Excellent application and it all works.

But now I want my own server to use.

I did the installation as described in the readme.

I made a subdomain on my server called: http://trackme.mydomain.nl

Placed all the file etc. First time upload did not do it, but after the second connection it worked.

Data is uploaded and the main web works. I can select a user and see the track.

BUT, when i try to open the http://trackme.mydomain.nl/routes/mykml.kml it cant find the file. When i use my ftp client the file exists in that directory.

What can be the problem here?

In that discussion it is all about the http://trackme.mydomain.nl working at all. The changes in index.php as suggested there are already default in de index.php right now.

The site works...upload works...kml file is created.

But I can see it when i browse to it.

Missing TimeStamps im KML Files

thanks for this great programm. I like the look and feel very much.

I would like using it for recording my foto tracks and afterwards using the recorded KML file to add the GPS information to my fotos with the Geosetter Programm.

Unfortunately i encounter a big problem. The exported KML file is not containing the TimeStamp information for each trackpoint. Instead the time and date can only be found in the "remarks" field. Wich can not be extracted by other programs.

Is there a possibilty to get TrackMe with that timestamp feature right out of the box ?

Cause i will start my holiday this sunday and i would take TrackMe with me to record my phototours in Canada.

thanks

Has it something to do with the google earth key ?

I got this key for http://trackme.mydomain.nl and not for http://trackme.mydomain.nl/routes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
There is an option inside TrackMe for deleting data using a time range.

Maybe you could use that.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Use TrackMe in Remote mode.

After that, in Configuration->Remote, specify to always upload offline.

Once you have internet connection again, just upload that offline data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for the explanation, Cyril. I will add it to the FAQ

I have plans in making some changes to the information stored in the KML files. Not sure when though. I'll have a look at what you say.

I have an ATT Tilt, stock rom/radio, and I'm a little unsure about installing .Net 3.5.

Can I just install the cab? I've read some threads when searching saying that removing .Net 2.0 was essential, but I'd prefer at this point to not change my ROM. I'm curious if it can be installed, plus how much additional ram it'll take.

I found a post on Modaco about how to switch the default .Net from 2.0 to 3.5 to take advantage of 3.5, just unsure about actually installing it and the memory it'll use overall.

Thanks! :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fesi:
That will be great thanks.

Please check also the sequence of the stored data. It looks like that google earth is handling the start point as end point and wise versa. That means when using the "fly track" feature it will fly all the way backwards (like a track back function).

Great job

Hi again,

here the format with timestamp how it is expected by GeoSetter.

<Placemark>

<name>226</name>

<visibility>false</visibility>

<TimeStamp><when>2007-09-12T15:07:27Z</when></TimeStamp>

<Point><coordinates>13.41101300,52.55223700,112.0</coordinates></Point></Placemark>

But maybe you will overcome this by implementing the gpx format ;)

Good. That's exactly what I needed. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dabbith:
I like this application, but the GPS uses a lot of power. If I set the upload interval to be long (15,30,60 minutes), could the application turn off the GPS between uploads? Then I could find a compromise between battery life and up to date position.

Thanks for the cool app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, there is an option for that. Go to Configuration->GPS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I don't really use the GPS time (I think I should though) I just take the time that you have on your PDA in Windows Mobile. To be honest I have no idea why it changes. I never saw something like that. Check your regional settings, just in case you see something strange...

It's weird because as far as I know nobody had that problem before.

Sorry I cannot help you more.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Caspertje19:
Hi,

first of all: very nice program, I like the future to do this on your own webserver (instead of a commercial site). Keep up the good work.

What I am wondering is how a program like WIMP (Where Is My Phone) does work. With WIMP, your PDA is in standby (so NOT only the screen is off), but when you send a SMS to that PDA, it wil not come out of standby, but it does get a GPS fix en send it to another phone.

Isn't there a possibility that such thing can be done with your program. So every x minutes the phone will get a GPS fix and sent it to the server while the PDA is in standby.

I know this has been asked before, but WIMP rised the question for me how that specific program has managed to left the phone in standby mode while getting a GPS fix and send it to another cell phone....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jbgood-nl:
perhaps you can use dateoccurred for GPS time (UTC) and dateadded for local time.

I found a pda setting which can set time/timezone automatically. I've disabled this option.

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

I have been doing some testing including the timestamp. However I have noticed that it doesn't show up in Google Earth. Does this happen to you as well?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but as I said I don't plan to add support for that. I did some testing sometime ago and I didn't really see a great difference. What really makes the difference is if the screen is on or not.

If you worry a lot about your battery you can enable the automatic GPS disconnection between uploads.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] captbunzo:
Great application, btw. I need to remember to donate when payday rolls along at the end of the week....

Anyhow, two requests:

1. When you upload your CAB to the website, it would be GREAT if you could name the file with a version number. I have been adding a date to the filename when I download, but without a version number or timestamp it can be a little confusing.

2. When you manually export data to a file, last I checked it always did so to the same filename. Similarly, it would be nice if the exported GPS data file included a timestamp in the filename. Otherwise it is really easy to overright data.

Thanks again! And I will get that donation in for this GREAT app!

Dear author of this thread and trackme app.

.....is their a way to mak this thing work with TomTom or any other real gps navigation program? or maybe evn microsoft live maps.

the problem is the only way to use Googlemaps is you have to be connected to a datc onnection (i.e att data plan or t-mobile internet) or the maps wont show up....its not like microsoft live maps where youc an save the locations and map areas youve visited with the cache save option...i only use wifi on my phone and i know theirs a whole lot of other people who refuse to pay for internet and googlemaps is basically useless to us on the go. Also i use TomTom7 religiously anyways, why bother with second rate map applications, but if you can answer my question about trackme that would be great, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phunzoid:
staryon & all who have contributed, as many have said already, awesome work !! :D ... i had been playing around with Mologogo, and TrackMe blows it away !!

in the last couple of days i've read 1,600+ posts, but i still have a couple of questions:

1) does rebooting of the device cause trip data to be reset? for example, i want to track a trip, so i create a trip name, "Vacation"....i travel along recording GPS locations, then stop for the night....i turn the phone off for the evening, and restart it in the morning to continue my trip...i start up TrackMe and continue using "Vacation" as the trip name....but it seems TrackMe then starts recording the new day's tracking data over yesterday's data....is this normal?....is there any way to continue tracking a trip after the device has been rebooted?...or must the device be kept on for the duration of the whole trip?...i'm using an HTC Mogul (PPC-6800)

2) i understand why "GE always shows the current position", but is there any way to save trips in GE, without having to do a trip export from TrackMe each time you want see a prior trip in GE?...basically, like how the Google Maps module works, with a drop-down box allowing you to choose from previous trips
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I cannot do that because otherwise you wouldn´t be able to download directly from TrackMe every time there is a new version. On the other hand, all the other websites that are linked to mine will have to update the download link for each new version. I would also have to update my html pages every time I upload a new version. Too much work...

Sorry but I cannot do that because if I do, I will have to do it for exporting remotely as well, and the system is not really prepared to have multiple KML files for a single user on the server.

Sorry for so many bad news! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
TrackMe should be able to work with any other applications that use the GPS. Did you check this?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1729037&postcount=1211
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It shouldn't be like that. Whatever trip you have selected should be used.

I'll do some testing though.

Sorry but that's not possible.

staryon, nevermind about the previous day's data being lost...everything is working fine :)

i could have sworn when i came into work this morning, and started up GE, the only tracking points i saw were the new one's from this morning, but nothing from yesterday....i kept the same trip name both days

but i've just been playing with GE again, and now i see all the points recorded under that trip name, for both days :o

Newbie Issues

Hi,

First off, thanks for this cool app. I just installed yesterday and I realy like it already.

I have a few weird issues though and I wonder if I am doing something wrong or there is an issue with trackme \ my device.

First, if I start up trackme it seem to connect to the GPS but not get any data, if I leave it running and start TOMTOM then it starts getting data.

Second, I had it running and logging gps data then I made a phone call and walked around for 15 mins. When I finnished the call I expected to see 15 gps points logged (I set 1 min intervals). What I found was that it had stopped logging while I was on the phone. Once I finnished the call it started logging again.

Hopefully I have something set wrong or am being thick. Any advice apreciated.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
You might need to 'prime' the GPS before TrackMe will be able to access the GPS data stream. I need to do that on my Sprint Mogul and use GPSToday for that purpose as well as providing faster TTFF. There are other apps available for this purpose.

For the second issue, my Mogul does the same thing because it's supposed to. The data connection is interrupted whenever a voice connection is active, say when a call comes in, with the data connection automatically resuming after the voice call is done. Under the Remote tab of Config, under Offline data (for later upload), select If unable to upload and Upload automatically when internet is available and then you would have seen all of the points once you finished the call and the kml file was updated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
I would like to see a new notification type available using some combination of the standard WM notification bubble, vibration, LEDs, sound. This would be useful for knowing when you are close to arriving near a specific point, for example, a bus stop or train station. Plus, this would provide a more immediate (local) notification than either SMS or email can offer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Good idea.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
On my Sprint Mogul, I have Opera Mini configured as the default browser (thanks to this) and when I open links in any other program, they always show up in Opera Mini just fine. However, when I click on 'Show position on map', IE Mobile opens up and gives me an error "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again." :confused: Yet if I cut and paste the URL into Opera Mini, the page shows just fine.

The second issue will go away if the link opened properly in Opera Mini like it should. :p

Any idea why it's opening in IE Mobile instead?

(Sorry for the large number of posts; but just discovered this app and am having fun putting it through its paces.)

Edit: Okay, part two went away on its own somehow as now it is opening successfully in IE Mobile. Question still remains though why IE Mobile instead of Opera Mini???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] del4:
Given how large the file can become over time, it would be great to have the option of storing it on the memory card.

On a related note, what about an option to create additional local backups/copies of the GPS data associated with each trip? Instead of having just a single gpspositions.txt file, have a file associated with each trip and store the data there...

TrackMe Display v1.20

I can't seem to get the display options to 'stick' when Live Tracking is on, using either Firefox 3.0 or IE7.

If changes can't be maintained with live tracking on because of the refresh issue, could there be some way of allowing us to choose the default options, say starting in satellite view instead of map view?

IMPORTANT

A question for everybody...

How many people are still using TrackMe in local mode?

I don't mean using Remote mode and storing the data offline. I mean don't using a server at all. Everything is stored locally on your PDA.

The reason is because I'm thinking in getting rid of local mode in TrackMe. It will make easier any further development.

I know that sometime ago I posted the same question, and almost nobody was using it. However I didn't get rid of that, I just removed part of the functionality.

This time I'm thinking in getting rid of everything. Every time I add something new to TrackMe I need to write a equivalent function for local mode. It's a lot of work and most of the time even more difficult to implement. So I think it's a waste of time to keep supporting this.

Please let me know how many people are still using local mode.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phunzoid:
del4,

interesting you need to prime the GPS on your Mogul with TrackMe...i also have a Sprint Mogul and TrackMe grabs the GPS quickly without any priming by other apps :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Let Local mode go. So few people would actually use it that it's not worth your hassle. What's the point of having the data if it's locked into your device? I've never used it nor will I ever use local mode.

Thinking through this thread, the only time I've heard it used has been in error rather than intentional.

Does that help. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] felix_28:
I have used local mode once when I couldn't get my other gps program to work so it was convenient to have, but as long as there is a way to log positions and use TrackMe even if there is no data connection available (e.g turned off deliberately) I think it is ok to get rid of local mode.

Thanks for a great program.

I took a trip yesterday and tracked the whole thing. I'm trying to send the file to the server and sometimes it says incorrect username and password and other times it says there was an error generating the .kml file.

any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] while(!(linux)){wm}:
So i'm not exactly sure what happened here, but i thought i'd recount the story in case there's information that might be helpful.

-On June 28th, i downloaded the newest (at that time) version of trackme and installed it.

-I installed it on my built in storage. I had previously had it installed on my flash drive.

-I noticed that the settings were lost, so i copied the all files that are not .dll or .exe over to the built in storage from the flash drive.

-Everything looked fine, so i set trackme to track with my normal settings and went on my trip on the 29th. About halfway through the day i noticed that it wasnt uploading to the server. I tried uploading offline positions and it appeared to keep trying to upload the same position, and then it would tell me that the process was complete, but if i tried to upload offline positions right away, it would just keep trying to upload the same position.

-I installed an older version of trackme. This time it seemed to work at first, but still would keep trying to upload offline positions. I also noticed that when i tried to get my trips from the server, it came up blank and told me i needed to update my client.

-I then tried installing the newer version again. This time it said that there were no offline points to upload. It was also telling me to update my client. This was near the end of the day, so i knew that i had lost all my points for that day.

-I was having trouble with XDA forums last night, so got the newest version through my PDA and installed it. It finally started working normally again.

-To get my track from the 29th back, i had to use the raw gpspositions.txt file and convert that into KML.

I assume i went wrong when copying the setting files from my flash drive to the built in storage? Is there any way to pull the data from the gpspositions.txt file and send it to the server?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Every time you update the client, the file local.sdf is overwritten. Offline positions are stored in that file and that's why you lost those positions.

Just be sure to upload offline positions before upgrading the client next time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Are you using the latest version of the client that I uploaded yesterday?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MossMan4x4:
no, I haven't downloaded it yet because I was afraid I'd loose my track from yesterday. If those points will be preserved I'll go ahead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
In that case do the following:

1. Make a backup of the TrackMe folder

2. Download and install the latest version of TrackMe

3. Now take the file local.sdf from your backup folder and copy it where the

program is installed.

4. Start the program and upload your offline data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MossMan4x4:
hmmm. I got the new version and after a few attempts I got the "kml file generated correctly" and it listed the url. But when I put that in Google Maps I get this,

"Parts of http://luisespinosa.com:80/... could not be displayed because it contains errors.Show errorsHide errors

Line 1: <coordinates> contains syntax errors"

??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I checked the file that was on my server and it seems your KML is empty. I mean, you didn't export any positions.

Could you let me know which trip name are you trying to export? I will check my database to see if you have any data there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MossMan4x4:
apparently my positions are gone. I copied the "local" file over from the backup but it still isn't working. Is there a way to see the text file of the coordinates or some other way to verify that they are there. I don't have any trips listed since the upgrade either.

edit: I backed the file up from last nights Sprite backup and still nothing. I did export a .kml and email to myself yesterday. I tried yesterday to add it to gmaps but couldn't get it to work either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I checked the database and you don't have any positions there. It's completely empty. Are you sure that you were not using TrackMe in local mode before?

It's impossible to delete the positions in the database after you upgraded TrackMe. Maybe you deleted the positions accidentally from the client.

If you want to, send me your original local.sdf file to my email and I will take a look. My email is here:

I was using trackme in local mode yesterday. I was out of service most of the ride so I just wanted to save the route and upload it later. I'll send you the file I exported yesterday and maybe you can figure it out.
