this program looks great following the disucssion here, but it run and find sats on my origional HTC Tytn. Looking to the database seems to work as well.

But I struggle (as google earth starter) with how to

- upload and display the realtime tracking file

- upload and display the stored file if not online

I looked on the server .. but I do not find a simple instruction. Please help and thanks for any advice !

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] irresisti:
If you press stop it will give you the URL where the file has been uploaded will show. You can go in Google Earth and create a new networked link under places. There you can enter the URL

Sorry for my bad english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mbritten:
Love the program. just one issue with the newest version.... when i try to store positions locally, it creates the kml file and stores the fist position correctly, but any additional positions are not stored and in the log window it says something like database not open.

Also, is there anyway to make it disable all hardware keys except the power button when the screen is turned off? I'd like to keep my phone in my pocket while tracking.

Thanks again for all the hard work. I've tried almost every tracking program and this one is definatly the most promising.

one more thing i guess. is there anyway to make a simple web page that one could log in to that would display the tracks in google maps, and that would update automatically when new positions are uploaded, similar to the one Reperion uses.

If you are using a remote server the trips are not stored on your pda, they are stored on your server.

I'm not sure if you can recover data that has been deleted from a MySQL database.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
the only way to recover is if you have a backup of the database before you deleted the trip.

my hosting company keeps 5 days of backups of my MySQL database. Hopefully your provider will have a backup.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mk1 black limited:
I host my own server, so there...:-) Oh well, a lesson learned.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
bummer:(

sounds like its time to implement a backup process;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mk1 black limited:
Nah, real men don't do backups...bu do cry a lot...:D

But are there any changes in the icons-table as well, for the direction-icons?

I'm running on my own server (web host actually) and did this install a few days ago. I'm still missing my icons. Is there something I did wrong? I thought I would see the points marked with icons. Am I wrong?

GeoFence Target position fields too small

Hi thanks for working on the program. I haven't had a chance to use it beyond installing it and trying to set up a GeoFence alert. But when I try to enter my coordinates manually I can't enter the full location. It should accept at least 11 characters each and currently it supports only 10. e.g. -118.123456

This thread has grown really long, so I didn't read back to see if this has been reported before, I apologize. I wish more of the developers would create sourceforge projects with ticketing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just checked it and yes, if you enter manually you got that problem, however it works ok if you click on 'Assign Current Position' instead. I'll fix it for the next version.

I have been very busy in the last 2 weeks because of work and I haven't had a chance to update TrackMe. Sorry about that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greeek:
Would that be why I can't get mine to fire an email? I set it to go when I got within 1km of my building for work, but the damn thing won't work.

I did set the coordinates manually, and I haven't tried from assigning a current position.

Also, do I need to be working "remotely" for the triggers to go off, or if I am just saving positions locally, will the email still fire? (I have an active data connection for the blackberry service obviously)

It's really important that I get this working, as I have the receptionist in the office willing to make me a coffee once she gets my email to say I'm not far away :):):)

Damn this software is great!

Hi Guys,

Im trying to figure out how this will store the location locally on my microSD card then upload when im back at home on the wifi network.

I have read the instructions over and over but cant figure out how.

Ideally i would love for it to record the trip using the nominated date format and save it locally then upload.

For the past month i thought that it was recording trips locally but apparently it wasnt???

Any help is appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Hello barky81,

in doing some more research I have found out that NaN stands for 'Not a Number' it even has a wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NaN.

I still do not know why its happening, I will load you data and if i get the NaN, i will be able to troubleshoot.

atleast we know what it means.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kb9nvh:
Floating point numbers use thier "bits" to store different parts of the number (exponent and Mantissa). Unlike integers which, no matter what is contained in the bits, represents a valid number, floating points can be invalid if, somehow, the bits get mangled. So, NaN is what the operating system gives back when a floating point does not represent a valid number. This can happen when doing very low level number manipulations (like converting from single to double precision or when converting to different operating systems.

Hi all,

I just used TrackMe on a week long trip from Houston to Orlando. It worked great! It was the first time I used it, so it was a learning experience. The people I shared it with thought it was very cool! Ony problem was that the web page takes a LONG time to load and displays an error that a script is taking a long time to load. My guess is because there are over 2000 positions to load. If this is correct, I was thinking I would try deleting a lot of records from the database. I don't want to have delete 1000 records manually, could someone tell me the MySQL code to delete every OTHER record where ImageURL is NULL?

Here is the location of the page if you want to take a look and see if something else might be the problem.

http://www.theaguilars.com/trackme/index.php
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I still haven't heard even a hint of where to look for the reason I have no icons, unless I skimmed past it at one point. Anyway, I saw this post by another poster and they have what I'm looking for:

How can I get those icons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcktfn:
In the config menu under Live Tracking, there is an option for "Show Bearings in map". Also, when viewing the web page, if you click on "Show Config", There is an option for "Display Bearing Arrows"

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Ok, so I checked and I have it selected. Here's from my most recent trip:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
what is your url? there has been several posts of people who use a url like, http://trackme.domain.com in which the bearing arrows do not show. I have not had a chance to find out why.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Yeah, that must be it then. My URL is trackme.mydomain.com. (I'll PM you my actual address if you'd like to us it to help you troubleshoot the issue. Just let me know.) I tired to use mydomian.com/trackme/ but the Google API Key is for the other format.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Eureka!!!

All of us trackme.domain.com have a solution to the lack of directional icons.

All I did was create a folder called trackme (of whatever your subdomain is) and place it in my subdomain's folder. So in my case I have on the server "/user/domain/trackme/trackme" with the second folder holding the icon images. Hope this makes sense.

mcross, seems the issue is a hard coding that is PNG files are going to be in the root located domain.com/trackme not leaving room for a subdomain use instead.

Hi rcktfn,

This code will delete all the positions in your database where imageurl is empty (you don't have an image)

Please do a backup first before running that just in case!

delete from positions where ImageURL is null
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Michiel85:
I have a HTC P3300 with Windows Mobile 6 Professional. I am able to run the program and navigate trough the menu options. But as soon as I want to start the GPS, it does nothing anymore. I know my GPS is working right, because my navigation program (TomTom navigator) is working fine using the same com-port etc...

Does anyone know what I can try? I really would like to try this program:cool:

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Have you checked your port settings match properly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Michiel85:
Yes I did.

I use the following settings in TomTom (and they do work):

type: NMEA GPS receiver

GPS speed: 4800

port:com4

When i use these settings in TrackMe it simply hangs including my whole phone. I have to use a soft reset in order to use my phone. I tried on other gps program to test my gps named SirfTech.

When using the same settings it does show some data received from the com4, but also this program hangs. Only the phone it self is still working.

I really do not know what this can be. Anyone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcktfn:
Thanks, but I actually wanted every OTHER record, like delete all the ODD number IDs or EVEN number IDs, where ImageURL is NULL. Basically cutting the number of positions/records in half.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Hello Riccardo,

The answer is definitely YES, I will take any and all help.

Yes do send the entire files. you can upload in this thread or Private message me with the files. I will add to the source and then get them to staryon.

I am wanting to move user settings to be held in a database table so each user can save their desired settings, just have not got to it yet.

Solution (I hope) to subdomain.domain.com icons problem

After some night thinking :confused: about this topic, I think that I've found the working-solution :D!!

For me this code is working fine in every situation (subdomain.domain.com/ and subdomain.domain.com/folder/) :

in index.php instead of :

$siteroot ="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."/".basename(getcwd())."/";

use this:

if (dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])=="/")

{

$siteroot ="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']);

}

else

{

$siteroot ="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])."/";

}

Please try and let me know if it works for all.

Best regard,

Riccardo:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] annulation:
Cool! Thanks!

Just saying thanks for a really cool program. I've got the server running and uploading data is working great. You may already be working on this, but I think a cool addition would be to be able to add captions to the pictures that are uploaded at different locations and have them show up in the google picture popup bubble. Also, it would be nice to be able to upload pics and choose specific gps locations for them even if the pics don't have gps info in them.

Oh, and support for basic authentication (or any other type of authen) on the web server would be a great addition too.

For anyone installing the server, you'll need mysql version 5 or better.

Anyway, thanks again.

hello everybody

I have a fujitsu siemens loox n560 and trackme worked without any problems until I installed the "GPS Instant Fix" from the fujitsu-siemens supportpage.

http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/...us=True&Component=Application - Service Patch

the patch is supposed to make the first gpsfix alot faster, because a programm lets you download the trajectory information of the satellites for the next 3 days. the firmware update for the sirf-III chip changed some settings from the gps interface. before the fix the software-port was com8, hardware-port com4 and the baudrate was at 9600 and when i used com8 and 9600 in trackme it worked just fine. but now after the firmware update the default baudrate is set to 57600 (same hardware & software com's). I can't choose 57600 in trackme so I manually changed the loox gps interface settings to 9600 to see if that works in trackme, but it doesn't. (other programs like the gps-locator or navigon are still working fine and the fix is actually faster then before the firmware update).

when I choose the software-com(com8) & 9600 in the trackme settings (gps interface settings at 9600 or 57600) and I go back on the first screen and click on the gps "startbutton", my pda freezes. when I choose the hardware-com (com4) in the settings of trackme and then hit "start", the pda won't freeze and i see the gps indicator led flashing, but I can wait half an hour without getting a connection to a satellite.

do you guys think trackme could work if there would be a baud setting for 57600 ? trying other com's wont work either...

I hope someone can help me with this, i would so love to use trackme again. there is no downgrad available from fujitsu, so I cant get back to the original factory settings... :(

thank you :)

mcross: have you read my solution for sub.domain.com issue?

What do you think about it, it can works?

Someone has tried?

Riccardo
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
mcross, let me know when you agree with TrackMeIT's changes and I will upload the new files to my server.

by the way, I'm sorry but my life is a mess right now and I haven't even had a chance to visit the forums periodically. I hope I can go back to TrackMe soon. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I'm looking forward to the new web interface from mcross too!

BTW, is there a way to delete specific trips from the database using either TrackMe or the web interface? I've got a few bogus trips that I'd like to kill off. Otherwise, how can I remove only specific ones?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You can do that from Delete Positions and Manage Trips.

Thank you so much. I'm sure it's written somewhere but I never found it. This really is an awesome program. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greeek:
Hi guys, can anyone help on this yet?

I've since tried setting a point from current position, but still it won't fire an email.

Also tried while working remotely, and locally.

Everything else seems to work great as far as I can tell...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] decimusmaximus7:
When using Google Earth, how can I determine the distance in miles between my start point and my end point?

Also when I clicked "show position on map" nothing happens.

Is there another help file beside the tutorial that I should be reading?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but I'm not showing that information from Google Earth

Regarding your other problem, are you using your own server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
greeek, just in case... where are you located?

Sometime ago I fixed some problems on PDAs where regional settings used a comma as a decimal point instead of a dot. Maybe I'm still missing something...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
some updates...

Last weekend I was working on the stealth mode. The library that I was using for that is out, but after a LOT of testing it seems that this feature doesn't work properly with Compact Framework 3.5 and it's only compatible with 2.0

That's really bad because it would be a mess to convert TrackMe to 2.0 at this point.

anyway... I don't give up. I will keep researching about a different way of doing that.

Sorry for this LONG delay in having that feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] decimusmaximus7:
I am using your server, but I'm not having a problem with Google Earth, I just don't know how to find the distance between two points. Also the "show position on map" that I am clicking and nothing happens is in the TrackMe program menu, not Google Earth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
When you click on 'Show position on map' it should call the default browser that you have on your PDA. I have only tried it with Pocket IE, but I haven't heard problems from users using a different one. Not sure why you are having that problem. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greeek:
I'm in Australia

According to my regional settings, a decimal symbol is a "." so that looks ok...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drakane:
When position is skipped, no GPS disconnect?

hi!

I have the problem that TrackMe seems to only disconnect the GPS to powersave if it detected a new position. If it says "skipped", the GPS stays on, thus draining my battery all the time my phone is standing still.

Once I move enough that a new position is uploaded it correctly disconnects GPS again.

Bug or Feature? ;)

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I checked my code and you're right, I'm not disconnecting the GPS when that happens. I just changed it and I have uploaded a new version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] micgrob:
activating?

it would be great if an activation of *TrackMe* was possible by calling the phone and entering a code (specialized voice mail with sub menus is available for symbian o.s. devices) , texting the phone a specif code, and/or clicking a link on a website to activate it. This would solve the battery life issue and would also bring better use to this program
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drakane:
Just to confirm, it works perfectly now.

Thanks for the quick reaction!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] redflag:

Couldn't get external TomTom GPS and Trackme running with Hermes at the same time (tried GPS Gate and Portsplitter), but this is only a minor irritation..

BECAUSE this is so great, my two children are coming with us for a euro road trip for three weeks and, thanks to trackme, their adventures and photos will be tracked by their schoolfriends and family via Google Earth.

Sincerely, thanks.

Change local folder?

I just downloaded the program and have it configured for local file creation and was looking for a way to configure the path for the local file. I see that when in remote mode you can specify the remote server URL (for running your own server) but I can't find an option to change the local path...

This would be nice for using the vastly increased storage of my 2GB card rather than the meager 128MB onboard...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
No, it's not possible. I may add that in a future version though.

How can I add a Google Analytics code to the index.php on my server? I'm ok with adding it to an index.html but don't know anything about PHP. Is it possible to add GA to my TrackMe page? I'm just wondering who's looking and when. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kilrah:
Firstly, thanks for the cool program!

I've set it up on my own server and I'm running into the same problem I saw mentioned somewhere in the thread, where I couldn't upload pictures ("No positions for user found"). Also, the distances in the web view always shows as "nan kilometers".

Any idea? Some database encoding that could cause problem and would have to be converted? Time zone problem (the EXIF and GPS positions match correctly from what I've checked)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
server files are updated(Additions from trackmeIT (added Italian translation, fixed some translations problems, solution for trackme.yourdomain.com users.) Thanks trackmeIT.

I added the Google Analytics code to the index.php file. and added another variable in the config file. '$usegoogleanalytics', by default it is set to no. if you have an account with GA set to yes and it should work. btw, I used the new code ga.js.

Version set to 1.20
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
Looks like the version number is still 1.15 in the index.php file. The readme.txt file is labeled version 1.14 also. Not to nit-pick, just thought you might want to know.

I haven't installed it just yet but was wondering how your setup allows me to set my GA account number for the tracker script? I can manually edit it, but others might not be able to.

Edit:Now after installing it I'm not seeing the option to set GA to on. I didn't see it in the config.php file. What am I missing? I'm sure it's only my ignorance with PHP. :\
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
So I compared the config.php in the attachment you posted a few posts up with the one my system generated after running install.php again and found the issue. It seems to leave out the GA addition to the config.php when doing it this way. I manually added the two lines into the config.php and all is fine. I also edited the GA account number manually and it's appears to be tracking. Thanks. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Check that your pictures have EXIF data with a creation date. If not, double check the file date of the files. The date should be close to the date of your GPS data when was uploaded.

Thanks mcross, I just updated the files.
