe from the debugger and let Visual Studio to install any additional libraries. After doing that it worked.

I don't know why but maybe there is a newer version for 6.5 and the registry gets messed up with information from different versions.

I thought this was a problem with the cooked ROM that I was using but maybe not.

If I am able to isolate the problem and I find out what you need to install and in what order I will let you know. Unfortunately this won't be until I reflash my device again.

Hello,

I'm using Trackme on my Diamond since January 2009. I'm using it twice times per day. I log my trip to go to work on the morning and back to home on the evening. Until august, it works correctly. But since August, sometimes, the trackme application stop to respond, and my log is only for 20 km (by example) instead of 26 km. I use live upload (Always but upload every 180s). In the same time I use an other application GpsCycleComputer. And this application doesn't stop. I've the entire log with this one.

I've to warn that my emails are checked every hour and my trip is almost less than 1 hour in the morning. Less more 1 hour in the evening. So I think that there is some troubles about the connection data. Mails uses special connection data, and internet access use an other one. When there is no 3G access, the phone can make only one connection. Maybe the email connection close the trackme connection, and close it ?

I'll try to stop my email check to see what's happend.

Do you have any issue with connection troubles ?

Thanks

Works great on the Verizon Touch Pro 2. Awesome program!!

I have a suggestion/feature request. Can you make it so the text isn't cut off in the log? There is a scroll bar, but the text is still cut off.

Also, what are the buttons for? There are no labels. I kinda figured them out, but there is an "up arrow" next to the GPS Status. What is that for? Also, the TrackMe Display on your site - does it refresh automatically? If I want to share it with friends who can track me, can they just leave the screen on, or do they need to hit the "show" button often?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments!

Could you post a screenshot? Does this happen when the text is very long?

That's your current direction. You can disable that from Config->General menu.

Yes, there is an option to live tracking. Click on 'Live tracking on' on the top.

No, just use Live tracking. The image will be refreshed automatically.

Hope it helps

Cheers!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
yes, i't does work. (see my signature)

i've installed trackme and than Microsoft Compact Framework 3.5 ... tried to run trackme (but it didn't work) ... than installed SQL Server Mobile 3.5 (but it still didn't work) THAN i removed Framework 3.5 (I THINK... or maybe sql server?! ... it's been a while... what remains in the 'remove programs' list is: SQLServerCompact 3.5 Core... dunno which of the two above mentioned it is) and than trackme works! (maybe there has been a softreset after removing one of the two programs...

i'm not sure, why removing one of them is important, but i think that windows gets some libraries, while installing, that track me needs... but something other (older files) too... and maybe these files are removed, while removing the software (and the newer files beeing used again), and only the neccessary libraries remain...

i hope it's not to complicated what i'm trying to say here.. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Lem,

On a trip today i realized that TrackMe would be nice if it had a fairly simple dashboard shown. Here's an example..

What would be really great is if there were a number of selectable pieces of data to display and any of them could be put into one of the dashboard locations. And probably some option to turn the dashboard on or off.

Some suggested datas to have available:

Current Speed

Current Altitude

Current Bearing

Trip Time

Current Time

Battery Percent

Miles Traveled (if this data is even available?)

GPS/Tracking Enabled (largish icon/coloured to indicate)

Perhaps a long-press on a dashboard to pick which data to show in that segment.

Hope you like the idea. :) I know there are other programs which do this sort of thing, but I often have TrackMe up and running just by itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khoury4:
Is there anyway to have the individual trips create a subfolder within the main folder. When I use Google Earth, the current trip is in the "TrackMe" folder. What I'd like to see is the TrackMe folder expand to the show all the trips in their own subfolders. Then clicking on the subfolders will show each route independently. Right now it seems like a new trip over writes what's in the main folder in Google Earth. You can access each trip by uploading the specific route from your device, but I'd like to be able to store and sort all of the routes from the desktop.

This may already be possible, but I have not been able to find any direct information via search or faq.

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi khaytsus,

Thanks for taking the time in creating that screen.

Yes, I have thought about that many times but as you know I always say TrackMe is not a navigation tool because there are already tons of programs that do that as you mention. TrackMe is not the kind of application that you have to be looking at the screen while you use it.

However, since I added recently the Live Map because people were asking for that I cannot say I will not add your request. If I end up adding it, it will be in a different window. I cannot do that in the main window because there is not space left. It may look ok on your device, but there are others with much lower resolution that will not fit.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No, that's not possible. The idea is you only have to export whatever you want to see in that moment. All your data is already in your database.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What happens when you click on the GPS icon at the top? Does your GPS stop?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
No problem there, that mock-up was a 2 minute tweak in Gimp, just to show my idea rather than just speak to it. Being on another screen would be fine. I understand that you want to limit the scope of TrackMe with very good reason, but I was thinking the "dashboard" might fit well within the use case of cyclists or even drivers who want to track but otherwise minimize programs running to optimize battery and stabilty.

Look forward to it if you decide to do it. ;-)

Web upload pictures

Is there any way to use my browser to upload pictures with GPS data (i guess there is), have it been done and where can find the code. If noone worked on this, please give some info about which file get the exif data and upload the pictures.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That has not been done and it would be something nice to have.

Maybe the user could select a position from the web viewer and have an option to upload the image.

I don't have the code but I'm sure there has to be something available out there.

If you end up implementing something let me know, I will help you testing it.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Do you mean you would have a browse button of sorts in the browser to upload an image directly to the server, and the server would place it on a point based on time or EXIF data?

Phil,

What's the mechanism for this today? Just posts the image within TrackMe? Looks like upload.php?a=pic but I don't see what the server does with it after that honestly, the upload.php just basically stores the upload in a file, doesn't call the database except for user/pass validation? I'm confused what it even does with the picture myself. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Constantinff:
Just i have over 1000 pictures to be uploaded, and it is very slow using the program (and as I see the program resize them)

so it will be easier to write a web application for uploading the pics. And i was looking for the process of getting the exif data and selecting the trip and between which positions to appear the photo , but dont find anything in the php files, so i guess it is done by the trackme program before uploading , isn't it ?

win 6.5

strange!

as i told someone a few posts before, i was able to run trackme unter windows mobile 6.5. now i had to hard reset my device... still running the same rom... but i can't get trackme to work any more. is there something different in the new version, that might cause the sql error? is there a workaround?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
1000 pictures? Heh. Well, let's see what Phil says the mechanisms are. My quick analysis I didn't see where the pictures were geotagged/associated so I'm certainly missing something. Although this might go better in his other thread.

If it's not too complicated and Phil would allow it on his server I could probably do something simple.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Well, I was thinking in doing that but without looking at the EXIF data.

Basically you select a position and associate an image to it.

TrackMe processes the image files. It retrieves the EXIF data.

Once that data is retrieved, it will send a request to the server to get the closest position based on that EXIF data. As soon as the server has returned that information, TrackMe will upload the image and associate it to that position.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, check my previous post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No, nothing has changed in TrackMe.

Try uninstalling Compact Framework and reinstalling it again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I've seen several posts around .net 3.5 on WM 6.5 for different programs... I believe RemoteTracker I saw it mentioned, plus saw it mentioned in a Rhodium forum.

Would it be possible to add an option to send an SMS every minute with time, position, heading, and speed?

I would like to be able to do real time tracking even while talking on the phone. I can send and receive SMS while in-call, but my phone/network cannot do simultaneous voice and data.

Sending the time the position was obtained would be necessary since there can be a delay in when the SMS is sent.

Are there any programs that already offer this feature?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Where would the SMS go? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm sorry, but I don't have plans to add that feature.

I know it's not exactly what you need, but check my other tool CatchMe which sends positions by sms messages without using an internet connection.

I just wanted to say that this is working perfectly on my Verizon CDMA HTC Imagio. Windows Mobile 6.5. Once I installed the required software on my phone, I was able to set it up with my own server!

Questions:

How can I embed a map of my current position in my blog page? (PHP). I just need a Javascript snippet or what have you. I can edit and upload the files.

I chose not to make it public, but anyone can see my position, the directory doesn't seem to be password protected? What file can I edit to make it private so I don't need to run the install again? What file or where are the settings stored on my server?

Lastly, what exactly do I put in the Analytics blank? I visited https://www.google.com/analytics/home/?et=reset&hl=en-US but have no idea what to get from there.

Thanks again, donation on the way!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi y0himba,

I don't think anybody has written a plugin for that. I think it would be a nice thing to do. If you have some programming experience I don't think it should too complicated to add. If you work on that, keep us updated in the developer thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477394

When you choose not to make public, the user will have to enter a username and password to see your position and trips. We don't use the kind of protection that you mention in TrackMe.

Sorry but I have no idea about that!

I've had the problem with the 'Lost connection to GPS' since the last update, looking in the wiki for my phone (HTC Touch Pro 2) there is a program to keep the GPS connection active and I ran it once the other day and it seems to have cured the problem. Not sure if it will work on other phones but might be worth a go until the problem is fixed.

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/GPS Tweakshttp://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/GPS Tweaks

Staryon, I suspect this program has modified the registry somwhow as like I say have only run it once and the phone has been rebooted and still seems ok, might be something you want to investigate as even when I hit the power off button to turn the display off it still keeps tracking.

I also have a couple of suggestions for your to do list relating to trip management as mine runs for days and days and it makes isolating parts of it quite hard.

1. An option to start a new trip at a set time. (I'd like to have a seperate trip per day so I'd use 00:00)

and/or

2. An option to start a new trip if the location hasn't changed for a set period of time (So if I haven't moved for say 2 hours and then start it will create a new trip)
