Trouble uploading pictures.

Hi,

I found this application yesterday and it's awesome! Something I've been looking for, for a very long time :D I have it all successfully running on my iPaq RX3715 with an ext bt gps receiver. One thing I can't seem to get working tho is the ability to upload images. I have the program running, switch to my camera and take a shot. Then I hit the Stop button to stop the track, click on Menu>Upload local pictures and am presented with the "Pictures Uploading" screen. However, there are no pictures present in that screen - not a filename or a thumb. When I try clicking on "Add" the program halts with the following errors:

"An unexpected error has occurred in TrackMe.exe. Select quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information."

If I click on Details, I get this:

"TypeLoadException

File or assembly name

great program!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theboyrob:
great program!

just a quick question....

I have set the program to 'local' mode, so it just generates any coordinates to a local 'route.kml' file which I can look at in google earth on my pc. My question is if I have made multiple routes only the last route shows up in google earth. Does the program overwrite the route.kml for each new route?

or does it overwrite with each new coordinate?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crl0901:
Do you know of a program that could do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
theboyrob,

Check the FAQ in the first post. You question is answered there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hmmm... probably because I call a Windows Mobile 5 function there. Maybe it's because you are using an older version of WM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I have never tried it, but I think this program is very popular:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
freecall,

As soon as I have some time, I will work on the documentation. Meanwhile you can ask any questions here and I'll try to help you.

I hope that the information that irresisti gave you was enough. If not, let me know and I will give you more information.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Yes... I noticed about that problem this morning, when I was using it when coming to work. Easy fix. I will fix as soon as I get home, because I'm at work right now.

I will add to the to-do list your request about the hardware keys.

jcleek, already created what you need about the web page. Check one of the previous posts.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Eitel:
What is the latest version? I keep downloading 2.0.20 and I don't see how to enter server info in there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
I will take the task to set up an install package that will:

1) Start with a form to fill out the database name, table, folder, etc needed to configure the server side php stuff

2) Create the database and tables

3) Modify the php code to include server names, database information, etc

4) Build an html bare document with the google maps mashup in the same folder

That will make it easier on staryon to keep developing. Sound cool? I can most likely have something up later today or tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You are the man!! thanks a lot. Please let me know if you need any clarification about the data that I send to the server.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Go to Config->General and uncheck 'Hide advanced settings'

After that, go to Config->Remote
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
I have setup my own server, but when I try to do anything from the client it always returns "you need to specify a username and password for the user". The thing is - I have specified a username and password in the config. I have also put in the name, port and directory settings for my server in the relevant tab.

Is there any logs or anything that I can check? (server is a debian/Apache server)

Many thanks

Dae
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Does it work fine using my server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daesimps:
Yes - it works fine on your server.

I used your database.sql file to create the db. I then put the 3 PHP files from the zip file just above into the web server folder. I then edited them with the DB name, IP, username and password.

I then just get the error message I mentioned earlier when I try anything (e.g. get trip list, upload offline file, start tracking etc).

Is there a way to test it from a browser instead of the phone (just so I can get it working without hammering my phone by constantly using the GPS)?

Thanks

Dae
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
You can test it from the browser doing something like this:

http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/requests.php?action=upload&username=USER&password=PASS&lat=20.2482086166667&long=28.2732949&dateadded=2007-10-30 9:57:10&dateoccurred=2007-10-30 9:57:10&tripname=

Maybe you are having the same problem that another user had. Check this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1656685&postcount=179

That's something that I will have to add soon. Meanwhile you can try to add it manually, just in case that's the problem.

Seems to be an issue with the dates.

They are being entered in my database as "0000-00-00 00:00:00"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys...

New version available.

I have fixed the problem where storing points in the local database and also a problem when generating local KML files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you test it with this URL?

http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/requests.php?action=upload&username=USER&password=PASS&lat=20.2482086166667&long=28.2732949&dateadded=2007-10-30 9:57:10&dateoccurred=2007-10-30 9:57:10&tripname=
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MPIIIMan:
yes I tested it with that URL, but of course put in my own domain.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
And did you check that you are retrieving the parameters 'dateadded' and 'dateoccurred' correctly inside the requests.php file?

Maybe your mysql server has a setting that doesn't like datetimes with the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

(I don't know too much about mysql either so I am not sure if there is a setting for that)

Did you check your mysql database and tried to enter dates manually with that format?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcleek:
Ok guys, here is my hack install script and instructions. Please note I am not a great php guy and I don't play one on television so....

The code is crude but it works, at least with my host. Give it a shot and let me know what you think, but ONLY after you READ and FOLLOW the instructions I put in there.

Staryon, the only files I added to your zip are the install.php and index.php files. The rest you can replace with updated files you put together. Just don't change these text items:

DBIP

DBUSER

DBPASS

DBNAME

The install script does a search and replace on those fields in your three php files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Probably yes. Offline data, GeoFence and GPS positions (when working in local mode) are stored in the file local.sdf and that file will be replaced with every new version because I may modify it sometimes. Sorry about that.

Is there any way to get an app that lets me track my friends on the phone. If you have ever played World Of Warcraft it would be like the mini map. I would like to see a friends location if they are near to me. With their consent of course.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but TrackMe doesn't do that. You have the 'Find nearest buddy' feature but that's not really what you want. That will only tell you how far is the closest user using the server.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bcros:
Hi,

Thank you for this great program. What a good work !

Just a little thing, may you please dissociate the position frequency and the post frequency. I would like to have a good track ( many points) but with a tranmission about 5 minutes only. and send later if no network cell.

Thank you.

++
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry I haven't fixed this yet. I'll try to have it as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Sorry but I don't plan to dissociate that.

Why don't you use 'Remote mode', 'Always upload offline' and you decide when to upload to the server?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bcros:
cause i want to check the track, so i need many points... les than 5 seconds exactly.

but i don't want phone always transmitting, so a 1 or 2 minutes transmission will safe battery life. Many softs run like that.

I plan to have offline data store when offline, and transmitting as soon as cell network is ok. cause "no gap" required too...

But if you don't want... i will understand.

Hi,

I added a track to your server and all seems to work ok...However, at the top of the page, I see mysql errors:

Viewing KML on WM device

(copied from http://www.luisespinosa.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1656)

I wanted an easy way to view the KML uploaded by TrackMe to luisespinosa.com on a different WM device. The only option I found was Google Maps for Mobile, which can display KML. It works but doesn't include all the description. I thought it would be nice to have a quick way to see the map without loading GMM. I wrote a tiny little app that loads a KML file and displays the last 3 points using the Google static maps image API. I think this makes it much easier for someone to see your location in Pocket IE.

The UI is very bare. Try it out at

http://statickml.appspot.com/

If you find bugs or want to improve this please see http://code.google.com/p/statickml/ I don't promise to read everything posted to this thread.

Ideally this feature could be ported to jcleek's Custom Viewer or maps.google.com/?q=path_to_kml will be extended to display maps without javascript.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey rorymi6, could explain how did you resolve the problem? Some other people had that problem too and your explanation may be helpful for them.

Thanks

My actual built in GPS port is COM5, using the built in port splitter my virtual GPS port is COM8

If I start up TrackMe!, and set the GPS port to be COM8, when I click the Green Arrow, my device hangs - have to do a soft reset.

TrackMe! set to COM5 works fine, but then I cannot run TomTom at the same time.

TomTom works fine with either COM5 or COM8 as its GPS port.

I have a HTC X7500 ( Athena ) running WM 6.1 (AP4.0).

Anyone else seen the same problem?

Please help: (500) Internal Server Error

Hi folks,

First of all: this is a great program, compliments to the author!

I have installed a clean copy of TrackMe on my Tytn II and that worked well. I also installed the php-server files in post 1 (installation package) to upload the data to my own server. That worked out well: database tables created successfully. I also inserted the API key when I opened the install.php file (API-key registered on my root domain, not a subfolder such as trackme).

I edited the settings on the config - remote tab in TrackMe to match my server settings and also inserted a username and password. After that I started trackme.

The error message I receive when trackme is starting the first upload after 30 seconds: Error uploading position: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error

BTW I think that the username and password are not inserted in the MySQL database I use. I am not really into php and mysql but when I look into the database using phpmyadmin, I can't find the username and password that I inserted in Trackme.

Do you have any idea what I might have done wrong?

BTW, when using the default settings from luisespinosa everuything works well. Trackme does upload the data and I can watch the data on luisespinosa.com as well.

Hi it would be great if i log my CELL ID also so we become a great Database with GPS & Cell ID.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TurboX2:
crazyy.. this keeps getting better..

i just thought of somthing..

Remote Controlled Stealth Mode.. as in starting up stealth mode remotely, say if u where to loose your phone.. or if someone were to steal it.. or if ur planning on letting someone borrow your phone...

its like having a remote low processing application in the background that can initiate the other application when its called upon.. kinda like orb.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] police22:
I have thought of that too... I like that option.. But you could put the file or short cut in startup and enable Start Minimized (Stealth Mode) and Start process when application starts under advanced settings.. Would do the same thing more or less just would eat battery.. But that is an option I have thought of....

Love the app.. Use it to track my runs accross the United States with my own server and also wife can see where im at... ... Kudos..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
What does TrackMe use to upload images to the server? I'm still trying to figure out why my server is forbidding my phone to upload when I have the pics folder set to 777.

Anyone else encounter this and solve it? Or encounter this and are still working to solve it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
yeah... I think it's not really necessary to have another application to do the same thing. You can get that just by using TrackMe and doing what you suggested.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
So I contacted my host to see if they knew what the issue was and here is my reply:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
turtle2472,

Sorry about that but as I mentioned several times I don't have too much experience configuring web servers. I think there are many users that use TrackMe who have a lot experience configuring web servers. I don't know why they don't offer some help... :(

----

By the way, a small note for all users...

I always check this thread from any problems that users are having, and I always try to help if I have any clue of what may causing the issue. If you don't see me replying is because I don't really know how to resolve that problem. As you guys may understand I cannot reply any single post that I don't know the solution and just say: 'Sorry but I don't know'

Believe me that if I have any single clue I will reply with an answer.

And please, don't post the question here and also send me a private message with the same question, I already visit this thread several times a day and if I know how to help I will answer your question right away.

Hope you guys can understand my point ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jbevan:
just downloaded this prog, works great on my tytnII in the UK. Thank you. Question. do I have to have a data session active all the time trackme is actively tracking - this potentially costs me money and uses up my monthly data allowance). I can't find an option to save the tracking data and then upload it al at once?? Or am I missing something?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Hi jbevan,

There is an option here:

Configuration->Remote->Offline Data->Always

And when you are ready to upload just go to Tools->Upload Offline Data

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
This isn't as much for you staryon as it is for others who are facing this same issue as me. Here is the explanation from my hosting Admin:

My reasoning for asking you, staryon, was because my first response indicated that a part of the photo "package" was missing during the upload and I wasn't sure if that was something you needed to be involved with.

I try not to bug you. :) Thanks for your work though as I do rather love this program. My wife gets to watch where I'm going when I go on service runs and such. It's kinda nice being able to let her be a part of my day while I'm out and about.

So if the iPhone ends up with 3G and GPS are you going to make a version of TrackMe for it? :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
The only reason I can think of is if the transfer times out. However I don't think it's the problem because it happens to you all the time.

hmmm... sounds interesting ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jbevan:
Thanks for this - that option wasn't showing because Hide Advanced Settings option was checked by default. Sorted. Have you developed a Symbian version yet, btw, for use in Nokia phones?

Sorry but at this moment I don't plan to develop a version from Symbian. Maybe someday :rolleyes:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] turtle2472:
I've tested it a few times over now and I can upload pictures again. Seems that my host set the mod_security thing and it blocked my uploads. All is well now for me. Those others with this issue might want to check your .htaccess and mod_security settings.

Quick Q for the Main Man..

i just did a little jaunt into my place of work and back.. and had this tracking on time intervals of 5mins.. (more realistic for when i do a long cycle as my position won't change massively in that time) i took some pictures.. and i had some trouble getting the distance/time stuff to cut me some slack and let me upload.. is there a way i can tell TrackMe that i don't care about qualifying distance or time and just to associate the photo with the nearest point.

Also how does the buddy stuff work? Cos i was surprised to see someone within a MILE of me.. in Crawley!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
If you don't care about the distance, just enter a very big value in the 'Only upload if distance is less that' field.

Regarding the buddy stuff... it will return based on your latest uploaded position, the closest position uploaded by any other user, and when that user was there.
