Compatible w/Palm Treo 800w/WM 6.1?

I've been looking for a program like this for a while, and I'm really looking forward to trying it out. However, I can't seem to get it to work fully on my Treo 800w. The installation works fine, but I'm not able to connect to any satellites.

With the TrackMe's default source settings (port COM4/4800 Baud), I get the error "Unable to open port COM4". If I change the port to COM3 (or one or two other port options), the status states "Waiting for GPS response. . ." and doesn't progress beyond that.

My phone's GPS settings are:

GPS program port: GPD1

GPS hardware port: Internal GPS device

Access: WM manages GPS automatically

I've never needed to modify these settings before, and my other GPS software is working (GoogleMaps, MS Live Search) w/out problem. However, I did try the demo version of BeeLineGPS, and it wasn't able to autodetect my GPS settings. :confused:

Any suggestions on settings that I should modify? Or am I out of luck?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Check the first item in FAQ (TrackMe freezes when I click on Start) maybe one of those solutions may help you.

I'm not sure why you're running into any issues if you've entered the full code. Mine looks like this:

// if you have Google Analytics Account. Obtain from https://www.google.com/analytics/home/?et=reset&hl=en-US
// or just leave blank if you do not want to use
$googleanalyticsaccount = "UA-XXXXXXX-X";

Obviously mine has numbers instead of "X"s.

My index.php looks like this for the GA code:

//google analytics
if(isset($googleanalyticsaccount)) {
$html .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n";
$html .= " var gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https://ssl.\" : \"http://www.\");\n";
$html .= " document.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E\"));\n";
$html .= "</script>\n";
$html .= "<script type=\"text/javascript\">\n";
$html .= " var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"$googleanalyticsaccount\");\n";
$html .= " pageTracker._initData();\n";
$html .= " pageTracker._trackPageview();\n";
$html .= "</script>\n";
}
$html .= " </body>\n";
$html .= " </html>\n";

When the page is rendered it looks like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX-X");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
</body>

Hi

yesterday and today I traveled a longer distance, so I tried to record the journey. I set up to record a point every 100m and force update at direction change 30 degrees, I got some statistics:

total dist: 388km

total time: 5hrs 15mins

avg speed: 104km/hr

recorded points: 1124

when I opened the TrackMe page - it got just frozen - well at least when overall view of the track showed on the page. it takes REALLY LONG TIME when trying to move or zoom the map. It got better when I finally zoomed in and only few points were displayed.

I think this would need some good idea how to manage such bigger trips (or when all points filter and any trip is on) to make the webpage working quicker.

on one hand maybe not so many points are needed to be recorded when having a look on the whole trip. on the other hand, it is great to save as many points as possible when zoomed in to see the track more accurate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zzzp:
just wondering, how much bytes/kbytes are uploaded when one point is recorded. I need to make some compromise with the amout of the point that are recorded and my free data from the cell operator per month
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zzzp:
is it possible to save the NMEA/kml data directly to the phone storage card (eg with recording a point every second) and upload reduced number of points to server (according to user's settings)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
That really depends on Google Maps and how fast it can handle tracks with many positions.

Maybe you should change some settings in TrackMe to avoid this problem, like using 70-90 degrees for a forced update and increase the distance between positions. 100m is a really small interval when you are using automatic forced update.

As I said it has nothing to do with TrackMe, it's just how fast Google Maps and your internet connection is. Something that could be done though is to filter out some positions in the Google Map viewer. That would be a nice feature to add.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes, that has been asked several times and I remember there was a user who made some calculations. Unfortunately I don't have a link to that post.

If you can find it, I will add it to the FAQ.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No, TrackMe doesn't have that functionality.

Right now you can save the NMEA data to a file, but only the positions that are going to be stored.

I think when I measured this, it did not have CID, battery, signal, signal max, signal min, etc.. So this has likely gone up a little bit.

I'd say 800-900 bytes per transaction with the above info added. If anyone wants more exact numbers I could watch the traffic again and get it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
khaytsus, thanks for posting that.

I'm going to add it to the FAQ right now.

Hoping someone could help me out a bit with my server side of TrackMe.

So I've set up the install.php on my webserver (link dead) and I can view my route in Google Earth but the webview doesn't seem to function properly. The error reported is:

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.

On my WinMo device I have my locations being updated fine, like I said I can view my route in Google Earth without issue. All directories have the proper permissions. Any idea the problem?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moo113:
It looks like I found a solution to my own problem. Since it was reporting a table was empty, I went into my MySQL management and notice that out of the current 5 databases (cellids, icons, positions, trips, users) I had two tables with no entries: cellids, trips.

Seeing as I don't use CellID (CDMA phone) I manually created a trip instead of just uploading position information. Low and behold, I'm good to go.

Hopefully that will help the others who had a similar problem!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi moo113,

I didn't write the web viewer so I cannot give you too much information. However, I know that has been asked several times. You can try to make a search by 'One or more TrackMe tables in your database are empty' and that may give some ideas how to correct the problem.

Hi Staryon,

I'm using your last version off Trackme. Currently (on holiday) I use Trackme in offline mode and this used to work good. However, whenever I lose my GPS signal (I'm drinking a beer her in a Stube(An austrian Bar :)) it seems trackme isn't able to recover the gps signal later on and just after a restart (start stop tracking or start stop application) the tracking seems to continue. I'm using HyperDragon IIIand and trackme V 5.2.8.129 . TomTom o.t.oh has no problem with gps signal losing.

Since I can't recall happening this earlier with other versions (on the same Rom) perhaps you've got a clue. Anyway-don't hurry/worry. I can live with the current version so there's no rush and still ove your progsel. BTW.Anybody see any similar behaviour or did I drink too much :-)

if you need any further info please let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi Paulie,

I've never seen that problem. I do that all time because I usually leave TrackMe running when entering in a place.

If you leave TomTom and TrackMe running at the same time do you mean that TrackMe stops working while TomTom gives you the current position?

Do you have enabled the option to disconnect the GPS between uploads?

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Paulie89:
Staryon,

Don't bother. Perhaps just a local hick up. If it's persistent I will get back to you. Just fyi: I keep GPS connected all the time and Tom seems to be working (haven't checked yet).

Great 2009 to you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks for the information. If it happens again try to run both applications at the same time to see what happens.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Go3Team:
I have a couple of questions, but first let me say, awesome program, something I've been waiting for, and only just found.

When looking through the mysql table for the speed, it's a low number. It maxes out somewhere around 32 or 33. I know it's off as I've been traveling close to 70mph which I assume is around 125-130 kph, and it should be about 58-60 knts. Does the program change the speed, or is that done on the server side? If so may I ask why?

Any possibility of a laptop version (XP/Vista)?

Not sure if this is a server or client side setting, but when you click on one of the blue location points, the only thing that comes up is a straight line. I've enabled both gpx and kml, and neither has worked.

On the server side, I've noticed that if the trip is any longer than 24 hours, the total time doesn't take into account the next day. It'll reset the clock @ 24 hours.

Is there someway to configure the server for the imperial system? I jinxed the setup in the beginning so it's stuck on the metric system.

Here's a link if it helps.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pkzone:
Had this happen to me on Touch Pro + WM 6.1 today. Went inside a 7-11 and TrackMe failed to re-lock GPS upon leaving and did not track me home. Didn't realize this until I checked my maps when I got home.

Cheers!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi Go3Team,

The speed is stored in meters per second in the database.

What a coincidence! Today I got the same request from another user in my forum. Please check here:

http://www.luisespinosa.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1763

It must be something with your server. I just checked you server and I saw that problem. Did you try using my own server by any chance to see what happens?

Are you talking about the Web Viewer or the Trip summary from the TrackMe client?

Yes, from the web viewer you can go to Show Config and go to Units (per user)

Also you can modify the following entry in the Config.php file on your server:

// Units (imperial or metric)

$units = "imperial";

Hope it helps!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I will do some testing with my phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Go3Team:
Makes sense now.

I can think of 2 or 3 places to use it.

I'll give it a shot to see what happens.

The trip summary on the main page (http://go3team.com/tracker/trackme/index.php)

It did, thanks.

I just got a Touch Pro on Friday, as of yet, I haven't had that happen.

It's possible, You would have to have a GPS that updates < 1 second. I don't know if the phone or the software would be able to do that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pkzone:
Nice, it will be interesting to see if it happens to you. ALso, I wonder if you have the same problem I have, apparently the GPS data is not stamped into the EXIF info for pictures from the camera. there is a workaround but it is quite cumbersome. If you plan on uploading pictures you'll need to use GPSToday with the GeoTagger add-on which will then "tag" your GPS co-ords into the EXIF info, Trackme then can upload the pictures properly. This in combination with TrackMe seems to work ok until someone can come up with a fix for the GPS/EXIF problem.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Staryon,

I think I've found a bug related to TrackMe's new feature to log upon turns, at least I'm pretty sure that's the only time I see this happen.

What happens it in the web viewer I keep finding that the mileage is "nan" and if I go backwards through my track points I eventually find where the bubble popup shows the milage, and I go into PHPMyAdmin and look for that datapoint. The next two datapoints are always duplicated lat/lon, but not necessarily the timestamp.

If I delete one of these duplicate entries, it fixes it. Sometimes I have to do it multiple times to fix the whole track. In fact I went caching for 6 hours yesterday and I had to fix about 35+ duplicate entries. Eventually I just scrolled through the list in PHPMyAdmin looking for the duplicates rather than tracking them down one by one in the viewer.

I don't know if this would be considered a viewer bug (fails to calculate mileage with such data) or a TrackMe bug (logs two points of the exact same spot).

If you've never seen this, let me know and I can send you a dump of some data. I tend to check and fix it as I see it, but I'm sure I can reproduce it pretty easily.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
In that case I won't be able to help you too much.

The web viewer was written by several people and I don't know if they still visit this thread. For that reason it's not being updated or fixed existing bugs.

I would like to partially rewrite it but I don't know when I will have a chance to do that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
khaytsus,

It's possible to get 2 fixes with the same lat/long when the log upon turns feature is enabled.

For example... if you have it to do it when a change of 30 degrees happens, and you turn >=60 degrees. In that case it should be normal to get 2 positions identical if you turned very quickly.

However, I don't know about the problem with the speed. When you go to the MySQL database and look for those identical positions, do they both have the same speed?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
It's not the speed which gives "nan" in the viewer, it's the mileage.

I'll reproduce the problem and send you the sqldump and a screenshot of what I see in the browser. For now, here are some apache logs of a triplicate of lat/long which caused me problems. I'm X'ing the lat/long and cell IDs but you can believe me when I say they're exactly the same:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
oh I see.

I think I know what's going on. First the 3 positions look ok for me. The lat/long are the same, but the angle changes as I expected.

I have the impression the problem is related how the web viewer calculates the increment of distance between 2 consecutive positions. It seems that if 2 consecutive positions have the same lat/long, the calculation is not done properly. Probably an easy fix.

As you know I haven't written the web viewer but I will take a look to see if I can find the problem. Please if you have some experience with PHP take a look as well if I don't come up with something soon. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Go3Team:
I just tried the photo upload tool for the first time, it was successful. It uploaded based on the EXIF timestamp rather than the location. Downloading the GPSToday program now to give it a try.

Edit: The GPSToday program tagged my photo, and was able to upload based on location. Thanks for the heads up on that program, looks pretty neat.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] freeflyer:
to be honest , the video is actually sped up quite a lot, its actually a lot slower in real time.

So given that the updates wouldnt have to be that fast, would it be possible with trackme? I know it can produce a good track of the movement (and presumably the height via the gps?), i guess the big question is if it can animate the progression of the track.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
1sec updates are enough. However I've never tried setting Trackme to record each second and don't know how well this would work.

Animation can be done by google earth itself to some extent.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khaytsus:
Will do, I can hack on PHP a little. I'll reproduce the problem today if I have time and try to figure out where the calculations are going wrong, or perhaps wrap something around it if the coordinates are the same.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I think the minimum that you can specify is 3s.

I thought that nobody would need less than that. Actually unless that you are storing everything offline, it doesn't make too much sense, because uploading your position at least should take you 1s. On the other hand, I don't think Google Earth or Google Maps would work be very fast with so many points.

However, if you guys think I should remove that restriction I think I can do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Ok, thanks for that. I will try to take a look at that today as well.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:

Screen AutoOff?

Trackme is a fab app!! Well done. :)

My only comment would be that the screen should be aloud to auto switch off as it just drains the battery when the app is open. Could this be included as an option?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Go3Team:
Another question I have...

Once if positions are stored on the device (maybe during a period of no service) once it's uploaded, are the positions deleted from the phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The only registry entry that it makes is when you enable the option to start TrackMe when windows starts.

And yes, you can run the program from the SD card.
