xdaradar, the KML files are only generated if you have Live Tracking enabled.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
hmm, typical me trying to be smart ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MagicGoldfishman:
I successfully uploaded the positions and then exported them as a .kml. I even trimmed off a few positions that were from previous trips. :) Thanks xdaradar, I really appreciate your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
thx, i'm glad it worked.

i think i keep it running for a while in case someone else needs this.

do you want me to delete your data now, since anybody can look at it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MagicGoldfishman:
Oh yes, that would be great.:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itsnotmeeee:
Fantastic application.

Installed server, client, and configured within 30mins.

Tested this morning and its running nicely.

2 questions which I have not spotted answers to in this thread..

1) Photo tagging does not appear to work. I take a photo mid journey, and when I goto upload it tells me no positions are found.

2) Also where can I add comments?

Thanks for all the hard work.

If anyone wants to make use of my server, let me know and ill give you details.

I can't get i work with CELL ID. Need more help. Thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] micrors4racer:
I want to use this program fro my Hermes. Since it doesn't have a GPS receiver, I have ot rely on CellID. Is there a way to add more cellid db's or can I only use the Google and TrackMe ones? Also, where is the TrackMe db stored at?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
sort of a dumb question but should this work on all service providers. i mean i live in pakistan and i tried this software, cant seem to get anything.

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
At this moment you can only use Google's or TrackMe's databases.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm not sure. I don't know if Google's database contains informations for Cell IDs for your country. What error do you get?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
But are you getting lat/long positions from Google or TrackMe databases?

I mean, have you been able to start tracking and get the information uploaded?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Are you storing the pictures with GPS information?

You can only add comments when you Force an Update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
No! The Program write:

262 is German

1 is T-Moblie

1982 is my Cell

Hope that help you and me :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think there is something wrong with your server.

First, when it tried to get the results from TrackMe's db (which is YOUR database) it will return Result:3 which is something that I don't return.

I have the impression you didn't update your PHP files correctly. Could you post your requests.php file?

On the other hand, it returns an error when it goes to Google.

It could be a problem that your server doesn't support PHP 5

I assume that you have the file gm_cellid.php5 on your server.

If I run the same query on my server it works fine. Here are the results for the cell id that you posted:

http://www.luisespinosa.com/trackme/gm_cellid.php5?myl=262:1:9483:1978
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
maybe you need to look at your network settings. From the screenshot it looks as if you're wifi connected, so maybe with a local address on your lan behind a router/firewall. Is your webserver allowed for outbound traffic. (the google search runs on your server trying to connect to google) And for the trackme part, if indeed you are on your lan requesting connection to your server with an url, is your pda allowed to go outbound to the internet and back again to your webserver.

start internet explorer and try to browse the internet and try to browse to your webserver where trackme database is on and see what happens.

Cannot get past "searching for satellites"

I recently updated my Bell Touch ROM to activate the GPS and it works like a dream with Google Maps. I thought I would try this app as people are raving over it, but my experience so far in the last couple of days has been anything but impressive.

I have installed it, set up what I thought was all the set up, but it will not connect or see any satellites.

I have tried with both the "CELL ID" on and then the "GPS" on, and neither will work... the CELL ID just hangs "getting cell id", and the GPS keeps "searchig for satellites".

Google Maps opens, starts and fires right up with my current GPS location.

Any help on what's going on or what I am missing before I uninstall?

edit: I am on the Bell Mobility network in Canada using CDMA with an unlimited data package...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available.

I just uploaded a new version that unchecks by default the option 'Upload Cell ID for each GPS position' for new installations

The reason is because it seems there are some ROMs that have problems accessing the library ril.dll for reading the cell id and may interfere if you using TrackMe with the GPS.

If you are using Cell ID tracking or you have the option 'Upload Cell ID for each GPS position' checked

and you experiencing lock ups... uncheck this option!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Check my previous post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
For people having freezing issues with the Cell ID. Could you guys try this test program that I wrote and let me know what you get?

http://luisespinosa.com/temp/cellid.exe

Basically it will try to get your cell id every 10 seconds

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phunzoid:
Calling ril library....

then it just hangs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
good. That means is not a Trackme's problem.

Let me do a small modification to the program and I'll give you another version.

Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmm... sorry but I don't think I will give you something else to test now.

I have to leave now because I'm going to be on travel during the weekend. I'll continue testing on Sunday.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
It says it is updating and says successful, but no KML file is generated. Here are some screen caps from the application:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
You also need to change the KML file line. Just search for "Slacker" and change it to our user ID as well. Sorry about that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
uhmm... could you double check that your trips have no name associated?

If you select <None> you are exporting only those trips. Maybe all your trips have a name.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pennywisdom:
I did see that the path to the KML file was off so I had fixed that as well. I checked the DBID, DBUSER, DBPASS as you said in the last post but all of those were correct in the php file.

I tried to set my settings in the Config for Trackme to mimic your screenshots but it still won't connect properly. For some reason I can't even get a local track to store properly. The kml appears in the Program Files\TrackMe but there was only one position in it from a track I tried yesterday and none from today will work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
I tried the new website files and made more manual edits (after seeing some more posts). However, I get this error when trying to up load (error from website).

Well nothing is working now. I can't get a kml file generated on my server at all despite many messages saying the file was created successfully....

The program runs, and entries are successfully being made in my POSITIONS table so I know the program and web server pieces are working correctly. But no matter what I do there are no KML files generated at all on my server, either automatically or by forcing an export.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Eitel:
I have the same problem. If I upload a kml file manually (FTP it) to the folder, it works fine. But I can't get the program to upload any file at all. Always get a "Unable to upload position"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Ok somehow I have hosed my folder for trackme... I installed to a new folder and it works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pennywisdom:
as in, on your website?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Okay, I am using the http link that was posted some pages back. I have entered my username/password/trip name. In firefox I get this:

Ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Yes, my problem was all me and my attempts to streamline a server install. Found a little problem and here is the current version...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
jcleek - what's new in this release?

I have just got everything working together and don't want to risk it if there's nothing worth upgrading for

Can someone help?

I am using the PHP script / Google API

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1661333&postcount=217

that was posted a few pages back. The problem is that I don't know how to define WHICH map to view or how to view a particular map.

$tripname = urldecode($_GET["tripname"]);

That would seem to work, but it's nowhere in the page. I am uploading to the default server (http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/) and I have about 5-6 "routs" uploaded but all I can pull using maps.google.com is the most recent map.

How can I define a particular map using this code:?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1661333&postcount=217

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
fixed a bug in the install. If yours works, leave it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
That map code shows whatever is in your KML file on the server in the routes folder. It is not to display a particular saved trip.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
okay, I created a php.ini that enables globals in my directory for these files. Now I am getting "Result:0" and my DB is finally getting filled out. However, my *.kml file is not getting generated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
I think a cool feature would be if you could choose the name of the kml file when you did an export. If we could then modify the index.php to show a drop down list of auto detected *.kml files we could choose which trip to display in google maps.

Just an idea.:)

EDIT: Just had a better idea. Could we modify index.php to do a SQL query for the trip names, and then based on the trip name selected build a .kml file for that trip (either itself or call export.php) so we could choose which of our trips to show a map of? Unfortunately I am not a PHP (or any web language) developer otherwise I would have a go myself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grizzley:
Maybe I do not understand you.

In the PHP page, this is in there:

var geoXml = new GGeoXml("http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/mymaps.kml");

(it really points to my username - I edited that to "mymaps)

Now, when I upload that page to my own server and then view it via a web browser, it displays my last trip in a Google map.

Notice that I said the LAST trip.... What I want to do is display "whatever map" I want to display; not always the last one I uploaded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pennywisdom:
jcleek, I don't understand why there are 2 different usernames. Am I using them properly?

In your install script, you ask for the username and password that go with the MySQL login. Those are what I can use to log into the MySQL on my site. That I understand, but you ask for a second username at the bottom of the install script as well. What is that username for? Am I supposed to use that name in TrackMe on my phone? If so, what is the password I am supposed to use as well?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] odie3:
Bah, had to use the PDA to get the *.kml file to get *exported*. However, there is no push pin on my map (and no errors either).

Man, this is driving me crazy! Suggestions?

NM, missed the web link to jcleek site on the index.php... I have been editing the files manually since I could never get the installer to work (last night).

All Is Well with this php web site now!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] can3gxw:
That did it! It works perfectly now!

Thanks!!

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'm still here :)

For people having that freezing problem, could you check the value of this key in the registry?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policy\APIs\RILGSM

If it is 2, try changing it to 1 and try the test program again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, now I really have to go.

But before I just uploaded a new version of TrackMe that shouldn't freeze your PDA for people having that issue with the cell id. It should give you an error message instead if TrackMe cannot read the cellid for 3 seconds.

Please guys try it and let me know how it goes.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
it's running with the update for a little while now with cellid active. Keeps working, but also no timeout messages or so. i'll keep testing.

By the way:

i have added http://www.opencellid.org/cell/stats to the search in gm_cellid.php5

Maybe you can try this. i can't test the php5 version, my local version works
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
this key is not present on my device, just rilgsm definitions in the buildin driver part.

but i don't have freezes as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] micrors4racer:
If I put this in my server, would it make cellID more accurate? Currently I cant get cell id to work. Right now it says something along the lines of that there is no data available for the current cell.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phunzoid:
i don't have that key :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
it's all a matter of luck. There are several initiatives to fill public databases. An example to try:

http://www.opencellid.org/cell/get?mcc=204&mnc=8&cellid=27771&lac=1120

in the trackme logscreen on your pda you see the values of the cellids. You can try via this url if they can be found.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
Found another celldb source and added it to the search. So now we have:

- google

- opencellid.org

- celldb.org

- our own cellid history in trackme

if anybody finds another cellid database we can use, please let me now.

i updated my server scripts for this, feel free to re-use:

Hi,

I installed TrackMe today and tested it, it works great on my HTC Touch Diamond.

No problems at all, works with both gps and cellid.

Tonight I went home and started TrackMe, at home I looked but the phone couldn't find a gps connection, I think because I had the phone in my trousers it couldn't get af fix before I got in the car.

Result the ride home wasn't tracked.

So I wonder because sometimes I don't have a gps connection (in house or in the car if the phone doesn't find a fix before I get in) if it is possible to send/save a cellid instead.

"Unable to create trip" error message

Hi there.

This is my first post on this forum, so go easy on me! I have installed Trackme on my Kaiser pocket PC and with the luisespinosa.com server, it works fine. It really is a great application :D

However, I really wanted to set up my own server, so I thought I would give it a go. Now, I haven't had

any experience

with PHP or MySQL, but that's never stopped me!

First, I installed PHP

Instructions I got here.

Followed these instructions through and ran the test.php at the end, everything looking ok! So far, so good!!

Then I installed MySQL. Instructions I got from here.

I have put this PHP script into my trackme folder, and when I run it from my web browser, it says that it has connected to mysql database successfully, so it would appear that PHP and my database are talking to each other. Would I be correct in assuming this?

<?PHP
//remember to change the password to whatever you set
//it to in mysql instance configuration

//first parameter is server name, 2nd username 'root', 3rd is password
$rst = @mysql_connect("localhost","root","root");

if (!$rst){
echo( "<p>Unable to connect to database manager.</p>");
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
exit();
} else {
echo("<p>Successfully Connected to MySQL Database Manager!</p>");
}

if (! @mysql_select_db("mysql") ){
echo( "<p>Unable to connect database...</p>");
exit();
} else {
echo("<p>Successfully Connected to Database 'MYSQL'!</p>");
}
?>

I also installed MySQL Administrator. I thought that as I haven't actually used SQL before, it might be better for me to have a GUI front end to start with. I then created a new Schema and called it trackme & ran install.php through my web browser. After I filled in all the blank fields in, everything seemed to have gone ok - no error messages. The config.php updated & the tables seem to have been imported successfully:

Table contents can be seen here : Database contents

However, when I go to my website, I get the following 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."

I have tried uploading data, but it keeps on saying "Unable to create trip" on my Pocket PC :mad:

I think that looking at the time stamps within MySQL Administrator, the only table that's being updated is 'user'. ( I have tried 3 different user accounts).

This problem has been keeping me up all night! I don't mind learning more about SQL, but can somebody please try and point me in the right direction? I really would like to get this working, but can't figure out why the 'trip' table can't be populated. I have even tried specifying the root account on my Pocket PC, but this has no effect.

Any help would be much appreachated.

David.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
Those things can drive you really mad, but keep on puzzling ;-)

Have you looked in your Apache errorlog and accesslog files. There's probably some kind of error listed in there.

secondly, after running the trackme install script to create the tables dit you remove the two files mentioned in the readme file on how to setup trackme server? You need to delete install.php and another one which name i forgot.

Another mistake often is made is userid/password autentication. If you setup your webserver in a way that it needs a userid/password to browse your webpages TrackMe won't work. the u/p from trackme on the pda is only used inside the trackme application and not to access your webserver
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] david.fensom:
Hi Xdaradar.

Thanks for replying.

Ah, well here is the first issue I suppose. I am using IIS V6.0, running on a 2003 server. Is this going to cause a problem? Does this only work with Apache? Everything installed okay (PHP and MySQL), and both components seem to bee seeing each other.

Yes, I deleted the install.php file, and the sql scripting file (database.sql)

At the moment there is no userid/password needed for browsing. I just have 'anable anonymous access' through the built in IUSR_<server> account.

I have looked at the logs generated on IIS, and they say the following. It doesn't mean a lot to me, but maybe somebody else out there that is running their server on IIS might be able to help ???

I have changed the password from what it is normally.

I can see that all the information seems to be getting to the IIS server. I see my trip name "Test" and also my speed, altitude, angle and cellid. However, I am still getting 'Unable to create trip' on my Pocket PC log :confused:

Any help would really be most welcome. I don't want to get this far and have to throw in the towel....

David
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah, it seems that it's only available for smartphones.

Maybe there is a similar key for PDAs, I'm not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That's not possible. I'm not sure if I will end up adding that.

GPS positions and Cell ID positions can be very different. And if you are tracking with your GPS but including cell id positions sometimes, your route may look very strange.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!!

- Added option 'Notification on demand'

TrackMe will send an email/SMS with your current position if a SMS is received

containing some specific text pattern. (Anti-theft feature)

- Improved performance for Cell id tracking.

- Ability to add Custom Databases for Cell ID tracking

(right click on Available databases)

For people using their servers:

- New files cellid_google.php5 and cellid_trackme.php

- File requests.php has been modified

- File gm_cellid.php5 has been removed.

At this moment we have only Google and TrackMe's community databases. If we find other providers we just need to add a new Custom Database and put a file on the server that retrieves the lat/long for a given cellid for that database. The name of this file must be cellid_[DatabaseName].php

I hope you guys can contribute with new databases that you find on the internet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
i'm not near a desktop, so reading this from my pda. Did you incorporate the two sources i build in gm_cellid.php5 and posted last night
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry I haven't looked at that yet.

I was very busy trying to add this new Anti-theft feature
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] roefje:
Thank you for your answer.

I think I have to need to learn to put my phone somewhere in the car were it can find and send gps positions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaradar:
Stayron,

everything works fine on the new release, the sms notifocation is nice ;-)

Also the flexible way to enter new cellid sources.

attached you'll find two of them, i could simply plug them in your new version

because celldb.org needs signing in i added two values to config.php

$celldb_org_userid = "your userid";

$celldb_org_hash = "your hashvalue";

you can get them at http://www.celldb.org/apisignup.php
