There's a search function on top of each thread, you don't need to read throught the whole thread, but you can of course search using key-words :).

To find storage options, you need to click on and then . There you'll be able to select the storage behaviour of TrackMe.

If you select "always", meaning that TrackMe will always store locally, then your positions will be stored in the local.sdf file located in the installation folder of Trackme.

I never use LiveTracking, but I guess you need to specify in the Storage options that you never want to store locally, meaning you need to tick "never". That way you'll use the data connection to upload immediately your positions to the server. The person who wants to see your progression will have then to logged in into the server and activate the LiveTracking mode.

For the username.kml, it has been asked many times before yes. An alternative way, for now, would be to export your trip locally (select "local" in the instead of "remote"), so that you can each time rename them before exporting the next one.

An updated user-guide is coming, matter of time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
deuzeff has rewritten TrackMe's documentation. He did a great job.

I'll try to update my website with it in the next few days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
Anyone else has a crash when they click on the "View Summary" in the trip manager?

I get a crash 100% of the time. I also tried to reinstall and still get the crash...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Are you using your own server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deuzeff:
Just a small contribution compared to the great soft you pounded out :D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
Argg, I forgot to mention it, yea I'm using my own server.

I'll try to extract and post the Detailed call stack. I searched about it and found that someone already posted in his thread but I haven't found any fix for it.

I'll also try to post the access/error logs of apache when I get home tonight.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's the problem. If you are using your own server it can be tricky to find the problem because it may related to its configuration.

Anyway, post as much information as you can so maybe people using their own server may have some ideas of what's going on.

Okay,

So I open the application, I go into: Manage Trip

I click on Options->Get Existing

Everything is fine and it gives me a list of all the trips.

I click on a trip, then click on Options->View Summary then I get a crash.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
wmastah, could you check if 'Show Position on map' (3rd icon at the bottom) works ok on yours?

I have the impression that maybe the problem is when launching your default browser to show results.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kalekume:
delete one point

sorry for my bad english,

i have uploaded a trip today, but a point is bad, too out off the road.

is there a way to delete this point?

i can export the trip to a kml file and edit it. But can i upload the modified kml file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You can delete it if you know exactly when it happened.

Just go to Tools->Delete Positions and select the right date range and trip name.

Hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
I'm currently in a building where I can't get a gps fix.

As soon as I go out, I'll try again to confirm but I already tried it before and it worked correctly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kalekume:
Thank you very much !!!!

i have now a right trip
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
I just tried the show position on map and it work correctly, it open an Opera browser and show my current position.

I'm using an HTC Touch Pro and everything else seems to work fine. Haven't seen any other problem.

Could it be related to the fact that I didn't enter any trip text?

I checked in my databases, all the data seems fine. Only the CellID table is null since I'm using a CDMA phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] QuiQNeZZ:
Thanks for some of the answers deuzeff but I got alot more on some of the other features, so if you can direct me to where this documentation is i'd be grateful. Might answer all my questions.

And btw, ALL forum searches suck. I would still need to go through mad pages to find the answers to my any questions.

But thanks for the suggestion.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I debugged TrackMe using that result and it worked ok.

I still think it has to do when launching the browser but I'm not sure what it can be :(

I'll let you know if I find out something
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
wmastah,

I uploaded a new version of TrackMe. This version should give you an error message telling you what file failed to open.

When you click on 'Show trip summary' what I do is to create an html page with the information. Once I have that I copy that file to the temp folder and I ask Windows Mobile to open it. I think it may happen that WM doesn't know how to open a html file and that's why it fails. This may be your problem.

I'm not sure how you can assign extensions to specific programs in WM. If somebody knows please tell us! Maybe that will fix your problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
Awesome!

Hmm, I'm leaving in 2 hours for a trips for the entire week-end. This will be my first full scale test... I can't really risk reinstalling it right now and forgetting an option ;)

5 seconds gps position, 10m minimum distance, reported live each time.

I got myself a 10000 mAh USB batterypack (+1300mAh from my cell's). Can't wait to try it! ;)

I'll report back with the new version as soon as I can install the new one. Either tomorrow, depends where the internet stops or sunday when I come back.

Thanks! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Check TrackMe periodically! I unfortunately find it "missing" sometimes, no idea why, and when it happens anything that hadn't yet uploaded is gone. I don't know if it has to do with my usage or what. Here's a typical use case for me when I've found this happen:

Run Trackme, make sure it's logging. Launch TomTom, pick a geocache to navigate to, go there. Launch GeoNiche, find cache. Go back to TomTom, find next cache to go to, etc. Along the way I'm launching TrackMe and turning off the screen. But sometimes I'll go to TrackMe and it's no longer there.

I've never found anything that's easily reproduced to offer Staryon in this regard. My suspicion is that TrackMe is being killed by the OS due to memory starvation, but that wouldn't really answer why points go missing I don't think. I'd think if the OS kills TrackMe, everything logged would still be in the local.sdf.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
k,

I'll keep an eye on for this... However, each point will be sent instantly (thanks to unlimited data). I hope I won't loose any point this way...

I'm still not sure on the power usage though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illflux:
Staryon (or anybody else) - what software would you suggest for this (guiding me to waypoints)? I've tried a few, but haven't found anything that I liked very much. I would appreciate suggestions for Windows Mobile, since that's what I use.

Can any of these navigation programs use the waypoints as they are stored by TrackMe, or will I have to dump them out of the db first, format them differently, and then import them into the other software? I'd prefer to keep using TrackMe for tracking, as it's the best I've found so far for that purpose (and the price is hard to beat!).

Continued thanks for the work of all involved in this project.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobsTV:
After monitoring a trip today (user jfpu), I have now found that Google Earth will only show last 6 hours of updates. Later updates remove points older than 6 hours, so total trip time shown is limited to 6 hours. At least that's how today's trip went that just ended.

Is this 6 hour trip shown a limitation of Google Earth, or some setting on my end I need to change, or a limitation in TrackMe?

Thanks

Rob
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
TrackMe doesn't have any limits. I don't know about GE, but I as far as I can remember I have exported trips of more than 6 hours and they worked fine.

When you create the KML file, are you sure you are exporting the full range?

Did you look at the KML file to double check that all the points are really there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobsTV:
This is using Live Tracking if that makes any difference..

Yes, all points were there early on, then they dropped off one by one, as 6 hour mark was reached past each point.

I started watching the user leave here at 10am.

Points updated automatically every 5 minutes and all were there.

As soon as he passed 6 hours, the "green" start point changed, dropping original departure point first.

This continued to change with every further auto update, so as to keep the total trip time shown no more than 6 hours in length.

here is the trip I was following, but shown in Google maps instead of GE.

Same results though:

google maps

False start point: 2009-04-26 10:54:16Trip

Correct current end point: 2009-04-26 16:53:59Trip

6 hours is all it shows
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Wait a moment, I think I know what's going on! ;)

I don't know if I missed that part of the information or you didn't mention it, but I just realized that you are using live tracking!

Yes, for live tracking only the last 6 hours are exported. I chose this value because I thought that would be enough for somebody who just wants to know what a person is doing recently.

On the other hand, if you go to Tools->Export Positions you will be able to export a bigger range but again not when using live tracking.

Hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobsTV:
That clears up all the questions I have had.

So two types of viewing, someone remote can track Live for 6 hours, or personal viewing which allows user to upload trip points to google afterwards to see how they progressed, which others can also view at that time, until new trip is started.

Just tried the export feature on an old trip and it works great and solves my future trip questions.

Thanks for taking the time on a Sunday to help me out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Not a problem! I'm glad everything is clear now.

Hey!

I just downloaded and installed the latest version. Now, when I click on View Summary, I get a popup that says:

Title: Config

Win32Exception (file

\Application

Data\Volatile\8F41.html)

It doesn't crash anymore, but nothing more than this line appear. I think it's probably trying to print \Application Data\Volatile\8F41.html but cut it because of the space?

If it changes anything, I'm running an HTC Touch Pro and the software is installed at the default location on the Storage Card.

Edit:

I went in my cellphone \Application Data\Volatile folder on my cell internal memory and I found the files, they seems to be created correctly (have some data in it).

I also tried to create \Application Data\Volatile in the root of the storage card but it didn't change anything. I tried to copy the file that were created in the cellphone root folder, but it doesn't work since it use random generated names...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah, check my previous about that and the problem opening files that are not associated to a program.

Did you try to double click on that file to see what happens?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wmastah:
The icons seems to be associated correctly (an Opera icon) but it doesn't open, it says no application are associated with the file. But it works correctly with the current position, that's weird?

Edit: I just modified/remade the html association with Total Commander, it now open correctly, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's great!

The reason it worked with the current position is because when you call that function a remote web page is opened (using http). However, when you use the Show Summary function the web page is generated locally.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bootx1:
This really is an amazing tool. I’ve had a look through this thread and can’t find answers to a couple of questions I have.

a)	Is it possible to have the server-side app display only the last point uploaded, instead of the full trip?

b)	Is it possible, or are there plans, for the server-side app to be able to overlay several user locations at once, providing they are uploading to the same sql database?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hi bootx1,

Yes, if you click no Live Tracking only the last position will be shown.

Never thought about that but it looks good to me. We had some people interested in adding new features to the web viewer but unfortunately I haven't heard from them in a long time. So I'm not sure when new features will be added to that plugin.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
User DeuZeFF has rewritten TrackMe's documentation!

I really want to thank him all this hard work! I also appreciate his support here at the forum helping other users as well.

I'm sure this new guide will help many users.

cannot exit trackme

One more time I would like to put this problem to you all. Whenever I exit Trackme the program stays in memory and I cannot kill it, even using taskmanager. This happens to me from the very first release of Trackme and I have been using a zillion different ROMs and Staryons server, my server and maybe all other combinations of parameters. Could somebody shed some light? It can't be that my name is also the name of a month or something odd like that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you start the program and close it after that without doing anything else (by going to Menu->Exit) still stays in memory?

I am just wondering if there is something that you do in TrackMe that causes that problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sudermatt:
Any prognosis on when the intermediate GPS driver support will be in the program?

I am REALLY excited about using it.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but I haven't worked on this yet. I'll post it here as soon as I have some news.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
This is what happens:

Start - close -> no problem

Start - use cellID - start tracking - stop tracking - close -> no problem

Start - use GPS (Com 9 ,any baud rate) - start tracking - stop tracking - close -> stays in memory

So it seems it happens only if I use the internal GPS in my Trinity. This happens both when the GPS is managed by Windows or not. If I use the 'software port' I don't get any GPS response. I do get a response using the hardware port.

TomTom or other GPS programs don't have any problems with the settings I use, ie I connect to the hardware port (COM9) and no problems.

Maybe another Trinity user can shed some light on the settings that work.

If before closing I switch to CellID only it does not stay in memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, thanks for the information. I will do some extra testing to see if I'm leaving something open when using the GPS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adwinp:
Do you think it'd be a good idea to use flatfiles for the server too?

For my part, I'm usually using postgresl, and don't really like the idea of installing mysql just for trackme.

I installed TrackMe on ATT-Tilt (HTC Kaiser). But it is not able to connect to GPS. I have set up the GPS comport in settings.

Do I need to have user login/pwd on server to get it connected to GPS port ? I wanted to use it only for offline tracking i.e. to save data in file.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
staryon, have you moved up to a Fuze yet? My Tilt just flaked out and now I'm using a Fuze. I know this program will work on it and for that I'm grateful. Question though, can it run from MicroSD only? I assume it can, but thought I'd ask.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You don't need the user and pass to get it connected to the GPS.

What error do you get? Did you check the FAQ for possible solutions to connection problems?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah, I got the Fuze. I'm not too happy with it though. :(

Last time that I checked it I was able to use it from the MicroSD. I suppose it should still work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I'm not as happy with my Fuze as I was the Tilt either. I'm glad I'm not alone. The write up on the Touch Pro 2 looks very promising though! Thanks.

BTW, which ROM are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think it's one of those 'NATF...' something (I don't remember it exactly)

My main problems:

- The d-pad is useless. I cannot play any games with that and most of the time you never end up pressing the right key.

- I miss some hw buttons.

- I also miss a port for earphones. I hate to use a bluetooth device for this. I want something that you plug it in and you're done (I know they sell some adaptors but still don't like). Also sometimes you may lost the connectivity and suddenly the music goes out through the speakers and everybody starts looking at you! :)

- The GPS consumes too much battery comparing to the Tilt.

- It takes a very looooong time to get a fix and it looses the reception sometimes. (I tried all kind of different things but still no luck)

- And now I'm thinking than the Tilt was even faster than this but maybe it's just me.

When is the Touch Pro 2 coming out?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
End of year at the earliest from what I hear/read. Engadget did a write up on it a month or so ago.

I actually miss all the things you do about the Tilt. The jog wheel is one of my biggest misses now. I still have to reprogram the PTT button. I can't stand it. What's worse is that AT&T wants you to pay for that feature and won't let you disable it by default. D-pad, I like the zoom feature but always seem to hit the wrong button too. :(

I'm looking to get an 1800mAh battery to help minimize my battery issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tahdor:
Looks like username is "required". I had blank in the username. I put some junk string the in username/password and it connected to the GPS and found satellite.

When I deleted just the password (made it black), it stopped connecting. After inserting junk again, it can connect again. May be this is abug or may be feature. I have no problem eitherway, now that I know how to work around.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Biker1:
I posted previously that I was having a problem running this app on my sprint Diamond.

Is it possible to wakeup the phone at the time of GPS schedule ?

When the phone goes to sleep, TrackMe stops logging, which I believe will be the expected behavior. But this can be remedied, if you can put an event to wakeup phone if it is sleeping.

GPSToday is able to do that, but I like the fact that TrackMe is able to log the position even with one satellite instead of full 3D fix.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
By doing that the GPS will be turning on and off all the time, right?

I think I tried to do something like that sometime ago, but I wasn't too happy with the results and i didn't see any battery improvement either. In my opinion the screen off feature is good enough.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tahdor:
The screen off is good, but the phone goes to sleep after it's set time of 5 minutes (my power settings) after screen off and then tracking stops :-(.
