Great and thanks wafwot.

Trackme seems to be developping at light speed and is probably a tool that will be around for some time.

At one point someone needs to completely split the webserver pages into a design part (template) and a code part which does the magic. This is something that every online tool sooner or later is facing. Soon there wil be hundreds of Trackme Server installation and every webmaster will want his custom design to fit with his website. It is impossible for webmasters to keep

track of the daily changes at the speed they currently evolve.

There are plenty of php template engines that allow for default and custom templates and do not touch the core code of the application.

Maybe wafwot can do this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wafwot:
A bigger problem is PHP's setlocale is usually set from the server, and not all servers have all locales installed/compiled. http://www.onphp5.com/article/22 talks about PHP's pitfalls with localization, if you want to read more.

There's javascript methods for finding language and locale, but I really think it's more work than it's worth. Honestly, I run Linux on my machines. My phone is my only computer with Windows. My browser is Firefox, and I use an extension/add-on called NoScript which disables javascript on pages (but allows me to keep a "whiltelist" of trusted sites). Call me paranoid if you must. :rolleyes:

For the most part, people posting positions will be based in one locale, and the visitors to their trackme page will also be in the same locale. Storing static date format in the config file is good enough. Trying to find the language or locale from the browser isn't worth the additional file size, IMHO.

Hi, guys. Need a little help.

I've got exception

when I just start TrackMe.exe installed on my E-ten X500.

I googled that it's SQL dll's but can you tell me exactly what do I need to install?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I don't agree, I have more than 600 users on my server, and they are located everywhere not only in the US and UK.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Try copying this file in the TrackMe folder:

http://luisespinosa.com/temp/System.Data.SqlServerCe.dll
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmig:
It's allready there since install
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Do you have Compact Framework V2.0 installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wafwot:
Heh! I've been thinking about this for some time. I've used Smarty before for a big stupid dating web site I was tasked to do, which never got off the ground. The template engine is great, but with the database we should probably use PEAR and that's just opening a big hair can of worms for a mashup that was supposed to be fairly simple. Even though it's under PHP's umbrella, Rasmus Lerdorf doesn't like the use of template engines (he told me so himself at a Linux Convention a few years back!).

A simpler method would be to simply use PHP's include. Put the top of the TrackMe page in a "header.inc" file, and the bottom of the page in a "footer.inc" file, then use

<php?
include 'header.inc';
?>
<TrackMe code>
<php?
include 'footer.inc';
?>

...or something like that. That should make it easy to create your look and feel, use your own style sheets, javascript, etc. Leaving those files empty should allow you to include the TrackMe code in an existing template system or blog system.

Just idea here... I could be full of it. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmig:
Yes I have
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wafwot:
Ah, Staryon... that's why I said "for the most part." You're a special case. ;)

Damn John Lydgate and his "pleasing all of the people all of the time" quote...

Your program needs SQL CE installed or .NET CF 2 only ? Or SQL CE is included in .Net CF?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sparrowhawk:
I've just installed TrackMe and given it a trial run, I'm pretty blown away!

Thank you for a great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alpharom:
Hi Staryon,

Great product by the way. Is there any chance of this running as a service in the background(stealth)? I need the program to start up automatically when the user switches their unit on. Putting a link in the startup works ok but I need the display to be hidden thats why I suggested to set as a service. Obviously, accessing in the programs menu would not be a problem as the units are locked down once started.

Here's hoping!!

Alpharom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
add to wish list

display Avg Speed: 2.84 mph and Dist. Traveled: 8.33 miles

in metric ( km/h and km )

maybe there is a way as well to select this in config.php or based on browser settings . . .

looks like we have to go for an internationalization...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I thought it was included with .NET CF 2, because on my kaiser I didn't have to install anything extra, and you just need the dll that is included with the program but maybe I'm wrong.

Please let me know if you find out something. I will keep researching on this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Added to TO-DO list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, I think that too.

On the client side, in the configuration there is a parameter called 'Do not upload consecutive points if distance is less than X meters' and another one that I'm using for GeoFence (version not available yet)

I will have to change those.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
I cheated and updated the comment field via a query. ;)

If I had attempted to do that on the PDA, I am sure I would have made a typo anyways (and would have to change it in the database anyways).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Thank you for adding these and especially the "Clear the Selected Trip on Exit"! I so often forgot to re-select "None" in configuration and ended up getting my trips combined!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You're welcome. I used to have the same problem too!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wildorchid:
I agree with you. Still everything on display should be configurable without having to touch the PHP code. For example in Europe we use km and kmh and not miles and mph.

Need to seperate the functions into a functions.php and use PHP include.

Any hardcoded phrase or word needs to go into into a lang file which can be translated into any language and any hardcoded output needs to be changed into a configurable var and put into the config.php e.g. for switching miles into kmh, date format etc.

Above is less complex then smarty.

If we have this I volounteer to translate the lang file into German.

What do you think?

GeoFence ? Cool, so i can define fences and sent alerts when i reach/leave them ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruchot_:
Hello,

I've got an issue with the latest version of TrackMe (PocketPC side). Remote connections don't work well anymore ;( I've tried to upload to my own server and to luisespinosa.com server. Sometimes positions are successfully uploaded and sometimes not ... The same with offline positions ... Here are the messages : "Unable to upload position", "Offline process finished" , "Some positions have not been uploaded" , etc.

Any idea ?

Thx :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Exactly. At this moment, email alerts showing the distance to the target and a link to Google Maps showing the current location.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's basically a connection problem, either with your phone, my server (which is not great) or yours. I have always had random problems, but it's because my phone coverage is not very good depending on the area. It's not a problem with TrackMe and it should be normal get timeouts sometimes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] planetibo:
I want that the map fuulscreen.

I have a html google map API with:

<body onload="load()" style="height:100%;margin:0">

<div id="map" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;"></div>

This is so fun, because the map take all width and heignt of the screen.

But this lines don't work i the index.php of trackme server..

Why?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Staryon has a new version for testing. If it works ok he will post it.

Changes:

1) Added new language.php and language setting in the config.php. We will need people to translate but it is pretty easy to see what needs to be changed.

2) Added a units option in the config.php for imperial or metric. This will control all displays of speed, distance and altitude

This really offers no new functionality but does make it more internaltionally friendly.

Comments?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruchot_:
Ok, I'll have a further look as I've never had these problems before.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I_Need_help:
Hi this looks VERy good.

However I'm trying to load it on my own server and I get

ERROR: config.inc can not be opened. You need to edit it manually.

I have changed all the pemisions I can but still get this error, its shared hosting!

What does a manualy created config.inc look like?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
It's config.php....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cruchot_:
Ok, I'm dumb, sorry. As I made a lot of tests my connection settings went wrong ... This new version works better than I lol :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Current version of the server display is 1.05. Staryon has the files and will post when he gets a chance to test. For 1.05 you will need to replace:

index.php

config.php

language.php
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I_Need_help:
thanks for your quick reply jcleek.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
just a second guys, I just got here.

I will post the files in shortly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:

It works great, jcleek!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
Good work

Great Work, Guys. Yesterday i mentioned it, today we have it ....

There was an error in language.php

instead of elif($language == "spanish")

there was an

if($language == "spanish")

that caused alwas to display english when selected languages other than spanish ....

find attached corrected language.php with german translations
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot, bottkars!!

I'm going to add the Spanish translation and I will upload the files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, files updated.

There are still some texts in English. Not a big deal, we can correct that later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
had a typo : It bsay "Entferneung" for Distance, but needs to be "Entfernung". have a new one attached.

in the index.php, can we change the metrics text for speed from kph to km/h ?

and, i have a serious problem with my todays data: from a certain point it say "nan Kilometers" for Distance . . . mybe some wrong data uploaded ?

hey guys,

I found the solution for the problem that some people had when running the program on non Kaiser/Tilt PDAs...

If you are not using a Kaiser/Tilt PDA, you may get the following error when running TrackMe: Can't find PInvoke sqlceme30.dll.

In order to fix that problem download and install this file on your PDA. That file is for Windows Mobile 5 with ARM processors. If you still have the same problem after installing it,

let me know and I will give you the specific version that you need.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, I think I will pass a parameter from TrackMe specifying the unit.

something like...

http://luisespinosa.com/export.php?type=kml?unit=metric
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Just don't change the actual database data. If you store it in another unit from what is there the web display calculations will all need to change.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I_Need_help:
hi

I'm trying to get this running on my own (shared hosted server!)

The PPC app creates the username and Password ok in the mysql5 db. All other tables are empty.

but I get the following error on the PPC:

"error uploading position:An error message cannot be displayed because an optiona....." and the rest has run of the screen.

Searching this thread I have found referance to a PHP.INI file but I don't have one and don't know what should go in it to create it manualy, if indeed this is the issue!!! sorry I know next to nothing about PHP :(

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's probably a connection error to the server. If you want to see a detailed description of the error messages, you can install this package on your PDA:

Hope it helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
1.06 sent to Staryon.

Changes:

1) Changed text for kph to km/h

2) Added spanish language data

3) Corrected german language data
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I_Need_help:
Thanks for the file I have copied it to my MDA and ran it it said it installed but I can find no new App, running the TrackMe app now shows:

Cannot create Trip

How is the data writen to the server ? is it all written via Query Strings?

Or is via webservice or ftp?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

I like this feature, would be better to know the distance to a specific buddy (if you know their user id). Could this be added?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roks:
Hi,

I will be travelling in couple of weeks, no gps maps exist for that area in Asia, just wanted to know if it would be possible to view the routes on the Kaiser via google maps.

So I'll have EDGE/GPRS connection for internet access.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
There is no new application. It's just a library for Windows. Now you can see the description of the error messages with TrackMe.

Data is sent by Query Strings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I didn't do it for privacy reasons. However, I could add an option to set your position public or private, so you can do what you asked for.

However, this feature didn't seem to have too much interest, because I didn't got any feedback after adding it. For that reason I don't think I will add what you asked for soon, because there are so many other things to do first.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you have Google Maps installed on your PDA, you can go to Search and enter there the URL of the KML file generated by TrackMe. It will display your route.

However, Google Maps has a limitation with the number of pushpins that are displayed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roks:
Can I point to the local kml file on the PDA?

Is it possible to install google earth on a pda?

Also, I thought google map was web base thing on the search page?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tiptoekirk:
You live in the DC area it appears... I know that route very well the Greenway.. I plan on testing this software and I will will give you feedback! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peter7:
Hello - is this software also working with google maps ???

Thanks myrin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Not yet. At this moment only with Google Earth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] powerppc:
The GPS Turns off if you power down the device. However, with this program, it keeps the light on unless you tell it to shut the screen off. The GPS will still be on with the screen off and sending data.

Staryon did a good job implementing the screen off. I have a button that is remapped to turn the screen off. I have this gps tracking on all the time and it doesn't waste that much more battery since it's set to 15m to not send data.

Staryon, Is there a way to automatically turn off the screen, to save more battery rather than manually push a button?

Keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Absolutely AWESOME app! Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, I was planning in adding that too. At this moment I'm working on this special mode where everything is stored locally instead of uploading to a server. As soon as I finish with that, I will implement that function.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Is this program about the same as This?

It logs your GPS route and export it to Google earth.

Tabs "route", "Location", "Settings" and the "info"probely äbout"

This program only works on Pocket PC with build-in GPS like the HTC P3600
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] panosha:
Any English version or link ? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] powerppc:
That program looks like it's for off-line tracker and the kml or gpx can be exported to Google Earth for review. I don't think it's real time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Yeah is is offline. I basically don't need realtime since I am not using GPRS. But as I said it isn't still working with seperate GPS-receivers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jewcookie:
This app is pretty cool, I tested it when i walked a block around my house when my dad was following me on screen. He opened the door for me when i walked in front of the house. :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] padawan:
Nice app. Only (bug) maybe is that it cannot connect to your webserver unless i already have made a connection with pie then everything works.

Would be nice to link the kml data to google maps.

I'm out...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Matt-Helm:
I'm looking forward to getting these files as well!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] padawan:
Google maps...

From what I read on google maps you are supposed to be able to access your kml data from maps.google.com in the search box. Would make sense since that is what Google Earth is doing (as it appears).

I tried it and the response was "http://luisespinosa.com:80/... could not be displayed because it contains errors."

Anyone else try this yet?

I'm out...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, I just tried it and you're right, it doesn't work. I am going to get a KML that works with Google Maps and I will compare it with the one that I generate, just to see if there are some differences.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Updates...

I'm working on a new version that lets you to choose if you want to store your data in a local file or on a remote server.

Also, when you generate KML files you will be able to choose where you want it. (local or remote). So even if you all your data is stored locally, you will be able to place the KML file on a remote server.

By the way.... how do you guys think I should call the data that I get from the GPS? My English is not great and I want to name it in such a way that can be understood by anybody.

Locations? Points? Positions? Fixes?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] while(!(linux)){wm}:
"Fixes" makes sense to me. "positions" also works. Maybe "GPS Fixes"? "GPS Position Fixes"?

I haven't looked at this thread for a few days. You're really doing great, Staryon! Thanks for implementing my suggestions. I also would like to specify the extension in the URL. I usually use .cgi

Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] while(!(linux)){wm}:
Staryon,

Another thing i noticed is that when i put my Kaiser in landscape mode, i can't scroll down in the configuration menu. Would it be possible to add a scroll bar?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
some wishes

wow, this is so damn fast here.

jcleek,

for the google maps stuff,maybe we can as well do a language variable for the units, because we have like miles = Meilen, kilometers=Kilometer or km for German, i think Spain is as well different.

I have seen in the Maps API that there i a method to decide the Numbers of points, here pushpins, to use by the zoom level to allow for faster loading. since i do a lot of crossbiking at an average of 25Km/h, i have a lot of pins wich dramatically slows down Performance. Maype we can as well display only the Grid Line and Forced Points ?

just a suggestion.

have a look at attached kml and you will see what i mean ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Your KML will not load in Google Maps so I can not see your example. How about just making a screenshot and posting it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, it works. Go to maps.google.com and enter this :

http://luisespinosa.com/temp/bike.kml

By the way, I'm already testing the new version. New features:

- Geofence

- Ability to select the unit (metric/english)

- For remote storage you can choose not to upload anything and store everything in the remote file. This is good if you know that you are not going to have internet connection and you don't want to be trying to reconnect all the time. Later you can upload this offline data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
Man .... Could be a tough week.... Schaps doing his first Kaiser ROM and you a new TRACKME ..... Great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
Here we go ... thats what´s the deault zoom level ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
bottkars, why do you need so many pushpins?

Maybe you should increase the value that you have in 'Don't upload if distance is less than...'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmig:
Thanks for trying but in my case problem remains the same

I insalled SQL and did soft rest. Still same exception
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:

Sorry I just got my tilt and still really new to any of this phone stuff.

Does this program use the GPS device in my tilt?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
why that much pushpins

I am riding with bike throug roads that change their direction very often. So tor track where i was riding i leave the default, 30 sek. that gives me approx 500-700 meters between the pins
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wafwot:
jcleek and staryon... check your PM. I made some changes/fixes to the install.php file
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
bottkars, you can not display the polyline without the points to plot it. You asked if we could only show the forced points and the track line and the answer is no. The Google API doesn't work that way.

As for changing the text for MPH and km/h yes, I will move that to the language file.
