Updates

staryon,

made the change to not load the map data when you first arrive at the page and when you switch trips, I did not really know what to do with the map, so its just a blank space, if you have any ideas let me know.

Kai-Uwe,

added the german translation and I believe the config defaults will be applied correctly.

annegerben,

added the dutch translation.

check that its correct here, I will then attach the updated files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It looks very good.

Maybe you could show the world map or the TrackMe icon... it's up to you.

By the way, when the map is empty I can see these 2 characters at the bottom //

Maybe you added that for testing or something like that.

The only thing that I would change (it's up to you, it's ok the way as it is right now) is to put everything that has to do with the Search inside a panel, so the Live Tracking button is outside that panel.

Even better, when you are in live tracking, all that panel should not be visible, instead just have a button that says 'Search mode' or something like that.

Attached is an example with the panel. But again, it's great as it is... just make the modifications that you consider.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried that, it just creates a new route.kml file.

How do i make it read the gpspositions log file?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
Hi, i am silly :eek:

I do html-coding for a long time. never did php. Edited the language php not with my html-editor. did it with editor from Windows. And dont thougt about the special characters.. Ohh silly!!!!!

So i did the german translation again. And now it also works with the Characters äöü :-)

In case of that you have addet other languages i only have addet the german translation part of the language.php for you.

Greetings from germany and excuse my bad english. My German is better....

And private to staryon: My Wife is half Spain :-)

New Bugs or silly User?

At this time i am testing your latest TrackMe-Version. Anything runs fine exept the upload pictures function.

I have loocked up that the date time settings on my PDA's are perfect. Then startet Trackme and after a few moments after uploading the first points i took a foto and want Trackme to upload it and bring it to the right position point.

I testet with 2 differend PDA.

On my HTC Tytn i get the error: Unable to get positions

On my BlueAngel i get the error: No Date time found

Both PDA are with WM6. And have no GPS integratet. I do it with an external GPS-Mouse. Uploading pictures with "Force Update know" is working fine.

Greetings Kai-Uwe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The KML file is just a subset from the database. If you are interested in a specific trip just export it. That it will create a KML file. You don't really need to keep that KML file, because it can be generated at any time. However, if you want to keep it for some reason, just rename it to something else.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you update the server files? This new version needs a new version of the requests.php file.

If you get the message 'No date time found' is because the EXIF data doesn't contain a tag named TAG_DATE_TIME or EXIF_TAG_D_T_ORIG. That tag contains the date time information.

If you know how to do this, could you check if your image has a different tag name for the creation date? If not, you can send a picture to me so I can take a look at the EXIF data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
Who i find the new requests.php? in the lastupdatezip i found there where only a language.php, index.php and config.php.

I will look at the exif-data later. Now i have to go to work. Could it be that my pda dont create exif data? Is there the possibilitiy to get that needet information from the file porpertys?

Greetings Kai-Uwe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The latest files are always in the first post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
Is the text in the variables $none_text and $trip_any_text used in a query?

When they are translated (and I use them on my own server) I get an mySQL error on lines 603 and 604 in index.php

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /hermes/web08/b1380/pow.mcconsult/htdocs/trackme/index.php on line 603

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /hermes/web08/b1380/pow.mcconsult/htdocs/trackme/index.php on line 604

On your server the Dutch text for $none_text isn't showing in the dropdown menu.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
Could you add the version number in the startpost so I can see easily if have installed the latest version?

And is it possible to change the layout so it is also optimal for landscape?

for example in the manage trips screen you have to scoll to see the buttons
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'll put the date when the whole package has been updated from now on.

> And is it possible to change the layout so it is also optimal for landscape?

Do you mean TrackMe's layout?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
yes, I'll try to upload some screenshots later.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Well, I been avoiding installing the newer version since I also had to update .Net and SQCE. So, I finally bit the bullet and updated across the board (.Net/SQCE/Web Site).

All seems okay with the upgrade and I am eager to see how the new update off line positions and pictures work. :)

The new version of the web code is GREAT and I like the new changes.

Now to a little problem. It seems I can use the Configuration button, but once I exit out the button does not work again. I have to restart TrackMe to get the configuration button to work again.

No big deal

...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
here are the screenshots
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
Good Morning.....

Hi.....

so, i do the updates and testet again a little bit: Here are the results:

In the Server files the german translation is not includet, mean it is the old wrong one. I addet the complete language.php here.

When using the upload offline pictures funktion:

On my HTC Tytn with WM6 it works fine :-)

On my BlueAngel with WM6 it did not work. Seems that there are no exif data in the pics.

I addet a test picture here also. Maybe you can extract the Date/Time from the picture propertis. Not from the exif-data? So you can use the full function from TrackMe with older PDA's.

On the Web interface:

When setting the config.php to German and Metric it always pops of in english and imperial. So you have to switsh it manually everytime you acces the Trackpage.

The favicon did not work.

Keep on you more thant excellent work!!!!!

Greetings Kai-Uwe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!

- Pictures upload. If not EXIF data found, file properties will be used.

- Pictures upload. When a picture is uploaded using this method, the icon

'Camera' will be used.

- Added icon 'Force update' in the main window

- Force Update form is emptied after uploading a position.

- Manage trips window now supports landscape layout.

For people using their servers, I have updated the file requests.php
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Sorry, that is not the Config button but the "Tools" button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's very strange. I'll do some testing just in case I see something wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Ya, still there with your new version that you just released.

I did not have this problem before on the older version (the last one before the required .NET update).

All other buttons work, even the new one that you just added for uploading.

BTW, you need to find one more button to fill up the bottom! LOL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
is it possible to make so you don't have to scroll to use the buttons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
Hello again....

Hi,

just testing the new Versions.

Result:

The Favicon problem is solved. My fault! Uploadet it as ASCI!!! Have to do that in Binary-Mode :-(

I got also the problem with the Tool Button. First time it works. After that no more. you have to restart Trackme to get the Button to work once again.

The "Upload Local Pictures" function now works fine with AND without Exif-Data! GREAT!!

If you are searching for an "last" Button on the right side of the TrackMe Mainpage so take the "Upload Local Pictures" Button. It would be fine there :-)

The Webinterface still comes up in english an metric. It doesnt matter what you set in the config.php. OK, at this time there where no changes made there.

The language.php ist still not with the complete German translation.

So i have to say: VERY VERY great Tool. Only very small "Microbugs" with no functionality lose. Fantastic!

Greetings Kai-Uwe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The German translation is not there because mcross is still working on a final release for the viewer and he said that he would include that once is released.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
I take it you are not finding a issue with the tools button on your end?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry, I haven't tried it yet.

updates

I am attaching my latest files, I added the language updates for German and Dutch, set it so thw world map will show when changing trips, and I'm pretty sure the config defaults will be used correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
I've made a typo in the $trip_none.

If the $trip_none_text and $trip_any_text I still get MySQL errors so I changed them back in English.

Attached a updated language.php

the updated index.php isn't working for me, it only show the world.

If select a trip nothing changes and if I zoom in the trip still isn't showing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
I've attached the updated language file and also another index.php file, I'm pretty sure I uploaded the correct one the first time, but now I am positive.

You do know that you have to press the "Show" button for the Map to update with the selected trip.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Web changes

I added an option in the config file to allow users to show the map data always or to force you to push the "Show" button.

change files: config and index.

I am also thinking about moving the config options to another page. I don't think they get used enough to always show on the front page, this would free up alot more space for the map.

What do you all think?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Files updated.

Yes! I think it's a great idea in moving those options to a different page. That doesn't need to be changed very often and by moving that we get a larger map display.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thefunkygibbon:
I've installed the server package onto my own server and get the message

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.

all the time. I've already uploaded some data apparently from my phone apparently. and i've uploaded a picture and it is definalty in the pics folder on my server.

help?

:Edit: sorry checked the sql db and there wasnt anything in the "trips" table so created a trip and i have a login now.

is that a bug? surely its not obvious that you need to create a trip to start with
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Not sure if it is a bug, when jcleek did that he mentioned that you would get that error message if you don't have any data. I'm not sure if it was a temporary solution or that's how he decided to implement it.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
In my config.php i have set this:

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

// Units (imperial or metric)

$units = "metric";

// Language (English, German, French or Spanish)

$language = "German";

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

But it comes still up in english an imperial.

Greetings Kai-Uwe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
if you change the order in index.php you can avoid this problem
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
I did ts now in the index.php:

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

$html .= " <select name=\"language\">\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"german\""; if($language == "german") { $html .= " SELECTED"; } $html .= ">German</option>\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"english\""; if($language == "english") { $html .= " SELECTED"; } $html .= ">English</option>\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"spanish\""; if($language == "spanish") { $html .= "SELECTED"; } $html .= ">Spanish</option>\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"french\""; if($language == "french") { $html .= "SELECTED"; } $html .= ">French</option>\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"dutch\""; if($language == "dutch") { $html .= "SELECTED"; } $html .= ">Dutch</option>\n";

$html .= " </select>$display_language_text<br>\n";

$html .= " <select name=\"units\">\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"metric\""; if($units == "metric") { $html .= " SELECTED"; } $html .= ">Metric</option>\n";

$html .= " <option value=\"imperial\""; if($units == "imperial") { $html .= " SELECTED"; } $html .= ">Imperial</option>\n";

$html .= " </select> $display_units_text<br>\n";

$html .= " <br>\n";

if(isset($_REQUEST[last_location]))

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

just switched the order of english and german / imperial and metric.

Now it comes up with the right entries in the fields but i have to klick "Set Display" to switch to german and metric. Ok two steps less but not perfect :-)

stealth mode

what are the latest news regarding the stealth mode??

my interest in this software is that if some thief get my phone i will be able to track it.

i got a lot of important information, emails, phone numbers etc.. that i don't want to loose

besides that the tilt cost me $199 plus activation fee

i already lost a blackberry and i dont want to lost this one
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
As I said in one my previous posts I'm waiting for an update in one of the libraries that I use that will let me to minimize the application as soon as it's started. I won't be able to do that until they release it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] harty83:
I have the program set up to connect and disconnect from the GPS every 10minutes. It seems that during the day, it connects then gets stuck while connected for several hours. Well I don't notice it until my battery is shot. I have an ATT tilt. Any clue why this is?

Thanks!

Skipped. Not moved.

Hi, first let me say, great program it should enable me to track walks and bike rides with great accuracy....

Just one small problem ...

I am using the program on a Trinity, and it works great with one small problem, when I set the screen off, after recording a around 10 locations, all I get is the message

Skipped. Not moved.

I presume it is sue to some kind of power saving turning off the GPS, but I'm not aware of any setting to change it.

Has anyone else had this issue, and can anyone think of a possible solution?

Many Thanks

Dan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omijam:
thanks for the upate..

do you have any insides regarding when they will release that library?

i read that in one of your posts, you write that one of the problems is that it stay visible for some secs before hide.

what about making the first screen of trackme a blanc screen with no info...?

then if some one turn off and start my phone they just see a white (or blue, etc...) screen for some seconds and the thief just will think that its part of the startup
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omijam:
i have a tilt too, battery s*cks.

any hints to make the battery s*ckless??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w01f:
Hi Dan,

This is a feature whereby if your position hasn't moved within a configurable distance and time, the position isn't stored.

In Config, goto Storage tab and change the values there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danfulton:
Hi,

Yeah I've seen (and played) with that setting, and this is not dependant on it.

It even happens if I am driving down the motorway at 70MPH.

Thanks for the thought though!

Skipped. Not moved.

I had the same problem with an external bluetooth Emtac GPS unit and an Opticon windows mobile 5 device. If I went out of range of the bluetooth, it did not figure out when I came back in range of the bluetooth. I always had to Stop/Start the program to get it to work again. So I'm not sure if its the WM5, bluetooth, Emtac GPS, or software.

It does not happen on my internal GPS device Tilt with windows mobile 6.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danfulton:
I saw your problem earlier in the thread, sadly the Trinity has a built in GPS, so it in theory should never go out of range - hence me thinking it could be a power saving feature.

Web Ideas

I have been thinking about the config settings, default display settings for the web. right now on a shared server users will have to set the setting they prefer each time if they don't match the config defaults.

So If the users table is modified to hold each users display preferences then it can be recalled each time a person is logs in, and if they have not set preferences it will default to the config file.

also I had a thought to add a private/public setting in the users table, if a user is set to public their data will show for anyone who goes to the web page. So instead setting the web server to private, users decide whether or not their data is private/public. This would all people to try, at least the web portion, out before installing anything on their phones.

The trackme appllication is awesome, and I know what I want the web portion to do for me, I am wanting to get an idea of what you all are wanting this to do.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annegerben:
maybe mobile justice is something for you. It detects new simcards, forwards in stealth mode all text messages through to a pre assigned number. And you can get the phones gps position in stealth mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Curious

staryon,

I am curious if you what data you get from a gps device, for instance when you fill the speed data, are you calculating this using lat and long from last position to current or does the gps device just give you this? also what do you think about adding a heading/direction of travel to the position table, and if possible a 'Status' indication of in-motion or stopped, my thinking is to show only the places that I stopped, rather than the entire driving route.

I started to look up the math to calculate this using the lat and long from the positions, but thought; if its given by the gps device it could just be included.

Thanks

Tomtom and Trackme

I have read that some people are able to combine the use of TomTom and Trackme, both using the same GPS. I am using a Trinity with builtin GPS and this just does not work. Either one of the apps can have access to the GPS. I have enabled that Windows Mobile manages the GPS automatically. Both programs are connected to the hardware port (COM9). Any ideas what to do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danfulton:
Try setting yuor external gps app (in settings) to

Program port COM4

Hardware Port Com9 Speed 115200

Automatically Manage

Then,

Set up both apps to use COM4, speed 9600

That works for me.

As you are also using a trinity, does you GPS keep logging when you turn the screen off?

Cheers

Server install giving "undefined index"

Hi!

First of all, nice app! :)

I'm trying to get it working on my own server.

The problem I'm having is that I get many "Undefined index" errors, both when running the install script and on index.php.

TrackMe upload routes and positions, but can't create trips. That also throws undefined index error.

I'm getting the feeling I'm missing something completely obvious here :/

Anyone care to slap me silly and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Own Sever

Hi, thanks for this exelent software,

I have try Luis server, it works very well.

Try to set up a own server but cannot follow the Read_Me.txt.

Line 3

3) In the same folder as the php files create a new folder called "pics" and CHMOD it to 777.

I have created a folder "pics" but what is CHMOD it to 777 ? Sorry for my ignorance.

Line 4

4) Using your MySQL access create a database which will house the tables created by the install script.

How to do this?

Please don´t laugh , :)

I have try but when comming to the install.php page I dont know what to write in "Databasename,User,etc.

If samebody have the time to point out , I will be thankfull.

Best regards

JoseF
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] relnah:
CHMOD 777 is giving everyone all access to the folder. I'm not completely sure on the syntax... might be something like chmod 777 <folder>. You run this in the terminal in linux. Google chmod and I'm sure you'll get loads of info. I use windows server 2008, so I gave the user "Everyone" all access to the folder... though I have other problems so it won't work

You need to have MySQL installed on your server (www.mysql.org). Then you create a database using whatever means you have to access mysql. Create a user in mysql and give the user access to your newly created database.

It's that databse name and user/password you're supposed to enter.

Not very detailed help, but hopefully it'll help you along the way.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marksweb:
Hi I set this up on my Kaiser and web server last night and the server side seems to be working fine - www.marksweb.co.uk/trackme

But on my phone it never stops 'searching for stellites' and i left it doing that all night last night. It also doesn't seem to upload the kml file yet but i'm not sure where i've gone wrong.

I've had a search through this thread but not been able to find any answers.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I like the idea.

Here is my suggestion...

I would use 2 tables. One table will contain the settings for each user.

This table would have the following columns:

FK_USERS_ID | KEY_NAME | KEY_VALUE

By default, this table is empty.

The second table would have the default values. And it would contain these columns:

KEY_NAME | KEY_VALUE

By doing that you don't have to store that information in the config file.

When a user logs in, it will try to find the settings in the first table, and if it cannot be

found it will take it from the second one.

You can also add a administration page that will let the admin to modify that second table

from the browser (so he doesn't have to go to mysql to do it)

This is just an idea, whatever you think is easier for you, I'll be ok!

Thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Regarding the speed...

Yes, I calculate that. However I calculate it based on the 2 last 'user' readings. For example, if the user is uploading every 30 seconds, it will calculate the speed based on intervals of 30 seconds.

I don't like that too much, because even if the user is only interested in uploading every 30 seconds, I'm still getting data from the GPS every second, so I could use that for the speed which would give us a better accuracy. I would like to make that change one day.

I also thought about showing the direction of travel... it would be nice to add.

The GPS doesn't give you that information either.

Let me know if you find the math and I can add that information to the Positions table.

Thanks for all your help!
