wafwot made some changes to the install and I made some changes to the index and language files. Staryon can you pull the latest version and test/post?

Version 1.07 changes:

1) fixed the pxpx problem in the installer (wafwot)

2) Created a color selector for installer (wafwot)

3) Several bug fixes in installer (wafwot)

4) Moved the text for miles/kilometers and feet/meters to language.php

Someone will need to update the german and spanish entries in the language files for the 6 new variables.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
since he has not uploaded it right now i changed the things that where added inbetween in the 1.06:

Tranlation for none and any, correction in the incomplete_install_text.

And there is a question as well:

If i select any, i see the same result with none wich is the worldmap without a trip ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I_Need_help:
Hi

I'm still having issue could you please help me!

I have just reloaded 1.6 of the Trackme Display and version 2.3.0.39 on the PPC. I'm loading it on a shared hosted server. no installation errors were reported (however the google key did not get written to the config.php file automaticaly).

I point the PPC app at the server an it creates the user name and PW in the DB OK

But I get Unable to create trip as an error on the pcc!

I wrote a small ASPX file and I can see all the query string:

QUERY STRING - 2007.12.02-14.12.21

action: upload

username: test

password: xxxx

lat: XX.7411734333333

long: Y.550051416666667

dateadded: 2007-12-2 14:11:55

dateoccurred: 2007-12-2 14:11:54

tripname: Auto_02.12.07_14.10.00

speed:

altitude: 53

All tables are empty on the DB except 1 username and PW.

When I manual run the SQL statment

Insert into trips (FK_Users_ID,Name) values('1','test')

I get

#1364 - Field 'Comments' doesn't have a default value

Setting a default value for comments stops the error and gets me one step further on! It now records the trip name but none of the data!

HELP

So I guess this is my error but why?

Could it be that i'm using a mysql 5 db?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I_Need_help:
I seem to have it working now by adding the following lines to the update action in the requests.php the lines I added were the last two, the issue is if the speed is 0 i.e. not moving it doesn't sent 0 it sends speed= and this null is causing an issue in the insert as null is not allowed and for some reason the default 0 is not used it's place!

$lat = $_GET["lat"];

$long = $_GET["long"];

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

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

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

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

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

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

if ($icon == "" ) $icon='null';

if ($speed== "" ) $speed='0';

if ($altitude== "" ) $altitude='0';

One other minor issue is if like me you use your ppc in portrait mode you never see the server options in the config tab as the pannel is not scrollable.

i have attached the modded requests file in addition to the changes above i added one for blank comments on new trip create so it should work mysql5.

thanks

I've been messing around with TrackMe over the last week or so doing local tracking throughout the day in preparation for a trip abroad next week. It does eat battery as can be expected but it will survive the day with a usb battery pack to assist.

I've noticed one odd thing, I have the GPS set to get a fix every 2 minutes with power down inbetween, for the first couple of hours of run time it seems to run ok, after a while however, the status field shows 'Searching for satellites...' inbetween each fix indicating (to me) that the GPS hasn't actually powered down. This doesnt affect the fix's which proceed as normal but if it is the case is certainly having an adverse effect on my battery life! Unfortunatly I don't know any way of finding out directly if the GPS is powered or not to prove this theory!

Am I simply misinterpreting the status field here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] z_zk_z:
simple auto log-on question

1) I want to add a link to my personal web page, so others can see my location on Google map. How do I use this link to auto log-on or how do I add username/password to the link, so it would log-on automatically (http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php)?

2) That web page shows my last location but it doesn't display the Trip. Does the Show Trip work for others?

Thanks for any help...

PS. THANKS for the TrackMe program. It is very cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mmoroz:
thank you for the fun program!

small problem -- i must be missing something very simple

trackme works fine -- the log shows everything is uploaded to the server correctly:

Uploading ...

Position addded correctly

Generating remote kml file

Remote kml file generated correctly

Skipped: dist. .99 meters

etc etc

but when I'm trying to use Google Maps (or direct URL) to view the kml file, it's not there. I even changed my username to try it again, but no luck. I checked the URL many times, it seems correct:

http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/(my username).kml

tried http://luisespinosa.com:80/ etc etc as well

error is "page not found"

also, when I tried to login to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php, it wouldn't let me (says username/password incorrect).

Thanks!

To give some relief to staryon's server and to give benifits to others, I'd like to find an easy way to setup accouts on my server for other people to use this application with a database of their own.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php?username=????????&password=????????

Obviously you need to replace the ??????'s with your real user name and password.

And yes, the web page is working correctly displaying both trips and current location.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Did you check the boxes to create the remote KML file? Its in the config section under the REALTIME TRACKING tab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
The application will work on your server just like it works on Staryon's server. If you have the files installed and it works for you it will work for anyone. They can create an account on your server just like they do on Staryon's (automatically with the PDA application).

hi everyone!

top software, i have spent ages trying to find something like this!!

Quick question / development idea....

My Mrs came up with this as she has a Vario III as well...

Would it be possible for a "panic" feature to be introduced?? so literally a button on the phone is re-mapped so on a press and hold, it generates an "alarm" or "red alert" which sends a txt message of her location (or google maps url etc) to a specified number / email address? etc etc.

Just an idea... i thought it was a good one!

Thanks again!

Top app!

Chris

hi guys

I'm sorry that you guys haven't heard from me for a few days.

I was on travel overseas and I finally I have access to my computer.

jcleek, I checked my email but I didn't got anything from you.

Could you send me your latest changes?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I will check it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You can try this:

Awesome software!!

Just to let you know that the TrackMe_Server.zip file is corrupted. I'm getting and error when extracting the files (Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): disk #1 offset: 14063).

Can you please check?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
sorry about that. Please try again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mmoroz:
Yes of course I did. "Generate KML file" and "remote" both checked..

Maybe my username was too short (3 letters)? But it didn't complain..

If you want to, send a PM with your username so I can take a look.

Not updating from GPS

Hi Guys

I've been using trackme on my Prophet with a Bluetooth GPS for about a month and have been really impressed. Last week i recently became the owner of a Touch Dual, I've install the latest version of Trackme but im having an issue.

When i set the software going, it grabs the initial co-ords from the gps and updates to the website perfectly, but afte that, all i get is the message about skipping update cos ive not moved. If i turn off the option to skip updates if i havent moved X meters, it updates to the website, but the co-ord stays the same. Its like once its got the initial co-ords it cant get anymore from the gps.

I've tried a number of things, including getting trackme to use the bluetooth comport directly, via the WM6 gps sharing utility and even with Franson GPSGate, but the result is the same.

I've also tried uninstalling, manually removing the settings file and then reinstalling but that dont work either.

My gps device is working fine as I can use google maps to track my location.

Im using the latest version, which i beleive is 2.3.0.39.

Does anyone have any ideas as Im really stumped.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks, I just updated the files with that change and also with the Spanish translation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Could you enable the option 'Log GPS positions to a file' and if you got the error again, send it to me?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
jcleek,

I have a suggestion for you...

Do you think you can add an option to delete a trip (and it's positions) and another one to rename a trip name from the browser?

I don't have the option to rename the trip name in TrackMe, but I plan to add it.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bottkars:
And add here to export to a local kml file from Browser ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available!!

New features:

- Geofence

- Ability to select unit (Metric/English)

- For remote storage you can choose not to upload anything and store everything in the remote file. This is good if you know that you are not going to have internet connection and you don't want to be trying to reconnect all the time. Later you can upload this offline data.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Next version will include the ability to upload images.

However before doing that I want to have a stable version, so I'm going to spend some time cleaning my code and optimizing some routines.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] z_zk_z:
want to upload it to the free server

I have a file called route.kml on my AT&T Tilt Pocket PC (which I checked it with Google Earth and it shows my GPS locations) and I want to upload it to the free server. When I go to upload that file (Tools/Upload offline positions), I get an error telling me: You don’t have offline positions stored. I also tried the Tools/Export GPS Positions (with source=local, destination= remote), and it tells me .kml file uploaded correctly (File http://luisespinosa.com:80/trackme/routes/zzkz.kml), however the free server only shows the world map and not my GPS locations. Can anyone recommend something for me to try to fix this issue? THANKS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I don't know if I understand. You cannot upload a kml file...

Where do you have your data stored locally or remotely?

anyone else have troubles installing the newest .cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adebilloez:
no GPS position in mySQL database

I was using this application with my own server without any problem but now I'm getting in trouble by using the 2 last version of cab and Server.

Everything seems correct:

* Application (ppc) connect, say position uploaded , able to list track

* Web part working fine (show older track...)

If I create a new track the track is created in the database. but no position is stored...

I assume the error is coming because install.php doesn't update my older position table with appropriate columns (for speed and altitude?)

Columns exist as this : Altitude double No 0 ->no null accepted is this could be the cause?

Is it possible to help me on how to update position table ?

If not what could be the cause?

Thnaks for the help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What problem do you have...?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbritten:
i'm sure its on my end. keeps saying installation unsuccessful
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
did you check that you don't have TrackMe running?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Please check my previous posts, when I released the version that included altitude and speed, I posted a script that updates the database for people using their own servers.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adebilloez:
Thanks for you update! I finally manage to get the correct search keyword to found the Alter.

But it seems that database is ok, I have this for "positions" table :

ID int(11) No auto_increment

FK_Users_ID int(11) No 0

FK_Trips_ID int(11) Yes NULL

Latitude double No 0

Longitude double No 0

DateAdded timestamp Yes CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

DateOccurred timestamp Yes 0000-00-00 00:00:00

Altitude double Yes 0

Speed double Yes 0

is this ok ?->DateOccurred timestamp Yes 0000-00-00 00:00:00

i'm in french reginal settings.

I'm pretty sure that is coming from my database structure ... but why ? And the applic report me that the upload is succesfull.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
I am not really sure how I would do this for a public server implementation. I will have to think about it. It may well be the right thing just to only offer a private setup.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
This only tells you if the command was sent to the database or not. It doesn't tell you the result of the command once was executed.

I assume that you also updated the php files on your server, right?

Hi Staryon

Geofence -great idea. I can't appear to get it to work though. I have my home lat/long entered and a 250m "fence". It's enabled but doesn't send an email (btw could it have an SMS option too - more instant and direct).

What is the "Notified" tickbox. Does this show it has triggered?

Thanks for a great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
What value did you entered exactly in the Distance field?

Yes, the Notified checkbox shows if it was triggered.

Not sure about SMS... maybe if I find a way of using Outlook internally I may get it. The problem with this is everything needs to be done automatically without user interaction.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbritten:
I think the geo fence is cool too. One bug I noticed though. when you first go to add an alert, it asks for the distance in meters, (even if "english" is selected in config) BUT when you go back in edit the alert it changed to either km or Miles depending on config. SO if you go in the first time and enter 250 meters (which is the unit it's asking for) it actually sets it for 250 km or 250 miles.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bwired:
I'm I right that the option to log to your own server is NOT in the trackme program anymore. Cant seem to find it anymore
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] warmkiwi99:
Aha, yes. Didn't notice the KM for the geofence radius. Thought it was metres! Will try again.....

Still no trigger. USed 1km from my office to trigger when outside. didn't fire

Then changed it for my journey back to trigegr when inside. that didn't fire either.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I'm sure I should know this...but how do I download the cab file in Pocket IE? All I get when clicking the link is a text rendering of the cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmm... you're right. I'll fix that. It should be km and miles.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you uncheck the option 'Hide Advanced settings'?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I'll test it again but I thought it was working fine.

How did you enter the lat and long? manually?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Try with right click and save as...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I don't have a right click. When I try to hold the stylus (or finger) on the link it immediately follows the link rather than bringing up a menu. :\ Oh well, I'll just go through my Mac to install it. I was hoping to be able to get it directly from the first post though.

i use a program called download accelerator by winmoble then you just copy the link from pie and paste it in that program, or you can set it to intercept pie downloads automatically

no idea about that. I have never tried to download it from there.

GREAT programme - and thanks for letting us use your server.

Thanks again

Oliie
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
adebilloez,

It's difficult for me to tell you where is the problem unless I have access to your SQL tables and PHP code. I have the impression the problem is related with your tables. Something that you can try is to create a new database using the install script and compare that one with yours, and see if there is something different.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I REALLY appreciate your contribution and also to these other people who did that too. man... you don't know how many hours I'm spending on this (I never thought this program was going to go so far!) and that is a good motivation to keep the program updated!

Thanks again and I hope you have fun with the program!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
First of all I'd like to thank Staryon and Jcleek for their continued efforts - it's nice to see an app evolve so much in such a short period of time.

Staryon - I have noticed that if you have the GPS set to turn off between points you can't use the force update/e-mail position functions. You also can't go into the Geofence and add "current location" as a marker as all these options rely on the GPS being on. Is it possible to make these functions activate the GPS in order to update your position?

Thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w01f:
I noticed this was in quite an early post (page 11), and was wondering if you've had chance to implement it yet please?

Whilst configuring the Remote tab (in advanced mode) and entering in my server URL, I switch to landscape to enter the details, but can't scroll down to see all of the config fields.

Many thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] warmkiwi99:
Tried again using the km fences and it now works OK. sorry for the posts saying it wasn't working. Will they keep firing or do I need to reset them to get them to trigger again?

Did i mention the possibility of sending an SMS as an option instead of an email? There must be a SendSMS API somewhere?

Hi Luis,

It would be great to support ASP websites as well as PHP.

So an extra option (checkbox) so send the data in ASP format to a server.

This would make the product even for more people to use!

I have create a working sample what a ASP server should receive

So it’s the text after the /gps/requests.asp what shout be send

/gps/requests.asp?username=knuvers&password=test&lat=51.7250665&long=5.30120716666667&dateadded=2007-12-5%2018:25:37&dateoccurred=2007-12-5%2018:25:36&tripname=&speed=&altitude=56 80 - 77.63.3.72 - 404 0 2

All the rest is the same. If you digg this I’m willing to test of course. I think it’s a very small adjustment for you and creating much more people with your great Trackme prog

Hope you can help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
At this moment is complicated to do this. With my current implemention the only way of reading data from the GPS is when you press START. I could press START automatically when is required. However you will to have to be clicking over and over on 'add current location' because you don't really know when the GPS already got a right fix.

I don't think this looks very good, so I prefer not to change that by now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but I forgot about that. I'll take a look right now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
not sure if I understand. What's the difference in the requests for PHP and ASP? Don't they look the same?

I can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere, but which version of MySQL does your server code support? I imagine it must be v5 because when I tried to import SQL commands into v4 I received the following error:

It's all fine on v5 but thought I'd mention it just in case.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
When they are fired, I set the checkbox 'Notified' to true.

If you want it to fire again, you can uncheck it manually or just going to 'Reset notifications'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Please provide more information...

what pda are you using? type of GPS...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yes, my server is v5. I didn't know about that limitation.

Just make that field smaller and it should be ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Ok, I just uploaded a new version that corrects this.

It also corrects the problem showing 'meters' in the Geo fence alerts.
