I think he meant open both automatically.

Easiest way is just to add a shortcut to each program in My Device\Windows\StartUp

no not in windows startup. i want one shortcut to open two programs like trackme and tomtom at once when i select the shortcut.

Hi Staryon,

Firstly I would like to thank you very much for a fantastic app! (a donation will be on it's way soon) Before yours came along I was using 3Dtrackme which is rubbish in comparison.

I recently used (and still do use) the program extensively using my own server whereby my wife would track where I was on the way home from work and have dinner ready as I walked through the door (best use of this app I reckon! ;) ).

Anyway, I have a quick suggestion/feature request that may or may not have been mentioned before (a quick search didn't provide the answer, but I may have been using the wrong key words)

As I drive to and from work, I receive phone calls which I answer using the cars built-in bluetooth kit, and as expected, Trackme can't upload positions whilst in a call so stores them locally (which is great). I know that I can then upload these offline positions when I return home to provide the complete route.

My question is, can these stored offline positions be retransmitted once the internet connection is re-established after the phone call, rather than manually uploading them when the journey ends? At the moment once I finish the call, Trackme then continues to upload data, so I wondered if at that point it could send the stored positions at the same time?

Many thanks.

If there is no data in the database then you will get errors. The web script is designed to show you the data in the database. There is no point in setting up the web page if you aren't going to have data to show. I suppose I could put that in the instructions but it sure seems obvious to me...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, somebody already asked that sometime ago. I'm not sure if I will add it, I have to check my code to see how difficult it will be.

By the way, I'm sorry I haven't uploaded a new version yet. I'm having problems with Visual Studio 2008 because I cannot install it on my computer. As soon as I get it to work and I will start adding the minimize function to TrackMe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
well, the first time that you install it you are not going to have any data. I don't think it should give you errors even if you don't any data. The code should be ready to handle any situation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Done. I don't understand why but it now will give an error if any table has no records in it. So every table (users, positions, trips and icons) must have at least one record in them or no display.

This is version 1.15. All files except the crosshair have been updated. Someone will need to translate the new variable in the language.php file. The new variable is:

$no_data_text

If someone can provide German, French and Spanish translations that would be great.

Staryon, the file is in the same place as before.

Maybe you guys can help me out - this may have been asked already but I can't read 151 pages...

I did a drive I frequently do, trackme worked great. However now every time I make the drive it is just adding points over the existing ones - and its very hard to see where I am. Is there any way to clear the points from the KML and start fresh?

Thanks,

Dan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You can use different trip names.

By default, the positions are not assigned to any trip, and they go under 'None'

You can delete existing data for positions for a given trip or for positions with no trip assigned. You can also specify a date range.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmurray14:
Thanks - what do I need to do to delete existing non-trip data? I tried to do it through the delete gps positions menu but it is not doing anything to the KML, they're all there...

Thanks again for the great piece of software

Download directly to device

Hi Luis,

Wonderful application!

I've tried to download the CAB file directly to all my PPC2003, WM5 and WM6 devices and all of them I get the same problem: IE loads the CAB file as text and does not allow for saving it. I even tried installing Opera Mini 4 but it defaults to IE for downloading so I get the same behavior. I can download other CAB files without problems and I’ve noticed that in all other cases the extension is .cab instead of .CAB so I wonder if that is what is preventing IE from downloading (a file association issue?) or if there is more html involved.

I wonder if others are having the same issue and what is the best approach to solve this.

Thanks,

Topo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The KML is just a exported file based on the data that you have in the database and the parameters that you chose. Just generate it again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I have tried several times to set up my server for resolving that issue with no luck. However, I never thought about using .cab instead of .CAB

I just uploaded the file to http://www.luisespinosa.com/bin/trackme/TrackMe.cab

Could you try it and let me know if it works?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topo:
Luis,

It didn't. We need your server to recognize .cab and signal the browser to handle it using application/octet-stream MIME type. What server are you using?

Regards,

Topo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mack5305:
Don't know if this problem has been addressed in some 153 pages, but when I'm in town or on a freeway where I am near a cell tower the program works fine.

When I wander into a "No Service Area" around rural country roads the program stops logging data. Later, when I return to the "Service Area" (cell tower) the program begins logging again.

The KML file to Google shows the stopping point (No Service Area) and the entering point (into the Service Area) along the same route. All of the "No Service Area" is blank until I get near a tower.

Anyone else discover this? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you upload the offline data before generating the KML file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I use an external server. I already tried changing some parameters in the .htaccess file but still didn't work.

If you put width as 100% instead of whatever you have in the config file for width it will *Dynamically scale the maps width to the browser window however you have to set a Height in Pixels (px) because it wont do the same for the height or at least in ie 7 for example www.djsupportonline.com/locateme Posibbly because it cant scale 100% because then it would cover the buttons etc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rwashburn:
Feature idea!

For starters let me congratulate you on a truly amazing app, Nice work!

now for the question...

In many cases tracking my general location is more important than knowing my exact location. Is it possible to allow TrackMe to know my location based on cellular triangulation like with the latest version of google maps mobile? Using cellular triangulation I will no longer need to carry my GPS all the time.

Again thanks for the awesome app.

Rich
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi rwashburn,

Thanks for your comments!

Regarding your question... TrackMe is intended to be used only with GPS devices. At this moment I don't plan to change that.

This looks great! Im mkeen to give it a go, and log my routes offline.

Thanks!

Not a complaint: but was these supposed to be all in WM6? (im using a Kaiser)

Is it possible to reset the password on an account on your site?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topo:
Assuming your server is Apache, did you try the following entry in .htaccess?

AddType application/octet-stream .cab

This should do it. If it doesn´t, make sure the file is actually in use, check owner, permissions, etc.

Additionally, you can check for a file called mime.types and make sure it has this entry:

application/octet-stream cab [+ other extensions]

Regards,

Topo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phatman81:
BTW, there is no triangulation in google maps. it simply puts up a dot roughly where the cell tower is that you are currently on. Also, if you want that functionality, why not just use google maps? Its already there... why take time away from staryon for something that is free and available to everyone already?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Imperium:
Can i use this in combination with TomTom? or will it steal my GPS fix? (only 1 app per GPS device?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, you can use it with any other application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys, I think we'll have to wait before having the minimize feature.

I'm waiting for an update for one of the components that TrackMe uses that will include this feature soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It works! Thanks a lot.

What I had tried was

Code:

application/cab cab

If they don't want to update it, you can add the following to the/a .htaccess file in the /bin directory of your webspace:

Code:

AddType application/cab cab

and didn't work. However your solutions works great.

Thanks!

I have uploaded a new version where I have included a link to download the latest version. The link is in the About window.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbritten:
Sorry, a little off topic but i thought some people might be interested in program i stumbled, it works very nicely in conjunction with trackme. Navizon is a navigation program that uses cell tower and wifi ap's to navigate, also uses GPS if you're device has it. similar to google maps but the maps load a lot faster for me.

a few awsome things about the program are:

- you can create groups and subscribe to them, then you can view the locations of all your buddies in real time on the map

- They accually pay you to collect wifi ap's and cell tower locations. I've been using it for 3 days and made $20 already.

You can run it along with trackme and earn some points while your taking you trip.

The program and site have a lot of cool features that make traveling and gps tracking/navigation a lot of fun.

to use it you need to sign up for a free account, you can go here:

http://my.navizon.com/Webapps/UserAdmin/register.aspx?referral_code=5D56565E5A56

and yes i get credits if you all use the program, but it is free to use and it really is a cool program and they really do pay you to collect information.

The cab file can be downloaded here:

http://rapidshare.com/files/83451235/NavizonCab.cab.html

so if you check it out you should add mbritten to your buddy list, thats me.

anyway have fun.

Show position on map

Show position on map does not appear to use the remote settings under the advanced config. Did I do something incorrect or is this something that could be added?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yes, right now it's using my server for that. I'll change that for the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topo:
Anytime. Now I'll trow my 2 cents about your excellent application:

1) I See that you try to be on the "bleeding edge" using the latest versions of the dependencies and framework (CF & SQL 3.5, VS 2008, etc.) which is great but makes the application less compatible. I guess that with a little bit more code is not even necessary to sacrifice functionality for a larger audience, this includes going back to supporting PPC2003 (I have an iPAQ hw6515 which I love because the integrated GPS, and even though it still runs TrackMe (at least last time I checked after the announce of dropping support for it), I know it will break very soon at the current development speed ;)

2) I second the feature request of automatically uploading data upon reconnection. if TrackMe is clever enough to start storing offline, it shouldn't be much more difficult to upload offline positions when possible automatically, or is it?

Thanks,

Topo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Topo,

I upgraded TrackMe to CF3.5 and SQL 3.5 because people asked for that. If you use CF3.5 you have to use SQL 3.5, and if you want to use CF3.5 you need to have VS2008. Some people that were using flashed roms that include CF3.5 were not being able to use TrackMe. That's the ONLY reason I upgraded it, to make it compatible for everybody. For that reason, it's the opposite that you say, the program is now more compatible than before.

However, this doesn't mean that is not compatible with PPC2003 because of that. It's probably not compatible because I'm already using some features that were added in WM5 and they are not supported with PPC2003. I will have to check that. I will just recompile my project for PPC2003 and see what happens. Maybe it will compile ok.

The other request have been asked several times. I still don't know if I will add it. I have to do some testing first.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just compiled the project for PPC2003 and I got an error because the dialog that I show for uploading pictures is not available for PPC2003.

Just for testing I have removed that part, so now it compiles. If yo want to test it (I don't have a PPC2003 to do it), here is the executable for PPC2003 devices:

Hi,

I have some problem when using trackme.

when i install "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab", it shows installation error beocoz the memory isn't sufficient. But i checked my memory, their is 17M free.

However, i still able to install track me. But when using the feature of trackme eg. force update and export data, it shows " the notice is not able to be display" and i can't upload my data to these server. And i event cannot check my account on trackme website.

Any idea about this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!!

- Added option to upload offline data automatically when internet connection is available. (you can find this option in Configuration->Remote. If you have this option checked and offline data, TrackMe will check every 5 minutes if an internet connection is available)

- Show position on map now uses the server specified in Configuration->Remote

Enjoy!

'the notice is not able to be display' is that exactly the message that you get?

Staryon...

Thanks for a great application, however the last version I've been able to use was released on 12/31.

I am using the Q-mobile 1.2 rom which includes NET CF 3.5, and I install the Sql 3.5 file from the first post before I install TrackMe.

When I run TrackMe the waitcursor is on the screen for approx 30 seconds until a message appears:

"File or assembly name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3', or one of its dependencies, was not found."

So I tap "Quit" on bottom right of screen and this message appears:

".NET CF Initialization Error. The app failed to load required components. If the .NET Compact Framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in place and launch the app again. Support info: -2147483643 (80000005)"
