if i understand correctly, TrackMe creates a KML named MYUSERNAME.KML in 2 scenarios:

1) when it uploads new points while "Live Tracking" (assuming you checked "Generate a KML file" "When a new position is recieved:" )

2) You manually export a specific trip.

in both cases, the KML created is named MYUSERNAME.KML, correct?

if so, something is not working right...because it seems that when "Live Tracking", there is no new KML being created, at least with that name, because GE is not showing the new positions....it requires a manual export of a trip to get GE to display the new positions :confused:

FYI, i'm using your server, and have GE pointed to (with my actual username, not MYUSERNAME :D) : http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/MYUSERNAME.kml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Remember that you need to refresh the link with Google Earth. You can have GE to do it automatically by modifying the properties of the link.

police22,

I know how it feels when nobody answers your question, but you have to understand a lot of people visit this thread and if nobody answered is because probably they don't know how to resolve that issue.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] police22:
I do understand that, but you implemented the code that was suggested to fix the sub domain in an earlier version of server. I looked at the file on the new server.zip and code shows it.. But does not work on my server.. Is anyone else use a sub domain? or is it my server on why its not working.. Its no big deal, just curious now as to why its not working or just reloads login page.. maybe something in .htaccess file or something..

Will look at it when I get home.. ;)

I have been up since 4am this morning driving to Rockford then Chicago and now im home in okc.. Long day.. Guess I may of misread it the other day..:eek:

I know I saw the sub domain in it so .. :o

*Well Nevermind* It was in the .htaccess, there was a part of code that I had used from along time ago that was obsolete.. So did some rearranging and it works.. :eek:

Sorry I bothered you..:o

You should not install the software in the storage card. You need to reinstall it in the internal memory

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys,

Today I have been researching about displaying maps inside the application, so I can show where you are located every time a GPS position is received.

However, I have no luck finding the right tool. In my application I can place a Pocket IE component, so I can browse web pages.

Unfortunately it doesn't work if I try to open a web page containing a Google Map or a Virtual Earth map.

If I try these 2:

http://luisespinosa.com/temp/google.html

http://luisespinosa.com/temp/virtualearth.html

They work fine on my desktop, but not with PocketIE. I think it's because PIE uses a simplified javascript subset.

I also found that I can use a MapPoint web service. The problem is this service is not free and rather expensive.

Do you guys know any other options that I can try?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
My only question is why? Google Maps works great on WM devices. Why reinvent the wheel? You can run Google Maps or Windows Local Mobile at the same time TrackMe is running if you need realtime mapping. What benefit would it give?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Also a request Staryon, can you fix the trip autoname to specify:

Trip_YY.MM.DD_HH.MM.SS_PM

vs

Trip_MM.DD.YY_HH.MM.SS_PM

It would make sorting the trip names much easier if the year were in front of the month.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
Ignore my previous post. Jcleek must have been modifying his page as I was trying it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's true too... I just thought it could be easier in having integrated all together, so it's easier to swap between TrackMe and GoogleMaps.

Anyway, maybe it's not needed....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
jcleek, I prefer to use a more international format. Having MM.DD.YY can be confusing for some countries. Maybe I can create the names based on the regional settings...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
I'd have to agree. I think by adding in too much functionality it would be loosing two of the best things about the program - its simplicity and the fact that it's not bloatware.

Keep it simple (yet functional) is my motto.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Ok guys, test.php is gone. The live page is now the complete package.

DO NOT download this file!!! I hosed it. Look in the next post...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
I wish this board would let you delete attachments...

Click here to get the current index.php file. I will be updating the install package later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
That seems ideal. Just one quick question - are you getting the trip names from the DB or are you naming them yourself? The only reason I ask is that the date is the wrong way round for me. Today is 15/11 here in the UK.

Good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
I get the trip names directly from the trips table in teh database. Those are named by the WM application directly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
by the way, just for fun I added an option to show on the map your last uploaded position (using a MapPoint web service) .

It works fine but it adds like 60KB to the executable.

Since you guys don't like this, I will take it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndyInFl:
Staryon,

I did as you asked and got mixed results. Exported data with Trip = NONE creates the route.kml file but it only creates what appears to be the header info. The other two exports create what seems to be normal data filled files.

The messages I typed in the previous post occur on screen as soon as I press start. The same 4 lines appear in a repetitive loop.

What should I try next?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Could you try to click on START and run it for a while but disabling the Realtime tracking?

I want to see if at least all the GPS positions are stored correctly.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndyInFl:
Staryon,

I think you are on to something. Two lines now appear:

Storing 26.xxx,-80.xxx...

Position added correctly.

(Repeat)

(Repeat)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks AndyInFl

hmm... so the error is in the Export function (it's called when you do Realtime Tracking). However I don't understand why it doesn't fail when you call the Export function directly...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Andy, I sent you a PM. Could you try that version?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndyInFl:
I removed the previous version and installed the one you sent. You have corrected the boolean error message.

After pressing START, Four lines appear now in repetition:

Storing 26.xxx,-80.xxx...

Position added correctly.

Generating local .kml file.

.kml file generated correctly.

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndyInFl:
Great job!

I was able to open the file and watch the neighborhood appear!

Thanks to all for the work so far and keep going! As a boater and a person who enjoys traveling off the beaten path with the four wheeler, I can leave a trail for someone to "come to the rescue" if one day I don't make it "home for dinner."

UPDATE

Just to let you know that the Smartphone conversion is in good shape.

Hopefully I will finish it by the end of this weekend and I will start testing it next week.

I didn't want to have 2 separate versions (one for touchscreens and another one for non touchscreens) so I'm preparing a version that is compatible with both. I had to change some parts of the GUI though, but I think know it's even easier to navigate through the menus.

confirmed on another computer with GE installed the same behavior...if this is how TrackMe is to perform now, the statement in the Documentation, "Google Earth always shows the latest position", should probably be deleted :rolleyes:

is anyone else using Staryon's server experiencing the same behavior in GE?....are you getting live tracking in GE without having to manually export positions?

offroad driving and trekking offline tracking

Sorry for may be stupid question but I am not big computer and PDA fan just simple user.

We are speleologist groups working often in Bosnia, Macedonia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey ... In these countries good topo maps for gps tracking do not exist. God thanks google maps satellite view with improved resolution is what we need.

I need find some navigating and tracking solution. Navigation in this case is that I see my position and try find some field roads, paths avoiding cliffs, rivers, looking on highest resolution in google earth or maps.

Problem is that in field I do not have any internet connection and often I do not have even GSM connection /3G is not there/. So I need in advance download and store maps for region where we will move, if I do not have them go to next point with GSM signal /if I can not access city with internet/ and download (data roaming in these countries is US $12-16/MB!!) maps.

I have no idea how much MB I will "use" but I am afraid of it.

Possible solutions:

1. Laptop with Google Earth and Goops for tracking. Here I can store data 2 GB but real problem is when we leave car and start trekking - this is not convenient use it climbing on rocks, during rain, not speaking about possible damage. Rugged ones are very heavy.

2. PDA or smartphone like HTC toucch HD. Here I have problems with offline software used by tracking and if is possible somehow store google maps on it.

On contrary, it will be easier to transport and use during walking periods. I am a bit afraid of small screen /for orientation I need see enough around my position/ but probably I can live with it.

Do you think that Track Me will be usable for us? Or it will not work for us but you know some other software? Thanks for any suggestion or advice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigggger:
I did put the latest version of the server files on as well, double checked the database.sql file to see if there was any differences to my config and found that it had

`Speed` double default '0',

whereas mine had

`Speed` double NOT NULL default '0',

I remember selecting 'upgrade' during the installation, my guess is it didn't change that one, anyway appears to be working now I've altered it.

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

TrackMe is a tracking tool. It's not intended for navigation.

It works in offline mode, so you don't need to have an internet connection.

I recommend you to take a look at TrackMe's website to check its features. That will give you an idea if it can be useful for you.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I don't think the upgrade button works. The person who wrote that plugin has not updated that in a long time so you will have to make the database updates manually.

I always post the SQL commands when a database update is required. It should be included in one of my previous posts.

Let me know if you cannot find it and I'll try to find it.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] speleolog:
I looked there but sorry I am not able see there replies to my questions.

Navigation better path finding for me is to see my actual position and to be able "look around" on google satellite pictures and find the way. It is not common point to point navigation but how to call it?

If it is not possible somehow download or store google maps and than use Track me to see my movements and position in them it is bad for me.

If it works offline fine but I will not see the google maps (because they are not stored in PDA) than it is not usefull for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm sorry. TrackMe doesn't store any maps on the PDA.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] speleolog:
Yes, but it is some another way (sofware) how to do it?

On laptop data in Google earth are automatically stored (up to 2 GB) so it is enough simple look on region prior travel. How it is in PDA, somebody knows?

If there is way how to store maps than Tracke me can be used offline.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobsys:
Yes there is.

What you need is a navigation program and for your purpose the best is OZI Explorer for PDA. As far as maps is concerned you have different choices. You can find appropriate maps for the area you are in on internet or you can make your own maps. You can even prepare maps at home on your PC using Google satellite maps. A program called GoogleOzi can create calibrated maps that you put on your PDA and use in the field. You could even take a picture with a digital camera of any paper map you have and calibrate that map with Ozi to use in the field. You can obtain OziExplorer and GoogleOzi in trial versions for free but yu will be limited in resolution. However the free versions get you started. I use these programs for Geocaching and hiking and the full versions are simply amazing. You can log your tracks, analyze details, make hight , speed and distance curves or whatever you like. It takes some hours to learn but you will just love it. If you sent me a personal message with your email I can give you more details to get you started. TrackMe is something very different but not designed for your needs. All you need is a PDA and a GPS plus create your maps.

Server-Problems

I tried to install trackme on different of my servers, but without success.

PDA is a TyTnII with Trackme 4.14.8.113, which is runnig fine by itself and with the standard server http://luisespinosa.com/trackme.

I followed the installation instructions. First install and config with install.php works fine.

I deleted install.php and database.sql files as per the instructions.

Now when I access the chosen directory on my server, I always get the following error-message:

---------------

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/abcd/public_html/trackme/index.php on line 45

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/abcd/public_html/trackme/index.php on line 47

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/abcd/public_html/trackme/index.php on line 49

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/abcd/public_html/trackme/index.php on line 51

One or more TrackMe tables in your database are empty. You must generate data by running the TrackMe application on your Windows Mobile device before the map display will work properly.

----------------------------------------------

When I set TrackMe on the PDA to the server-path, I get the error message 'User didn't exist and system was unable to create it'.

Any ideas on how to get this baby working?

The server has PHP-Version: 5.2.6 and MySQL-Version: 5.1.26-rc

Thanks for your help

Sansibar
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You should be able to access the server, even though there is no data yet. If you can't do that, don't bother from the PDA side.

Did you run the sql file to populate the database? Have you checked your config.php file for the proper MySQL parameters? host, database, user, pass.. Have you verified them to be correct by attempting to use them yourself? ie: mysql database -uuser -ppassword

This is assuming you did create a database, give the user you've configured access to write/modify etc said database?

SQL/Compact Framework Problem (Yes, I researched...)

Ok, so I'm clueless as to what I should try next.

I get the error message:

""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 looked around xda AND I googled, and here is what I have tried:

-Reinstalling the 3.5 Compact Framework. (When I try, it says I already have the Framework installed on ROM.)

-Install the registry fix that is supposed to fix the error, found here:

Q-Mobile's 3.5 SQL Fix

I looked at what the registry fix did, and it changed the path of the SQL CF GAC File, and saw that these were the ONLY files I had in my "\Windows\" directory:

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Configuration_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Utilities_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

GAC_Microsoft.WindowsMobile_v1_0_0_0_cneutral_1.dll

So, ok...I re-install the file:

sqlce30.ppc.wce5.armv41.cab

It says the file installs correctly. I go back to my "\Windows\" directory, and see that the above GAC file is still no-where to be found.

* sigh *

Any idea's anyone?!?!?! I reallllllllllly can't figure this one out.

Thanks in Advance :(

I think something got corrupted with the installation.

I'm not sure what else you can try. I would just make a hard reset of the device but yes... I know that should be the last option... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Get GPSTuner, probably the best software for this. You can use any JPG map that you can prepare in advance, calibrate using the supplied tool and store on the PDA's memory card. It will then always automatically load the map corresponding best to your location and zoom level. It can also use Google sat data it automatically fetches on the net, and caches for later use. So you could connect your device via wifi at home, browse the relevant areas at different zoom levels and the cache would stay there for offline use.

It will also store your track for later viewing for example in google earth, and give you all the stats you'd want.

I find it more comfortable to use than OziExplorer, it has a few more features and a couple it lacks, and is also cheaper (no need to buy a PC side program, common free programs can be used instead).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
While we're on this off-topic thread, I might as well throw in my suggestion for PathAway. It has a conversion utility that's easy to use, plus PathAway itself is pretty easy to use, and the Version 5 looks and operates pretty nicely.

I've tried to use Ozi Explorer and it has options everywhere and none of them make any sense. I've used quite a few map calibration tools and none of them come close to Ozi Explorer when it comes to confusing options and settings.

Hi khaytsus

I finally figured it out. My provider has different internal and external host names. Installation of trackme worked fine with the internal name, but only with the correct external host name is trackme working fine now on the server. Thanks for your help.

Good deal, Thanks.

I will let my friend know and to have him install on BJII and give you feedback.. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Yay! This isn't just a nice change for smartphones, as I often prefer to navigate to do some items.

Do you want feedback yet on what isn't working with the D Pad? I went through many of the screens last night and found that some of them had no D-pad navigation in them, some of them it would get 'stuck' on drop-downs, etc..

I like the new prefs.. Easier to navigate. I've always hated the Windows Mobile scrolling-tabs UI for stuff, it's hard to move from tab to tab without poking the tiny tab a few times.

FYI, I don't have a smartphone, I was using my Tilt and exclusively trying to adjust things/navigate via the dpad.
