Hi Staryon,

I was wondering is there any plan to make the program export to kml file locally so we won't be dependant on webserver anymore? In other words make it a totally standalone app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That feature was available long time ago but it was removed after some user feedback. It was a lot of work to keep both modes functional. Sorry but it won't be added again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NeoXTC:
aahhh k. thanks for the reply :)

It's a cool app by the way. Great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iboj007:
I'm having the exact same issue and uninstalling/re-installing doesn't help. I have a HTC Fuze and am using LEM's server.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
Greetings.

I have one problem. As You may see on picture on link below the problem is when TrackMe send offline stored track points to server it stops recording GPS position, so i'm getting position gaps (red circles on picture).

Is there a way to fix that or i have maybe setup TrackMe incorrectly.

Sincerely, Davor.

Please check the message that I left you in my forum.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Before trying to go further, just to double check... did you click on the button 'Upload offline positions'?

Maybe those positions have not been uploaded yet.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
Greetings.

Thanks for quick respond.

My TrackMe Storage config.

- to store position every 3 seconds

- not to store consecutive points if distance is less than 15 meters

offline data

- Always store but upload every 120 seconds

- store battery status.

These are my settings...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iboj007:
Basically, copy the original "TrackMe" folder from Program Files to another location, uninstall, delete the original "TrackMe" folder from Program files, reinstall the app as normal. Then copy the old config.dat file into the new "TrackMe" folder.

Thanks so much! This worked!

Local GPX file

arrrgggghhh! Who was that inconsiderate user?!!! :)

How about generating local gpx file? Why would it be too much work? Surely the ability to have a local GPX file would add flexibility to TrackMe.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What happens when you click on 'Upload offline positions'?

Does it tell you that no offline positions are available?

TrackMe does not lose any positions. Maybe you were in an area with a poor reception and your GPS couldn't get a fix. Also if you are in a phone call your GPS will probably disconnect.

Hope it helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
Greetings.

I never upload positions manually because i set TrackMe to automatic upload. Only when i come at the end of my route and when i stop tracking TrackMe ask if i want to upload offline positions recorded from last automatic upload. And it uploads it after i answer yes.

In my situation, as you can see from picture few posts before, gps reception is lost every 2 minutes, exactly when TrackMe is set to automaticaly upload track. I didn't receive any call in that period and the problem isn't poor gps reception because i used that route many times for testing and i didn't have those gaps until i began to use Trackme with automatic upload... I've tried different timings for automatic upload and those gaps are directly connected with it, every time TrackMe starts to upload tracks it stops recording gps position...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
thanks for the explanation. Yes, that should be normal. When you are in the middle of uploading offline positions, TrackMe won't read any more positions until this has finished. So it depends how short is your upload interval and how fast if your internet connection. You will have to adjust those parameters to make it work better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
I have been playing with those upload timings and i think that 30s which is minimum interval timing should be even less. Can you allow in future versions that timing to be set on 3s (as minimum gps timing). Therefore we will get situation that after each point taken from gps TrackMe will be able to upload it and gap would be just when uploading one point, just a few seconds. In my situation i set gps to collect points every 3s and to upload it every 30s and in that period TrackMe collect 10 points and gap when it uploads those points is big because it must upload 10 points. I think if we set that upload time to 3s the gap would be smaller because TrackMe would need to upload only one point...

That's my guess only...

I have the HTC diamond and I don't have the bottom menu bar with the screen off button.

The bottom of the app is the little icons, there is no black bar with the screen off option

Any ideas ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hi

could you post a screenshot? that will help me to resolve that issue.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s8utt:
I've not taken an actual screenshot as I have no idea how lol.

I've modified the image off your website.

Basically the bottom black bar is missing, the image fills screen on my htc so its not got a gap at the bottom of the screen where the menu bar should be.

Hope this helps, if not let me know and I'll charge the camera up and take a photo of the phone.

Thanks

Thanks for that. Its very strange though. Do you see menus with other programs? Maybe it's a setting or something in Windows Mobile.

Sorry I cannot give you more information!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s8utt:
Not had this problem in any other programs.

Anyone who has a htc diamond have this problem ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deathknight:
Have an HTC Diamond too, and no problem...

My ROM is an AZTOR X2 (Windows Mobile 6.1), French version.

Staryon, i want to thank you !!! You're awesome !

With your solution, i will be able to give Live News to my family when i will be on the way to vacations !

I've donated with Paypal for your great work ! (and the works of others too)

I'm using your server, but have you limitation ?

(sorry for my bad english)

continue this great work !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
deathknight,

Thanks a lot for your comments and for the donation. I appreciate that.

And no, there are not any limitations with my free server.

I was wondering if there was anyone who knew how to get this to work on a i910 Omnia. If i set the gps to com8 baud 5760 (the correct gps settings, google maps works fine w these settings) it just freezes...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you check the FAQ? Maybe one of the solutions explained there will fix that problem for you.

Error installing NetCF V3.5

Staryon,

I get an installation error since I've upgraded by ROM. It says "Installation Error, stop all application and processes, maximize.... Support info .3.

Can you help me. that's for both card and internal memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That error seems to be related with CF not with TrackMe.

Just by doing a quick search on Google I got this (check one of the last replies just in case it helps)

my trackme server don't work

Hello!

them i go to my trackme server, i see this error "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.", but *.kml exist in routes folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lemassykoi:
You must generate data in your SQL Tables, by launching Trackme on your mobile for at least one point
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] byos:
How it to make?

I generate points by launching Trackme on mobile, point have been uploadind to server in routes folder, how to generate data in SQL Tables?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jklondon:
great app but a battery killer on my TP2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] byos:
Somebody help me plz!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That has nothing to do with TrackMe. It depends on your GPS and how much time is on.

If you don't want to keep your GPS on all the time, just select the option to disconnect between uploads.

You can also turn off the screen when using it to reduce the battery usage.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
In order to generate a KML/GPX file you need to have data in your SQL tables.

If you already have one of those files (and it's not empty) is because your tables already have some data.

As I mentioned in the FAQ I didn't write the web viewer so I cannot give you too much help on that. Hopefully other users will be able to give you more information.

Just in case, did you make a search in this thread by "One or more TrackMe tables in your database are empty". That question has been asked several times and maybe you can get some useful information from there.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
The same problem over here. Since the last update the bottom-bar is gone. So I can't turn off the screen :( I can't even turn of the program. Just need to softreset the phone to turn it off.

HTC Touch Cruise.

ROM 1.25.404.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
Excuse me. Forgot the screenshot. When I hide the program and bring it up again I sometimes see the keyboard part of the bottom-bar!-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
Found it. When I uncheck "Start minimized (Stealth mode)" and I restart the phone and the program. Everything works like it did before. Except Stealth mode :D off course
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yes! you are right. I had to make a change in the stealth mode because it was causing the smartphones to crash. However I didn't know that change it was going to cause some side effects.

I'll take a look to see what I can do. Thanks for the screenshot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wauwtie:
No probs Staryon. I'm glad I could be off any 'help'.

As a matter a fact, I i'm looking for a new device now, and just because of your nice piece of software, I know for sure I need a WM-device! :)

If you 'ported' this program to other platforms, you could be a millionaire! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rctneil:
Just set up my own server for this and it works great but I had been using the default free server for a while and want to know how I can get the data I had on there onto my own server and once that has been done then how can the data still left on the default sever be deleted?

Also staryon, could an option be added to be able to export all configuration settings to an external .txt file which can be saved on the device or storage card?

This would make it so much easier for us users who flash our devices a lot to different roms. We can reinstall trackme and import the settings.txt file and be all setup! - Would be just perfect!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi rctneil,

I'm sorry but there is not any tool to transfer data from one server to another. You can delete your information from my server just by going to Delete Trips and deleting all your trips.

The configuration file is stored in the file config.dat and local.sdf

You can use those files when reinstalling the application.

Hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rctneil:
I don;t wish to delete the data from your server without havinga copy on mine first. Would you be able to get a copy of it for me and send it over so I can import it to my own server.

With regards to the config data. Having an option within the program to export the config settings to a user specififed location would make it much more user friendly and intuitive!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, send me a pm with your username and password and I will try to export all your data into SQL statements. However, you will have to find a way of putting all that in your database manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rctneil:
I would do that but due to my password I cannot give out. If you can provide me with a way of changing my password to something more default then I can send you those credentials
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
I hate to ask this sort of stupid question here, but here goes... Does anyone know an iPhone app which can upload data to an arbitrary server? The format of it I don't care about if I can't control that, I can write something intermediate that'll 'translate' for TrackMe's web API.

My wife just got an iPhone and it'd be nice if she could use the TrackMe web service as well. I know there are serious limitations in that regard (background apps) but it'd be handy. If there's anything and anyone is interested I'll give out any code I write to get the data into TrackMe.

Reminds me, I owe Staryon some documentation my Geotagging stuff which I've never gotten to. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's ok. Check your PMs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No worries! I haven't had a chance to update TrackMe for a long time either and I feel bad about that! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulie89:
Staryon, I Was just wondering if you're still thinking of porting Trackme to the IPhone. I am using Trackme for more then 1,5 year and am still very satisfied with the trackme application. The only thing is I'm going to the new Iphone in a few months and haven't found any apllication like Trackme in the Appstore. There are some yet ther isn't any app that can match Trackme!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi Paulie,

Yes, it's very possible that can be done. Unfortunately I have been working on other projects for the last few months and I haven't even had a chance to even update TrackMe with new features. I will post any news about possible conversions here.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available

-Fixed: The way the application exits has changed. There was at least one user that had problems having TrackMe staying in memory after exiting. Hopefully this will resolve that issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
My wife has an iPhone now so I was looking into apps similar to TrackMe for it and they all have the same serious limitation; they have to be actively running to work.

Apple seriously needs to work on background apps.. I'm sure it must be terribly difficult, coming from a Unix core which..... wait.

They're just waiting for the next iPhone, then pretend the previous versions can't do it.. like MMS, video, etc..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Anyone using GPSToday? If you're like me, you can't have enough GPS related programs... GPSToday is just fun for quick access to maps, closest contacts/POIs, and now they have public sharing of your location, POIs, etc... This last function works on their website, which works fine, still in beta, but works okay.. If anyone isn't using GPSToday, or are using a version older than 0.9.9.8, drop them a line and get the 0.9.9.8 Beta. It's great. I personally use the Today screen version, but their full screen version works well too.

But personally, I keep everything on TrackMe. So that leads to another nice feature of GPSToday, every time it gets your location it can log the information to a file in CSV format. I've had it logging for the last month or so, and it does a pretty good job of it. So then it occurred to me that I could use that data in TrackMe, so I wrote a Mortscript which parses the file and uploads the data to TrackMe.

It works well, and does some connectivity checks before starting, and checks the result code of each upload. If it fails to get a proper return code from TrackMe's web API it re-tries 3 times then exits if it continues to fail. As it uploads data to TrackMe, it outputs the lines to a separate file so the original file can be deleted so it doesn't upload the same data over and over, and next time GPSToday logs a point it just creates its file again, and you have the full log from GPSToday available if you need it.

Set up user, pass, path to your GPSToday CSV file, GPSToday filename, and your TrackMe URI (http://yourdomain.com/trackme) or even Staryon's TrackMe Web if you like (and he is okay with it?). There's no special files needed on the server, just uses the standard TrackMe API.

It's pretty fast to run 15-20 points, or what I typically see on a daily basis.. I had 600 in my file, so it took about 10 minutes on HSDPA on AT&T.

If anyone is interested, drop me a line! Once I run it for a while and make sure it's working consistently and reliably, I'll attach it here for future reference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
I am sorry but this version (5.4.8.142) still shows my original problem that Trackme stays in memory. BTW if I check if this version is current I get the message that I need to update...

Sorry but I uploaded an older version by mistake. You can try again.

I'm not sure if this version will resolve your problem but you can give it a try.

You can use the program in stealth mode. There are a couple of issues that needs to be fixed but the main functionality is there.

Feature request: "Time to wake up alarm" for riding the bus

I've been looking for something that will alert me when I'm withing 1/2 mile of my bus stop since I often fall asleep listening to music from my Tytn II. I tried to use the geofence capability of trackme to do this but all it can do is send an email or text message and the alerts need to be reset. Maybe something like this already exists, I just can't find it.

You would need to be able to configure it:

* set location by text entry or by current GPS location

* set distance away to trigger alarm (500 meters, 1 mile etc...)

* set interval (not really necessary I guess but it should check every 30 seconds or so)

* set time boundry for alert (day of week, time of day start and end)

* set alert type (vibrate, play mp3 etc...)

* I really like how trackme can run in the system tray - and you'd need to be able to turn off the screen just like Trackme can do with the right soft key
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I had in mind in adding a new notification type, an alarm, for geofence.

This may help you a little bit with your problem.

I don't plan to add new features to the geofence at the moment.

How long does it take for the info to appear in Google Maps?

Because I just uploaded it, but it didn't appear yet.

Other GPS info from a few days ago is visible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It should be immediate.

Are you sure you selected the right trip in the viewer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ulisses_berlin:
Hi there,

is it possible to delete old (empty) trips from the server, or do I have to install the PHP-package again? I couldn't find an option. When I delete the positions in TrackMe(on the PPC), the trips are still displayed in the web interface, but don't contain position data(showing the world map).

THX, so long, -ULISSES-
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, you can delete trips from the Manage Trips button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdantuma:
I think so .... weird thing is .... the trip i made yesterday is now visible in google maps. It looks like it takes a few hours before its there....

EDIT: When I view googlemaps directly from Trackme (opens browser) I see the last position. So it looks like it works from there, but GoogleMaps has some kind of delay ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Google Maps shouldn't have any delays. Maybe you are not uploading your data at the same time is read. Are you sure you are not working in offline mode?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdantuma:
It was in the offline mode, but at the end it asked me to upload the info, and it did.... so ..... I should work, If you ask me.....

The info was shown eventually, but a few hours later. The programm was terminated after the upload. So it couldn't upload the info later!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RobsTV:
I often see a long delay when using google maps, while it still shows old uploaded trip, instead of "Live Tracking".

To confirm all is working right, I check it again with Google Earth, and current "Live Tracking" info does show up instantly there, and old trip is gone, (as desired).

Back to Google maps, and old trip is all that is still showing. Changed browser setting to always get newest every time I visit web page, yet delay still exists only with Google Maps. Eventually it works correctly. Might take 30 minutes or more. Refresh page several times and sometime it works, but then afterwards, it sometimes goes back to old trip, while not showing Live Tracking. Sometimes deleting old trips seems to correct the issue as well. Google Earth always fine and instant.

Using IE7 and IE8, which I don't think is tested as much with this app.

EDIT: Just checked now and it works fine. It might have been a bug with Google Maps that has since been corrected. Noticed issue a lot a couple weeks ago.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s8utt:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
Unfortunately, you are right, it did not solve my problem. Would it be possible for you to use a different approach to handling the GPS. A lot of of other GPS software is ok when using the socalled Windows managed access to the GPS. I assume their software calls the Windows API for GPS and get all the information they want. Just thinking....

Still thanks for your software, I don't use it as often as I want, but sometimes I can live with a softreset before continuing to do other work.
