Well, as much as I hate to face it, WM 6.5 is dying. There's little software support for it and even less of a future. As you've even indicated, it's time to move on. However, until I can have an app like TrackMe that allows me to log my location on my server I'm not leaving the version I'm using. In fact, I'd be willing to install a stripped down ROM on another phone and connect it with data via a hotspot on my current phone.

As long as it allows me to log my data on my personal server I'll be willing to switch. I don't want my life in detail on someone else's server. That's too much info for one person/company. My family is a totally different story though. :D

It's truly my pleasure being here. You made a great project and I hope you were paid well for your efforts. I look forward to your updates and would certainly provide feedback to you with ideas of what can make this an even better product. I know it's not totally in your hands anymore, but I'll help where I can. I really love this piece of software. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot man for your comments! Let me tell you that you helped a lot in the development of this project and I really appreciate that.

If I have any news I will post them here as soon as possible.

Waiting for GPS response....variation

Hi Lem,

I'm still using TRACK ME although I have moved from my original TYTN2 to the Touch Pro 2 and have recently discovered a problem which I think has been there for a while but I have been ignoring.

I have the phone set to allow windows to manage GPS and with that I am able to successfully run my other three GPS programs at the same time, successfully getting a lock. Track Me on its own seems to take forever to get a lock (but does eventually) What I can't do is run Track Me (TM) and get a lock while I run the other programs, nor can they get a lock while Track Me is trying to use the GPS. The other programs are the HTC GPS tool (HTC) , Google Maps (GM) and Sporty Pal(SP).

In summary

TM...............lock eventually

HTC................quick lock

SP...............quick lock

GM...............quick lock

HTC+SP.........quick lock

HTC+SP+GM....quick lock

TM+ HTC........Waiting for GPS response (all programs)

TM +SP...........Waiting for GPS response(all programs)

TM +GM...........Waiting for GPS response(all programs)

TM+[any combo]....Waiting for GPS response(all programs)

I'm guessing that its a settings issue in TM, but can't figure out why/how to fix.

Any thoughts?

Cheers

Gideon

The new GPS auto tracker technology allows just about anyone to track anyone else. That is great technology for everyone. i will also download this GPS/CellID Tracking tool.

Still holding out for an iPhone version, any news? What about WP7 maybe? Android?

I feel so locked into my WM 6.5 just so I can use TrackMe. Really. It's the one app that determines what mobile phone I use. I really do love this app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmcourir:
Hi turtle2472,

When I use Trackme on my 6.5 it does say GPS Lost connection. Do you know any patch for that problem ? When GPS is not available inside, it comes to say that error and stay there until I close the apps and restart again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi turtle2472,

Nice to hear from you! Thanks for your comments about TrackMe. I really appreciate that.

To be honest, I don't know anything about the iPhone version. Last thing that I heard was it was going to be released very soon but that was a long time ago.

I guess something must have happened. I will send you an PM with some contact information in case you want to send them an email.

On the other hand, I don't know anything new regarding updates for TrackMe on WM 6.5

At this moment they are still working on other projects :(

It would be nice to see a new version for Windows Phone 7 but I think I really need to be extra motivated to start working on the same project again :rolleyes:

But who knows...maybe one day...

Right now I'm working on a indie game for the Xbox and for Windows Phone 7. A lot of fun :) I plan to update my website soon with some extra information.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Are you using an internal GPS or bluetooth?

Try changing the way that you connect to the GPS from GPSID to a COM port.

Maybe that will resolve the issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
_LEM_,

Thanks for the update and PM! I'll be using those emails for sure. :) I'll let you know if I find out something.

I've not had an issue with the GPS losing connection with TrackMe unless the screen goes to sleep. Be sure you aren't letting the phone sleep because the GPS sleeps too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmcourir:
Hi

Thanks to reply,

But what if I want to log only every 30min. and does not put my TP2 at sleep mode, the battery will be dead.

Is there any other way to be able to log every 30m. with sleep mode ?

Thanks and have happy holidays!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Cell ID is the mode you need to use then. It works pretty good with getting your location but it's not as accurate as GPS. It operates during sleep mode unlike GPS. I personally don't use this mode and can't help you configure it off the top of my head...I do know it's the one you want though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmcourir:
Yeah!

Cell ID is not accurate enough for me either. Would like to use the GPS instead.

Also, on my TP2 Telus, CellID seems to not working.

Thanks again for your reply.

It would be great to see some new features on TrackMe!

:)

Hi All,

I'm just new to the forum and I was wondering if I could have some technical advice please? I have a Telit GM 862 GSM/GPS module I am using for a project of mine. I would like to use appropriate software on a laptop (via a GSM reciever I have connected to the hyperterminal) to give the location of this module via GSM when the GPS signal fails. Can you recommend a suitable software package and how I would do this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Jim.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v8dave:
Hi Jim,

What have you got hardware wise with the GM862-GPS? I am trying to understand what you have in more detail. Are you saying you have this module that will be located somewhere else, possible in a car, and another GSM terminal connected to the PC and you want to talk to the GM862 with it?

To get any form of communications going you are going to need a micro connected to the GM862 with software that makes a GPRS connection or sends SMS. This is assuming you only have the GM862 module by itself.

The GM862 is easy to drive with a microcontroller if the software you use has TCP/IP and PPP built in, otherwise you have to use the AT command set to do the connection for you. Either way will work.

Let me know in more detail what it is you are trying to do and I can see if I can help you out?

Dave...

PS.. I am also from Scotland, but living and working in Indonesia.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] James Hood:
Hi,

Can I add this software to a PC to show the location of a GSM device on the PC screen? Any advice greatly appreciated.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] James Hood:
Hi Dave,

Good to hear from you. Many thanks for your reply. What I am needing is for one of the modules I have to be remote from the laptop (mobile and in a car) and the other connected to the laptop hyperterminal. I intend for the cell location to be shown on the laptop screen via google earth or similar when the GPS signal is unavailable. To be honest, my background is not in electronics and this is a necessary part of my PhD project, which I need to finish very soon. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jim.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] James Hood:
Hi Dave,

I hope you are ok. I'm hoping I have not set myself an impossible task here. Any guidance you can give me would be very much appreciated.

Kind regards,

I can't really help you directly, but the great thing is that the TrackMe API is pretty decent and easy to work with... I've been using the TrackMe web service for around two years now, most of that time not using the Windows Mobile TrackMe client. I don't even use Windows Mobile any longer.

I have data being sent from Tasker in Android every 10m of my GPS coordinate, passive tracking.

If I want, I can enable active tracking using Tasker on my Android phone as well.

I have a track logging Bluetooth GPS which I run any time I'm out which collects data which is parsed and is also sent to TrackMe.

For me, the biggest value in TrackMe is the really nice web interface. :) I look at it directly, even a while back set up some extra KML exports so I can query it from Google Earth or other means.

I keep meaning to add some more axillary functionality, such as I'd like to see "The last 10 times I was at this location" kind of info. But it's not something I want to know very often, and it's pretty easily done in Google Earth using my exports. My export has no time bounds, so Google Earth asks for data of a certain area and it gets that data back. If it's a lot of data it'd be difficult to pick through, but generally I'm not doing it at the house or where I park at work or such. :)

Notification alert

Hi,

this wonderful program is installed on my HTC Diamond and Orbit. It works properly.

But this email message and all other notification alerts like this do I not understand why it is blocked:

Current position located OUTSIDE area. (19138,79 Km)

PC map: ERROR: Blocked - **6.**7.*4.**9 in xbl.spamhaus.or*g (***p://***.spamhaus.or*g/query/bl?ip=**9.**4.**7.**6])

Mobile map: ERROR: Blocked - **6.**7.**4.**9 in xbl.spamhaus.or*g (***p://***.spamhaus.or*g/query/bl?ip=**9.**4.**7.**6)

geofence

Because I am a new user, I filled the URL with asterisk (***).

I asked my GSM provider (o2 Germany) and he told me, that's not a problem from O2 it's a problem from sender of this notification. Who is the sender? I think it is the server/provider luisepinosa.com ...?

Has anybody an idea for the reason or sulution?

Thanks in advatage

brekki_xda
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
wow...that's very strange.

However I think I know what is happening. When I create the format of the email to be sent, I submit the link to a website that creates shorter links to make it clearer for the user. It seems for some reason when that request is done by your phone it gets rejected. Your IP looks blacklisted.

I haven't used TrackMe for a while now so I don't remember if I ended up adding an option for not creating shorter links. Take a look at the configuration just in case.

Sorry I cannot help you more!

Live Tracking - Change angle and height of follow

Hi,

Great program. I stumbled across it by chance and it works great on my iPaq hx2490b.

My main interest is live tracking in Google Earth and I wondered if it was possible to change the angle and height of the flyto refresh.

Non-stop tracking

I just wonder - if I want to Trackme to be on for days/weeks - will it split the trip (and name when set to none) on midnight? or will it keep as one data set?

or how to set it to split the data automaticaly without doing anything on the phone (stop and start again)

trackme webpage

I have installed my own server for trackme - all works fine, but in the setting I set to require password, but when opening the page, it does not require anything and open directly the map. where can I change or check the settings - is it in soem of the files - or somewhere in the database?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
maybe you already logged in once and have not locked out on your pc? the browser remembers this and pushes you through to the map, without asking again... try to log out and and reload the page... (maybe delete cookies, too)

This thread came up when I searched xda for "over the road truck driver"

I am about to go out for 5 straight weeks, and want my wife to be able to see where I am as accurately as I can... this work better than latitude? I set it to real time updating and doesn't seem to do much. Updates hourly or so, and I can get pretty far in an hour lol. My phone will just about always be on a charger so I don't mind updating gps constantly.

Also, I will be using "my tracks". When I shared the email link with friends, you can barely see the red line, this better for that purpose as well? From what I saw in market it looks good, but on my phone I can't sift through 500 pages on xda lol

Hi all,

I was just looking for something like this. I use my android all the time and before i had this phone i used a wm6 with trackme. And this profile and task is exactly what i'm looking for to use trackme with tasker.

can you share your profile and tasks? Or what format does the xml looks like when u send it to trackme web interface. Thanks in advance! Maybe it is possible to put this profile and tasks at the wiki of tasker so everybody can use this with trackme.

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Agreed, that's where I should put this, I just need to get to doing it. I've had several requests and I still haven't updated. I created a zip file about 5 months ago for someone but it's quite out of date. It's on my todo list. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ravensteijn:
Ok super! Until that time comes ;) can you or someone else tell me :

where i can find the format for the file (xml?, kml?, something else) i need to send to trackme online server or my own server?

I know the trackme program uses a mysql database to store its data on the wm6 phones but it needs a export format to send it to the server( am i correct?). I can then build something inside tasker myself.

UPDATED

I found a response of you (khaytsus) on this forum: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11166287&postcount=10

Is this correct and how does this line needs te be send (in XML format) or something else. Do you have an example file for me?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Nah, it's a web API via post variables, no posting data or anything. So yes, my post is exactly what is used. At one point I'd considered modifying some stuff to upload N datapoints at once, but right now if you upload 10 points, it does the call below 10 times. So clearly some optimization could be done, particularly if you're in offline mode. In that case I'd probably have done an XML post but I didn't ;)

/trackme/requests.php?a=upload&u=user&p=password&lat=dd.ddd dddd&long=dd.ddddddd&do=2011-02-06%2009:10:00&tn=Tripname_Date&sp=0.0&alt=279.0&an g=0&db=8&comments=Optional%20Comments&bs=98

a = action, you can look in requests.php for other actions

u = user (iirc, automatically created if it doesn't exist)

p = password

lat = latitude in decimal degrees

lon = longitude in decimal degrees

do = date/time of event (when the coordinate was captured)

tn = Trip Name (combines data of same tn in web server)

sp = speed in (I'd have to look... m/s I think)

alt = altitude in meters

ang = heading

db = database schema version (use 8, unless it's changed in requests.php)

comments = optional comments which show up on individual datapoints

bs = battery status

I'm hoping to put to that info on the Tasker wiki this weekend. :)

Is there going to be an android port or has someone gotten this to run on Android? Since I'm thinking about installing Android on my HD2 but I use this app alot :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ravensteijn:
hum. a bunch of single post parameter rows is hard to create in tasker when i want to use offline mode and send it all when i'm at home or somewhere with an wifi point or when i want to send it through 3g.

when i look on the trackme sites documentation at the live tracking part it says that the trackme tool sends kml files to its server. is that correct? I have an tasker profile (form the tasker wikipage tracker or something) that creates kml files for every trip i make with the correct data. Is it possible to use that to send to my trackme server? how does that kml file look like from the trackme program (can someone explain it to me) and how does trackme sends it to his server (and more important, can tasker send it "automagiclly").
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but I don't plan to make new ports of TrackMe (unless the company that acquired TrackMe asked me to)

However maybe if one day I feel very motivated I may do something similar for WP7. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyberde:
Oh too bad, cuz I like the fact that I can host that tracking website myself. Hence I really like your program! Is there any way to run it on Android using Mono? Or compile it with MonoDroid?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for your comments! To be honest I have no idea if that's possible. I have never heard about running Windows Mobile programs on a different OS.

I have used Google My Tracks on my desire. I use TrackMe almost daily but a few times I didn't have my Touch Pro with me and had to use the Desire it got the job done :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
AFAIK no, the TrackMe client never sends anything except post vars. And offline mode in theory is easy, just create a CSV and then read it again later. I have some pseudo Tasker code written down, just haven't done it yet.

Not reading the recent posts are you? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cyberde:
No I havn't, the 500 pages kinda hold me back :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ravensteijn:
hum ok. i can't really get tasker to send requests to luisespinosa.com

what do i need to put in the http post inside tasker?

Server:port ->

Path -

Data -

i tried several combinations.

khaytsus you're posting about put it to csv and send it later on. you mean post the gps positions in csv adding rows?

i'm also looking at google fusion for this. i can make KML files where al the gps points will be stored inside. maybe it is possible to send the data to that but i need to understand the api and http post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
UPDATE 2011-03-25

Still no news about updates. Not sure if the company that acquired TrackMe still plans to expand this application, move to WP7 or just leave it as it is now.

I don't have news about the iPhone version either.

Anyway, I will keep visiting the forums from time to time in case you guys have any questions.

Thank you guys for staying around and keeping this thread alive!

PS: If you guys have an Xbox maybe you wanna try my version of the game Distant Galaxies that I made for WM 6.5 (only 80 MSP!!) I'm currently working on a version for WP7. (sorry for the spam ;) )

Luis
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
My suggestion was that when I DO implement offline mode, it will be creating a CSV file as the storage for the data. When I go to upload, it'll load that file and upload each individual datapoint as individual requests to the Tasker server, just like it does normally. It'll of course upload with the time and such that the event occurred, not current time in this case.

I still haven't done offline mode, but I have started some clean up. I've simplified things a bit, and removed a few Tasks I really didn't need. Updated my documentation. Now I just need to go through it one more time and make sure it's cleaned up enough and still working right ;)

Content of Database

Hi,

I am still new with this. Was looking for a symbian version of TrackMe but to no avail, so i tried to fill in the database with some sample data but how do i change the png image? do i change it in FK_icons_ID? If you have sample data or a trip that would be great. Btw, i am using my own server to host this. Thanks for the help!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys... I have some news. Just wanted to let you know that I have written a new version of TrackMe for Windows Phone 7. Sorry for keeping this so secretly! :)

It still doesn't have all the features than the one for Windows Mobile 6.x but if people gets interested I will keep adding them.

Here are some pics

It is compatible with the viewer located at http://luisespinosa.com/trackme

You can download it from here

So... I don't know if this will be the last version...everything depends on how much interest it gets.

NOTE:

I have created a thread specific for the WP7. Please post your comments there.

You can find it here
