Thanks for that.

It's not really a problem with TrackMe. In one of the latest version I added some code that detects if no data is received from the GPS after some time. In that case I disconnect. However I plan to add an option to reconnect automatically if that happens. That may resolve your problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tigggger:
Fix the problem was probably the wrong wording, sorry.

Anyway done some more investigation with another touch pro 2 this one doesn't have that program I mentioned.

When the phone is in my pocket, I always use the power button to turn off the screen. It seems on the other phone this disconnects the GPS, which in turn is caught by your code and the message appears on the screen. I presume in old versions it would then just start tracking again, and will do again with a reconnect option.

The phone with the program I ran however still continues to track with the screen off (which is better anyway) and hence never disconnects. Would be good if the author lets you know how it is done.

Anyway I'm happy again, tracking is go. PS I did some code for a tracking signature see below. Posted it in the web development thread.

Cheers

I don't see a location? I am guessing you have TrackMe off?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah, the old version never checks if it stopped receiving data from the GPS.

The problem with this was if you were using a bluetooth GPS devices. In this case old TrackMe wouldn't tell you that the connection is lost and it would seem that everything is working fine. That's the main reason I added it.

PS: thanks for the signature code! I will add it soon to the main post

Regional problem i think

Hi

I was just playing with the GeoFence option.

If i create a GeoFence and say use current location it will enter the lat and long. I.e. 55.5467 9.4536

I then press okay.

then i edit the entry now the lat and long have change

55,5467 9,4536 Mark command rather than fullstop as decimal sepeator.

Then I press save.

Now i edit again

Now lat long is 555467 94536 Note comman compeltely gone.

Google earth live tracking problem

Greetings.

I have problem setting Google Earth to view live tracking. I followed instructions on TrackMe page how to set things in Google Earth to be able to get live position but without success. When live viewing my position via web interface everything works ok, but can't get GE to work with live tracking.

Also is there option when live tracking is on in web interface viewer that it refresh to satellite background insted to google maps view?

What error message do you get?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v8dave:
Can't see the server

Hi all,

Nice application and after trying with the free server, I decided to setup with my own. All went well with the setup but the phone reports an error to "Check you are entering a user and password in the account information" which I have done so.

If I manually enter the following URL it comes back with Result:5 in the browser.

http://www.******.co.uk/trackme/req...:10&dateoccurred=2007-10-30 9:57:10&tripname=

What is the meaning of Result:5?

If I setup the phone to send to luisespinosa.com it works just fine.

Is there some missing setting I have missed?

Cheers,

Dave....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
You left &db=8 off the URL, which is why you're getting a 5. It's a database schema failure code. Add that, then try your URL again?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v8dave:
I went through the PHP code and found where it is coming from.

Still can't get the phone to connect to my server. Works ok on the free test server though so I know the PDA is setup correctly.

The SQL database is working as the installation worked and it created the database successfully, so the server address of LOCALHOST appears to be correct.

Need some more debugging I think!!

Hi Tigggger,

Do you still have problem with the newer version of TrackMe ? I have a TP2 and getting "Connection to GPS Lost" too! I installed the GPSTweaker like you said and put the GPS active even after pressing suspend-button but still have the same error.

Please let me know what is your trick to fix this problem.

Only the last position need

Hello,

in google earth I can see more than one GPS user by installing their kml files.

Is there any way to see only the last positions and not the hole track?

I'll input a place and after the zoom i'd like to see the nearest user.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry guys... I said sometime ago that I was going to add a reconnect function. I haven't done that yet but I haven't forgot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think that's not too hard to do if you have some knowledge of PHP and SQL.

In case you are interested and you are using your own server, the KML files are generated in the Export.php file. You would have to make some changes in the SQL query.

Problems with Google Earth and Windows 7

Is anyone viewing with Google Earth and Windows 7?

I can not track with Google Earth.

Tested on 4 Windows 7 PC's.

Google Earth otherwise seems to be working fine.

No problems using same settings with Windows XP. Works great.

I can add network link, it shows correctly on sidebar, (and box is checked), but no tracking.

If I change GE options to "Show Prompts For All Errors", I see the following error message:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J.T.G:
I have a few question about TrackMe ( sorry if they been ask before, I search but did not find ) :(

1.To track my mates phone dose he need to have TrackMe installed? Or is there an app the can make the KML, not everyone I know has a window mobile.

2. Could I make my phone host the server ?

3.If I host my own sever can I increase the encryption or is it set within TrackMe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi J.T.G,

If you want to track a phone using TrackMe, that phone needs to have the TrackMe client installed.

No, that's not possible.

You can make any changes to the PHP pages as long as they stay compatible with the TrackMe client. However, you cannot really change the way the data is sent from the client, so I don't think this will work for you.

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

- Added option to reconnect to GPS when connection is lost (this is useful

when using bluetooth GPS devices) (you need to enable this option from the Configuration->Source menu)

I haven't been able to test it because I don't have a bluetooth device with me, so hopefully it will work ok!

Why don't you use the Google database to get the Cell ID information instead of yours? It should be much more precise than yours.

It's hard to know where is the problem. Something that you can try is to install this:

http://luisespinosa.com/bin/trackme/NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab

By doing that you won't get the message 'An error message cannot be display because...' and it will actually tell you the description of the error.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
*yawns* It took me a couple of days, but I've finally finished reading this thread from beginning to end...

I've not yet installed on my Ozone yet, but plan on doing that over the next half hour. I'm not an expert when it comes to PHP, but I hope to be able to maybe do some work with the web viewer over the next couple weeks after I play around with the actual TrackMe program using your website.

I see that there may be an issue with running it on my Ozone with the "Unofficial/Official" VZW WM6.5 version. I think the last update was that it was working after a solution of a few installs and uninstalls of the various components.

LEM, I saw you post about using a cooked WM6.5 version for the Ozone, if you don't mind me asking, which version are you using? The 6.5 version I just put on is the first flash for the Ozone I've done. I used to use a few different firmwares when I was using plain phones on T-Mobile, but now I get the benefit of having a free smart phone on VZW for free and haven't done much other than registry edits on my old Q9 and the Ozone.

Having just set it up on WM6.5, I still haven't gotten all my customizations done and am curious to try some different cooked ROMs before I bother setting it all up again.

Anyway, thanks for providing such a great sounding program and I hope to make great use of it. Hopefully in the future, once my financial situation becomes more stable (maybe even in the black instead of in the red, though that might be hoping a bit too much...) I'll be able to donate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi gorgarath,

Thanks for your comments and for your help extending the web viewer.

I really appreciate that.

Unfortunately the problem with the Ozone is not resolved. I thought it was, but I wasn't testing it right and I believed it was working. I haven't found a way of turning off the screen without keeping the GPS active.

I have also tried with other programs and they all show the same behavior.

I think there has to be a way, but unfortunately not much development has been done for the Ozone, so I haven't gotten too much help.

I still use TrackMe with the Ozone but I need to keep the screen on. I don't think it has to do with the ROM that you install. It has to be with some internal Windows mobile settings. I still believe that there is have to be a way but I haven't found it yet. I will let you know if I find it out one day.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
I headed over to the web development thread and see that mcross is finishing up some code, so that gives me some time to play before I worry about doing anything with the web viewer. The stuff he and jcleek did was pretty nice. So I'll wait for his new cleaned up (and possibly with more functionality) version to be released before I start doing anything.

I could swear that Google Maps keeps tracking me even when the screen turns off, but I could be mistaken. I mostly have only used GMaps when visiting out in NJ or heading to the Pittsburgh Zoo. (I can finally get there without making wrong turns now! :D)

EDIT: My mistake, I was thinking of timeout and GMaps going into the background. Still not sure if it keeps tracking or not then, but you were referring to your Screen Off function. I just tried it on mine, and the logs show it kept updating every 30 seconds. Granted I'm sitting at home, so I can't really verify that is getting new positions or using the cached ones. I'll try again tomorrow at work, it's been pretty lax lately, tomorrow's bound to have me driving to a couple of the different buildings. /EDIT

In regards to gathering cell IDs on a CDMA network, how can I tell if GMaps is locating by IP address and not cell IDs? I don't have my wifi on right now, but GMaps is showing me to be about a block and a half down and a block over from my house. Pretty damned accurate really. I'll have to check out what it says on my way to work tomorrow when I hit a section that has pretty much no signal. Can hold a call through it usually, but have a hell of a time making one when in the area. Texts go fine though. But yeah, I ramble a lot, so feel free to tell me to shut up at any time, my wife always does. ;) But yeah, how can I tell how GMaps is getting my position?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gorgarath:
I ran TrackMe on my drive in to work this morning. (Well, once I woke up enough to remember to turn it on as I was leaving town...) I got the first position and then turned the screen off. It tracks points the whole way. Though, it's the same position every time until I came back to the application.

I'll be testing throughout the day if I end up going anywhere. I don't have any GPS signal in my office, though I did see it pick up a random satellite now and then, else I'd try walking around the building. (I dropped it back down to only requiring one sat. so I can try running around the building later...)

I doubt it'll be any help, but I'm using your server with live tracking and the user gorgtest (http://bit.ly/8c8W8A) if you feel like checking in on my tracks to see if there's anything helpful there. If you want to log into the web viewer to be able to see all my test tracks, let me know and I can give you the password. (Right now I there's only this track to work this morning, but that will hopefully change in a bit when I head to another building.)

EDIT: Are you specifying a port for the GPS or using the intermediate driver on the Ozone? Would this make a difference? I'm using the intermediate driver currently.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, that's exactly the problem that I have. It always returns the same position. It doesn't matter if I use GPSID or a COM port. I have really made a lot of testing and I have no idea why this happens.

Regarding the Cell ID tracking on a CDMA network, I haven't tried that for a while. Maybe Google Maps works now because they have found a way.

I may revisit this one day but not soon. Right now I'm working on a different project and I don't think I will be adding new features to TrackMe (only bugs fixing) for a while...

PS: Thanks for your help testing the program on the Ozone.

Cheers
