Well guess I should of read all the posts to see that the option to use your own database was an option. I managed to get it all set up, but I had some problems. This was due to the way my php is setup.

Had to add the following to requests.php

$action = $_GET["action"];
$username = $_GET["username"];
$password = $_GET["password"];
$lat = $_GET["lat"];
$long = $_GET["long"];
$dateadded = $_GET["dateadded"];
$dateoccurred = $_GET["dateoccurred"];
$datefrom = $_GET["datefrom"];
$dateto = $_GET["dateto"];
$tripname = $_GET["tripname"];

And adding the following to googleearth.php

$action = $_GET["action"];
$username = $_GET["username"];
$password = $_GET["password"];
$lat = $_GET["lat"];
$long = $_GET["long"];
$dateadded = $_GET["dateadded"];
$dateoccurred = $_GET["dateoccurred"];
$datefrom = $_GET["datefrom"];
$dateto = $_GET["dateto"];
$tripname = $_GET["tripname"];

Have to declare those variables yo!

I'm doing all of my changes/additions in ASP.Net 2.0 in C#. I'm connecting to a SQL 2005 server but could connect to a SQL 2000 server as well.

In regards to PHP I do not know PHP super well and wanted to get some functionality added asap so that people could use it so I coded it in my native language. Once I'm done with the C# version (which should be this weekend) and have a working prototype I'll look into redoing it in PHP, unless someone wants to collaborate with me on that.

If anyone wants to use my server it's free and I have a very beefy server to work with. If not and they have an ASP.Net server they can use, let me know.

Peace!

Blackjack II?

I'm curious if anyone out there is successfully using TrackMe on the Blackjack II, and if so whether they have any installation/use tips.

For example, do you first use this application to unlock the device's onboard GPS?

Do you then make any other special settings in either the phone's OS or TrackMe itself to enable TrackMe to use the correct COM port?

For the sake of reference, according to its "about" screen my Blackjack II uses "Windows Mobile 6 Standard / CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)." According to what I've read online, this device has a built-in "SiRF III" GPS receiver.

I've chosen to pay for the TeleNav service, and have already installed and activated it on this device, in case that's relevant.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What error do you get when you run TrackMe?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blorfle:
I haven't tried to run it yet: basically I'm pretty nervous about the unlocking hack, and TrackMe is the only reason I'd have to run the hack. I only want to proceed if I have confidence that other folks have gotten it to work :(

I realize that sounds cowardly :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blorfle:
OK, I actually took the plunge and went through with this.

First I installed the hack linked to above, to make the GPS available to other applications. I confirmed that this worked by getting "Use GPS" in Google Maps to work.

Then I installed and tried to run TrackMe, and got an error suggesting the http://luisespinosa.com/bin/trackme/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab file was needed, to I installed that. Then I got an error suggesting the http://luisespinosa.com/bin/trackme/sqlce.ppc.wce5.armv4i.CAB file was needed, so I installed that, and got the following error when trying to run TrackMe (which I also got after rebooting):

Do you know if your PDA uses Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone edition?

TrackMe doesn't work with smartphones because it uses some controls that don't exist on that version.

He mentions in an earlier post that he is running WinMo 6 Standard aka Smartphone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
hi staryon,

i hadnt tried the gps gate program i have now though and yes it works but its the only program on my device that needs it maybe having a debugging lo would help? to identify why it happens. i'll have a search on the net when im at home and see if i can delve deeper into it.

oh and if it helps the gps light confirming the gps is active does light and flash indicating that TTrackme seems to have oppened the port and started the built in gps. its just the device locks up.

ps the gps port splitter built into wm that you mentioned further back which u suggested does not make any difference even tho all my other progs use it fine.

many thanks,

Image upload not working on personal server?

I just went through most of the thread as well as attempted to search. I found tidbits about a resize.php being able to resize uploaded pictures so it seems that the upload feature (in general) should be working in the latest build.

However, when I attempt to do a forced upload with an image to my personal server, I receive an "error copying file" error. My image file is tiny (13kb). Another variable is that my hosting service is running MySQL 3 so I had to do some tweaking on the SQL code to get it to create the tables (change the date format, remove 'default' and 'utf-8' references, and reduce the varchars to 255. The imageURL is originally supposed to be a varchar(512), but MySQL 3 can't handle above 255. Just in case the field was too small for the url string, I tried using varchar(255) as well as largetext, but that didn't seem to help. Also, I created a subdomain, rather than use the trackme path, so my server looks like http://whereis.me.com rather than http://me.com/trackme. I'm not sure if the app is hardcoded for the /trackme or not.

Another 'bug(?)' I found is that the "show position on map" feature still uses

luisespinosa.com/trackme/gm.php

even though a different server is specfied in the configuration. Is this a bug or intended? Not a big deal, just something I noticed.

Has anyone else been able to upload images to their own server?

Thanks!

*** EDIT ***

Found it, permissions on the pics folder weren't loose enough. I have it set at 777 now, which scares me. What should the permissions be for all of the folders and files?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It used to be a zip, but since we were updating files constantly, it was really a pain to create a zip every time there was a small change. On the other hand you really have to do that just one time. After that, you just need to check what's new and download it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What about the second link? Did you check that app and enable the option to let Windows manage the GPS automatically?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Maybe it should go there only if you are working in local mode and you are not specifying a remote server... I'll think about it. I think you're right...

Keep in mind that the pictures are uploaded to that Pics folder, so you need write permissions, otherwise it would be impossible to upload any files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blorfle:
OK, thank you for clearing that up: I didn't realize "Windows Mobile 6 Standard" meant "Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone."

So, given that my device uses the smartphone edition of WM6, can anyone recommend a program like TrackMe that will work on my device? Alternatively, are there firm plans to make TrackMe work on WM6/Smartphone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
yes mate i knew about that before and on my other device (I own a universal, artemis and a hermes) its always been enabled, infact the gpsgate program connects to the actual com port 4 that is provided by that program in the first place, so its splitting the port again after the windows gps program already has, if that makes sense

com 3 (gps) ---> windows sends to com 4 ---> gpsgate recieves 4 then sends to com 7 ---> trackme works ok

direct to com 3 or 4 with windows gps on or off freezes device.

My GPS Speedo software works (a freeware app from somewhere)

and Memory Map OS also Tom tom and copilot...

hope this helps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blorfle:
Just for peace of mind, I have to ask: could I have messed up my phone by installing the Compact Framework 3.5 thing, and the SQL Server Mobile 3.5 thing, and then deleting them?

In other words, did my act of installing these overwrite a version that was already installed with WM6/Smartphone, then when I deleted them the phone no longer has them, leading to mysterious problems down the road?

I hope the answer is no :(

I'm very new to all this unfortunately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
deleting them wouldnt be a good thing :-(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Blorfle:
So I should reset my phone back to a factory state, then start over again with everything I've installed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I would really like to create a version for Smartphones but it's A LOT of work, because there are some many controls that are not compatible and I will have to change one by one.

Unfortunately I didn't know that when I started writing TrackMe (actually it's my first Compact Framework application that I write) otherwise I would have only used compatible controls for the program, so I don't have to do that now.

In summary, I cannot tell you... it depends if I don't start working on other projects, and if there is enough interest in a version for smartphones...

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
thanks for the information... honestly, I don't really know why people using Artemis have to use gpsgate to get TrackMe to work... it's so weird... I just open a COM port and listen to it... nothing else. Sorry I cannot help you more with that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Why don't just you just leave it? As far as I know CF3.5 is much faster than CF2.0 so most of the applications should work better with a newer version.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/mysite/public_html/trackme/index.php on line 259

and

The Google Maps API key used on this web site was registered for a different web site. You can generate a new key for this web site at http://code.google.com/apis/maps/.

now the address i put in the google maps api request was http://mysite.com\trackme\index.php and I also tried just http://mysite.com

any ideas? the app on my tilt works great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
on my server it did not save the google api information to the config.php download that off your server open it in notepad or something look for the bit that says google api or similar and paste it in between the "" now save it then re-upload to site the mysql errors will continue untill you first upload some data to it off your device :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Woof_:
ya was just looking at the config file and notcied no api saved. put it in there and we'll see what happens. thanks for the help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
no worries! also the refresh doesnt save...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Woof_:
for some reason it doesnt like my api. was i correct in the request by putting in the trackme folder ot should i just do the root site?

I always over think things.

I'm kind of late here, but what exactly does this program do? I have a Tilt with GPS and an 8525 with no GPS. Will it run on both?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
the route site covers all your site thats :

http://mysite.com

http://mysite.com/trackme

http://mysite.com/trackme/somemore/

http://mysite.com/trackme/somemore/andmore/

so register just http://mysite.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] collins199820:
i presume so is the 8525 a pocket pc? not a smartphone? ifyou connect a wired or bluetooth gps yes it should work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Woof_:
ya the 8525 will work if you get an ext gpsunit.

Well I got mine working on my own server. This is DAMN cool!!

My hat is off to Staryon and jcleek for putting this together. I have only had my Tilt since thursday and was not sure I was gonna keep it. Finding it had a gps (didnt know when I bought it) and then this program makes it worth every penny.

Firstly thank you for creating such a usfull tool. I have managed to install to my own webserver and it is working fine if pages are left public.

If however, I change it to private (the way i would like to run it) i cant log in it still uploads data fine and i'm able to view if i revert back to a public page.

Have i missed somthing blatant (i have tried to read all 160+ pages of this thread)

Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

Server Security Question

Hi guys, I have a security question.

I've been using trackme on my own server for about 2 months. During my Decemebr holiday I uploaded data very often untill my server got hacked. My ISPs technician says that it was most probably hacked by a unsafe PHP application with upload function.

I'm not saying it was hacked using the upload function in Trackme but this is the only app I installed within 1 year that uses such a upload function.

Therefore my question to the PHP geeks, how safe are the Trackme server PHP scripts?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bjur:
I have the problem, that when I'm loading up google earth, it doesn't take the newest trip, but an old, eventhough I have deleted it from the program. It's no problem showing it in trackme display page, but not in google earth. Have also set the refresh in google earth to 30 sec, but don't know what is wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The only data that TrackMe uploads are pictures. I don't have too much experience with PHP I hope other people can give you more information about that.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Are you using live tracking? If not, and you want the latest trip, you need to use the Export function and select the trip that you are interested in.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bjur:
If you by live tracking means real time tracking in google earth, where you should use refresh and FLY TO VIEW ON REFRESH i have done that just like the turial says?

It's an EXCELLENT program btw, just hope to get it to work in google earth which has the best and closest pictures:)

Thanks for your help.

My config is the following:

IN GENERAL:

Working mode: Remote

Trip name: auto_09-01.08...

Create new trip automatically if trip none is selected (ticked)

Clear trip name when app. exits (ticked)

Live Tracking: Generate KML file (ticked)

It seems that you still have the old SQL Server 3.0 installed.

You need the new version 3.5

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Woof_:
Hey Staryon,

I was at CES here in Las Vegas yesterday and while I was in the Microsoft I struck up a conversation with a gentleman from Microsoft who carried an unlocked Kaiser. We were discussing the cool things our phone did and I mentioned Trackme to him. I would have given him the cab right there but I forgot that I had it on my sd card. Anyway he was very intrigued. He didnt like the fact that it only worked with Google maps/earth and not Windows Live. Not mad of course, but feeling left out maybe. Anyway he was very interested and will be coming here to download and try it.

Who knows you might get a call from Microsoft.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Maybe the fields Latitude and Longitude have not the right type, and it cannot store the data with the right precision. However that shouldn't be happening if you just run the script.

The type of those 2 fields should be double.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
he he... that's funny. Thanks for letting him know about the program.

When you say Windows live, do you mean Virtual Earth? Is it free?

I'll do some research, maybe it's not too complicated to make it compatible.

Thanks again.

no they have Windows Live maps, kinda like Google maps. Its free too and has some nice features. You can check it out at mobile.live.com.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
ok, thanks for the information. I'll check it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] beandip:
I guess let me dig further into this. The fields are type Double and looking at the tables the stored values reflect the incorrect map readings I am seeing.

Something must be up either with the GPS or the upload mechanism. I think the program and the phone are not at fault since it works with your server so maybe it is something with my server.:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Loket1:
Thanks for quick support

I have only used the 3 files that are in first post . The framework 3,5 file , Sql server 3,5 and trackme.

But after I got this problem I read in the FAQ section in the first post about this error ,so I installed the sqlce30 file that is recomended there. But it didn't solved the problem.

However, I have uppgraded another HTC3600 to wm6 today. I will intall Trackme on that one tomorrow and se if I get the same error.

Best regards

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
My fault. Sorry. I should have removed that from the FAQ because that was for the old version, when SQL Mobile 3.0 was needed.

Now you need SQL Mobile 3.5

Maybe you have both versions running on the pda for some reason... I'm not sure...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Loket1:
OK

I will tried to uninstall everything and check so that all of the files are gone. And then reinstall the files. It is proberly as you say, same of the files from the first instalation are still there and conflicting with the other files.
