I love that I'm seeing development again! Really this is cool. Now it makes my turmoil even worse though. I'm thinking I want to move to iPhone just to make my life easier. I love seeing WP7 though because I'm open to it too. Now the hard choice is even harder.

Any work on iPhone on your end? I've communicated with the owner a few times just wondering if you had any new news.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
This is pretty much the only thing I miss from my WM phones. I look forward to the possibility that you might port this to it.

Thanks for your comments. I'm going to ask them right now about the iPhone version. As you know, I'm not involved on it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
This is the answer I just got:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] y0himba:
How about an Android version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
They don't plan for now. Maybe in a few months.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Would like an Android Version, too!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Need some help here...

If you guys like TrackMe, do you think you can help me by promoting the app by writing some reviews in the WP7 marketplace? You don't have to give me 5 stars, just what you consider to be fair.

There is a guy who just uploaded an app called Track_Me that has nothing to do with me and he posted a negative comment for mine. It just says 'so bad'.

Very stupid doing that, because it's so easy to trace it and find out he is a developer.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] y0himba:
I used Track Me for a LONG time on my Windows Phone. I now have an Android phone, but I can still vote right?

;)

On my way over there now...

EDIT: Scratch that, need a link, can't seem to find it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
As far as I know you need to have a Windows Phone. Thanks though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I just saw this, thanks for posting it!

I don't know if I can vote on the WP7 version, but I'll see what I can do. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately it seems nobody is interested on TrackMe for WP7 (even if it is free with no ads), so it has been kind of disappointing for me after working for weeks on this.

I don't think I will update this again unless there is something in particular I need when using it.

So...because of this I don't think I will work on an Android version. Too much work for nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
This just makes me sad. Android is a whole different market than Win7, so not sure you should base what the Android response would be on what it was for Win7.

But I do understand your reasoning though. It just makes me sad as this is the only thing from my WM phone, for which I have not found a suitable replacement.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] webvan:
Yes, unfortunately with WP7 MS made yet another mistake in their mobile strategy, losing WM fans in the process and offering nothing of interest to new customers compared to iOS or Android. I'm pretty certain you would get the same level of interest with an Android version as you got with the VM version...and then some.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Aren't there already other programs for Android that do what TrackMe does? I'm surprised they haven't done anything yet.

Maybe I should have gone with Android before WP7. It's kind of disappointing have spent so much time in learning a new technology and then developing this for nothing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bikooo3878:
Wow ... works perfectly!!! I just did a test walk around my office and it mapped it perfectly!!! Good work Staryon. I'm really eager to see how you did it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToneDEF_au:
Hang in there _LEM_, it's still early days for WP7; I'm sure you'll get users. Regrettably WM is on it's way out, that alone makes it worth learning its replacement...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your support guys...hopefully people will get more interested in the future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterpandesal06:
can someone tell me where is the download link for the andoid? i could not bother anymore to scan each page. thanks a lot mate! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
I have found some similar programs that do not provide nearly the same functionality that I remember from TrackMe.

Granted, I do not know if this is due to some limitations of the Android system or lack of vision or skills of the developers, or just a different focus on what the developers wanted to make.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
There is not a version of TrackMe for Android phones. That is what we are discussing here, if I should write it or not :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, I'm going to think about it again. Let's see if I can get an Android phone so I can play a little bit with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyberde:
I've also been searching for a long time but haven't found a replacement for trackme. I really like the fact that I can host it on my own webserver! No other piece of software does this :-(. Hopefully you will create a version for Android. It's a bigger market anyway, hehe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
Self-hosting is one of the nicer things about TrackMe. And while I don't know about everyone, I would definitely even pay for TrackMe on Android, though I obviously would prefer it to stay free. :D

--

Tapatalked from my X.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
me too... to both statements... i would pay for it, too! track me (and tomtom navigation) is, what keeps me on winmo for now...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Since I'm pretty new to Android...

Is it possible to develop an application with ads that doesn't go through the marketplace?

I would like to keep the program free but if I can get some revenue it would be even better :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
i'm new to android, too. but i would think, that the android market is THE way to get your program to the people... you could have two versions... one with adds and one without adds but maybe one extra feature and for a small payment... 1-3€ maybe. there a lot programs on the market like this... ... and btw. the android market and ms marketplace are not comparable. i've never downloaded one program over ms marketplace in years, but maybe 50 or 60 programs from the android market in the first month of usage... and i still have my hd2... i'm running andoid on sd atm... so i'm pretty sure your program will find it's way to the user a lot faster this way...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigggger:
The only thing i miss since replacing my WM phone is your program, if you could do a version for android that would be awesome.

Like others have said whilst there are other apps nothing matches yours in terms of features.

kb1313 is spot on, I never downloaded a single app from the windows marketplace but since getting an android phone I've downloaded loads. He's also right in that it's very common to have 2 versions of software a free one with ads and maybe a limited feature set and a full version for sale. I'd buy the latter :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PuppeJuputti:
+1 for Android version. I'm currently still using WM 6.5 because of Trackme. Then I could move to Android platform :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
There are actually a lot of programs on the market that have the full version free with ads and then a donate version that is exactly the same but gets rid of ads. There are also ones that are free if you go to the developer's web page but cost money on the marketplace. There are some that have a free version and donate version that are exactly the same.

In all of these cases, I have bought some apps. Some because the ad space was in the way, some because it is really worth it, and some because you should. Of course, I don't actually see any of the ads.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for the information guys. I installed the SDK and I'm playing with it a little bit. I will let you know if I decide to go ahead and work on a new version of TrackMe for Android.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyberde:
Awesome, I would even donate if you do.

I really miss TrackMe on my Android phone. And somehow MyTracks doesn't quite do what I want it to do (plus it uploads to google...).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] christophocles:
+1 for Android.. You will find a much more technical audience there that will actually appreciate the capabilities of this app. I jumped ship to Android (apparently along with most of the community here) and I'm never looking back. WP7 is not for me and neither is iOS. That said, if TrackMe was in the Android Market I would buy it. My server is still up and waiting for me to connect to it :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
_LEM_,

You know me from this thread for some time. I promise you that if you get a full blown version that give me the same functionality as the 6.x version does I'm in. I have to admit that and ad driven version wouldn't be my way. If it's my only option then I'd take it. However, I'd rather see a Lite version and a paid version.

The iPhone version is much akin to the best of vaporware. The developers tell me it's coming and they will have it up....

I'd move to Android tomorrow if you put out an Android version. I like the idea of iPhone for me because my house is loaded with iOS devices because of the rest of my family. I'm still holding out with my TP2 in hopes of this one single app being available on a platform I want.

I think it's awesome you put out a WP7 version, but it just doesn't appeal to me personally at all. In the least. Your app is awesome, WP7...

So if you cobble up an Android version and allow even the same functionality of the current version and me using my own server then I'm going to replace my phone in the moments following your beginning distribution. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments. I'm really considering start working on the Android version after reading so many comments. Thank you guys. I will let you know if this happens!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lemassykoi:
I agree, Android Version would be amazing. I'm currently using Google Maps with History instead of TrackMe, because of Android. My TrackMe Server is sleeping since 8 months. Help me to wake it up!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterpandesal06:
What app is this for? Sorry im a noob. Will this also work for my SGS4G? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyberde:
You could read the first post, theres a heading called description... Just a little hint ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] police22:
What is the latest on the Iphone Version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I haven't heard anything... very strange. At some point they said it was about to be released, but that was like a year ago. Not sure what happened. If you want to contact them the website is http://www.mobiletrackme.com/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmcourir:
+1 for a Android version of TrackMe ! I miss that software from WM 6.5. I'm a Google Android Fan and it would be nice to see TrackMe on the market. Even if it cost to have the software.

Thanks

Trackme in Stealth Mode comand line switch?

Hello gentlemen

I really this software but for some reason the "Start minimize/ Stealth mode" is not working on my Verizon Imagio WM 6.5 phone. I'm thinking to create/edit a shortcut to the startup folder with command line parameters or switch to minimize the Trackme if it can not minimize itself. for example in the shortcut properties it should have "\program files\Trackme\Trackme.exe -StartMinimze" but I do not know the syntax to replace the word "-StartMinimize" so that it can minimize trackme when start. anyone knows how to do this or a work around please help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yeah...the start minimized/stealth mode doesn't work on some models. I never found a solution for this. I hope somebody can give you some information about the parameters for that workaround that you propose.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] topo:
+1 For an Android version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Well..then I have good news for you! :)

The company that acquired TrackMe for WM has asked me to write a version for Android so I will start working on this in the next few weeks! :cool:

By the way, the interest for the WP7 is growing so I plan to release a new update soon too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
That is very good news! I really do want the iPhone version...but will get Android if I must. I'm so ready to dump my Tilt2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] websurf:
Anyone know what is the Trackme Command ID for Start Tracking. just like when you touch the Start when trackme is loaded? The reason I asked because I want to use Mortscripts to start Trackme. I know Trackme has the option to Start tracking when program start. Does anyone know that command id?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
UPDATE!

I just submitted an update for the WP7 version. This new release will let you to force an update (you can choose an icon and a comment). It also fixes some problems with phones where regional settings use a comma instead of a dot.

It should be available in the next few days.

Enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PuppeJuputti:
Any news about Android version? This is only program that I miss at windows mobile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm probably getting the phone this week. Hopefully I will start working on it the next one.

Track me for Android

That would be amazing if an android version was produced!

I've been using the windows mobile version on my old phone for a charity bike ride we do across Europe every year, and it really does work a treat! It would be great if I only had to take one phone..

Thanks for your help, and if you need any assistance testing it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Android version is looking good so far. I have been able to read from the GPS and upload the data to the server.

Now I need to work in the offline mode, user settings and interface.

Hopefully I will have something soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flipfone:
Android users are waiting! i used this app a few years ago on my Treo and loved it. Cant wait to have it again thanks man!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Karol-pl:
can't wait too, till it will come for green robot ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Well, I finally gave in a moved to the iPhone 4S. I'm really hoping this comes to the iPhone as the guys said it would... Until then, I'll just tether my Tilt2 to it for the times I really want my track data and go from there.

Thanks for all your hard work LEM, I appreciated it and still do. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
So you moved to the dark side..uh? ;)

Regarding the iPhone version I don't know anything yet. As you know I am not involved on it.

I would like to release the Android version in a couple of weeks. It will not have all the features yet though.

I hope we can see you around one day in the future! Thanks for all your help when developing TrackMe for WM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xda-kungfu:
This is excellent news. I have moved to Android simply for the morse code keyboard but still carry WM for TrackMe (uploading to my own server)

If a version was eventually available for Android with the same features then :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mousi:
Can't wait for the android version :) Trackme is one of the only two apps that I miss since I moved to android. The other one is iGO 8.3
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
The Dark Side, yeah I did. For me the hacking of phones got bland and lost value. WP7 didn't do it for me and Android would have been too much work. I guess you could say I got lazy and don't want to "play" with my phone as much.

I still would likely get your Android version though. Still thinking of getting an Android phone as a beater. Maybe even put it back on my Tilt2...

It was truly my pleasure to help out as much as I could. I still will help as much as I can if ever the guys working on the iPhone version work with me. :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hopefully we'll see you again in the future if you get an Android.

Here are a couple of screenshots. I will try to start testing it next week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peeping_Tom:
Hi. I am new in trackme.

I am interested to use my own server. What kind of license is trackme server? Can I modify it for hobby non commercial project?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi. Yes, you can make any modifications as long as you don't use it for commercial purposes.

By the way, if you plan to make improvements, fixing problems or adding new features you can always share it with the community!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Yeah, on top of what _LEM_ said you can also look to this thread for help with the server side development: TrackMe's web development and user plugins. Developers welcome!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The new version for Android will be released next week. I am in the testing process now. As you can imagine it doesn't have all the features from the original TrackMe for WM yet, but if you guys keep interested I will plan to add them all.

I will create a new post in the Android development forum once it gets released.

You can also follow TrackMe on twitter
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] akpe:
Great news! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] websurf:
LEM

regarding to Trackme for WM. Can you add the logging feature to it? The program is already running in the back ground and monitoring the location by the mean of GPS. Can you also make it to monitor call and SMS as well by logging all incoming and outgoing of call and SMS to a text file or something in that nature?

Thank you very much a fantastic software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi websurf,

I'm afraid that the Windows Mobile 6.5 version won't be updated for a while... I'm focused on the Windows Phone and Android version and that's really taking all my time now! Thanks for your suggestion though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ANDROID VERSION NOW AVAILABLE!!

I just published it in the marketplace. Not sure when it will show up.

I also created a post in the Android forums. Please use that thread from now on.

Here is the link

I hope people like it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mira.minkova:
Awsome!

Awesome work, LEM! Thanks for all the effort! :)

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

I read some of the pages on this thread which discuss this issue but still I cannot find out -

why can I not filter by date, maybe I am doing something wrong.

I change the dates and then what do I press? whichever of the buttons I click, they revert back to the old dates and I see the whole trip....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi Mira

I just tried and it seems to work ok. Does the calendar show up? Does the date/time change in the text boxes?

Basically when you have the time you want, you click on the X to close the pop up calendar and then click on Show to display the track.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.bryce:
i recently came back to using this app on my windows mobile 6.5 phone

i forgot my username and password from 2008-2009, all my tracking was stored on luis's server. i wish there had been a regular email password recovery procedure.

would it be possible to extract the data to a KML file saved locally ? why does it have to be uploaded to a website ?

it would be way more convenient for me to just backup kml files, rather than setup a website and the associated port forwarding on my computer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you give me your username I can try to generate a new password for you. You can send me your info to the email that appears here:

http://luisespinosa.com/contact_eng.html

On the WM version there is an option to export the KML locally.

Here it is:

Hope that works for you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.bryce:
LEM you re a life savior tkvm!

i had tried that local export but it said error creating remote kml file: an error message is available etc...

i had checked the faq and installed the .net messages and tried again.

that time the error was "error creating kml file: retry in 167sec"

--;

i searched on the sdcard, documents, and program files\trackme folders, no kml file to be found. i just assumed it didnt work that way.

what am i doing wrong ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Doesn't it give you more details about the error message? Does it work when you create the file remotely?

I think it is stored in the folder where you have TrackMe running. I don't have a WM phone with me so I cannot really check it right now. Maybe another user who still uses the program can give you more details.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ahhl:
i tried to check whether the line can exist on google but i can only see one dot not the track. is there any reason why i cannot see the track. i just test using your track

http://www.luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/johndoe.kml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vivek.krishnan:
Excellent work, mate! This might be reason enough to bring my old i780 out of hibernation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mira.minkova:
Thanks very much for replying, Lem. The calendar shows correctly, I can select date. But as soon as I press the Show button the dates revert back to their previous state.

the site is here: krikri.bg/gpstracks

is it possible that it is the browser or something hm... IE 9?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.bryce:
nope thats all i have as an error message :(

i understand now its downloading from the server... thats not going to work for me :'( i had hoped for a direct sql extraction as i m about to cancel my 3g data plan.

Yes i was able to export a kml file from the website.

yep, in my case it goes to program files\trackme.

the problem i had was with the new account (mrbryce)

i changed the credentials to the old account and now it downloads just fine.

changing subject,

there is a glitch in kml export you might be interested in. (you can test this on my old account)

when i go on the website and select trip <any> then click show,

then choose kml export, it exports an empty KML file (with headers only, no coordinates, 3Kb)

if i select a specific trip, then it exports just fine. (<100Kb per trip, total 200Kb, most coordinates are not part of any trip)

i tried today to export trip <any> from the winmo6.5 client, and the kml file contains all the coordinates ^^ (2Mb)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It seems that track has only one position. You should upload more data to see the line.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks! If you have an Android or WP7 there are versions of TrackMe for them.

WM version is kind of discontinued...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You're right. I just tried your site and had that problem. I tried with Firefox.

It's strange why works on my site and not on yours. I didn't write the web viewer so it's hard for me telling you where is the problem. I know that the person who wrote it used javascript for the calendars. Maybe you have an outdated version? I don't really know... I hope somebody can give some ideas. Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yeah...everything is generated on the server, so it needs to be downloaded first.

Regarding the problem with the web viewer...it's hard to tell. As I just mentioned in a previous post I didn't write it and the persons who worked on them haven't heard from them in a long time.

If the new Android version gets more and more popular I plan to rewrite it myself (unless people from the community wants to modify the existing one)

The <Any> option is kind of dangerous using it... Actually I don't think it should be there. It can be huge and kill completely the browser!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mira.minkova:
anyways...I will post back here when I find the issue. Thanks, Lem
