hey what you think?

That be awesome makes it great for tracking someone or for a friend, parent etc to follow you on route.

but check this feature out, the program turns on the gps once an hour, or once every 20 mins depending on the variables you enter, uploads the position and then sends an email to you with the a dirct link to google maps or earth with the position. a direct link. i can tell you right now for something so expensive (our phone) to tell us where it is everyday would be awesome, i'd have it set to send me an email every hour (important that it shut off after, the battery would die if I lieft it on 24/7 ....the gps function) and until its reset or if the option calls for it the link shows the trail as well.

Now i know what many may think getting 24 email everyday would be agrivating, not really, I use outlook so I would create a folder and a rule for this... just knowing my phone tells me where it is, just damn amazing. And anyone who has it will be tracked. Awesome, id even add another option to the program while the gps is in automode, if the phone is moving the gps continues to stay on until the postion is stops moving more then a few meters, then it follows the auto timer mode.

anyone think this is a good idea? does this soudn hard to do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
New version available.

I have added an option that lets you create the trip names automatically if the selected trip name is <None>.

jackieboy, yes I think I can add something similar to that. We can have a parameter in the configuration that specifies how often you want to send the emails.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Another version available....

I have added an option that lets you find information about your closest buddy.

I mean, based on your last upload position it will tell you how far is the closest user found in the remote database.

Here is a screenshot:

I don't know if somebody will use this feature, but I thought it was fun to add it.

By the way, I don't show the username of the user for privacy reasons...

Hi,

it seems the set_Parent function were removed in .net v3, so you need to install v2, too.

Here comes the link:

Does he see the world map or not even that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ziggy95:
No world map, nothing at all

As my friend will be on a car 2 or 3 hours behind me, he'd like to see my position on his Nokia N95. But his problem is identical on a windows mobile pda

Hey Ziggy,

I installed Opera Mini, and the web displays correctly.

I believe the web page code will have to be updated to support mobile browers.

I also tried the full version of Opere and it works as well, but you will have to pay for it, the mini is free.

hopefully this will solve your problem until the code is updated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ziggy95:
You're right. It works with opera on my touch cruise.

I will see on my friend's Nokia N95 tomorrow but i'm pretty sure he's using opera.

Thanks for yours responses

Merging databases

Hi,

This is off topic but I will like to ask.

I have a server running okej.

Have a old database with old data that I will like to add to the new server.

Is it possible to do? If yes how?

Regards

JoseF
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
hey guys...

I'm sorry I haven't updated TrackMe for a while. I'm very busy because we are making some improvements at home and I haven't found the time to relax and work on TrackMe. Sorry about that...

For next version I plan to fix a few problems that you guys mentioned and also I want to add the ability to show the orientation.

Regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Hey JoseF,

The short answer to your question is Yes, it is possible to merge your data.

The long answer is how to do it. You will have to make sure all the key fields match once you move your database. and your trip IDs don't duplicate. and your user ids are the same.

In your Users table do you have just one user? in both your old and new tables.

how many trips do you have in your new table?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Hey Ziggy,

I thought this might be useful for you. I have google maps installed on my phone, if you have not already installed it, try it out. has lots of cool features and as always from google its free.

but the reason I thought it would be useful for you is, if you pull up the search and type the web location to a kml file it will show on the maps, so you could save in your favorites the location to you friends kml file to see his last location, and the map looks much better that what is displayed from the website.

hope this helps

Ive installed TrackMe on my Touch Dual, using a Holux GPSSLIM 240 Bluetooth device, which works great with Google Maps (GPS).

However, TrackMe just says "No Connection"... and "No Valid Positions Available from GPS", even though Google Maps pinpoints my position in a matter of seconds.

Ive set the correct COM-Ports in Settings, the same thats used in Google Maps, to no avail. Any ideas?

Cheers!

EDIT: LOL, had to hit that big green play button.. works now :D

Thanks!

Hi Mcross,

I have just one users table. One user i both old and new tables.

In my trips new table I have 7 trips.

I was running the software in a old laptop , but the harddrive crashes all time,Have change server place thats the reason , I wont to merge the databases.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
1. Are the user id's the same? probably ID=1

2. in old trips table, look at the ID's, do any of those ID's exist in the new trips table?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JoseF:
Hi Mcross,

The user id are the same ID=1

The old trips table are from 1 to 16 and in the new one 1 to 12

How do you get Google Earth to save the days data, so you can choose which one to view?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m1ddy:
OK, i must be being really thick....

I can't run the program because i don't have the right version of the .net framework. I have tried download what seems to be the latest compact versions from MS but it says they are designed for mobile devices.

Can someone point me in the right direction of the version I need?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mk1 black limited:
What am I not getting...;-)

I've installed the server-files on my own server, and remote logging to that works (I've checked the database and it has valid entries, and the logfiles for my webserver shows positions being posted). However, all I get on the webpage is a large world map if I choose a trip, show all points and press the Show-button? Why no trip?

If I press the Live Tracking -button I get my current position.

I'm probably doing something fundamentally wrong, but I can't quite see what...:-)

//to show all map points when you arrive at the page and when you change trips

//0=don't show, 1=show

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Hello Josef,

I am not real sure how to tell you how to proceed. You will have to change the keys in you old trips table so they do not match anything you your current trips table, but when you change the key in the trips, you will have to change the trip_id field in your positions table to match.

The trips in your current database are ones you want to keep also, or do you care to get ride of them?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:
Live Tracking

I have made a file that will display the last positions for each user in the database. its output in in kml format, so you can view using google earth, google maps(both on internet and from mobile Google Maps) or any kml viewer. you just point to http://www.yoursite.com/trackme/usertrack.php, in google earth you can set the refresh and it automatically stays updated.

right now the icon is the man.png from google.

I am still making changes but still thought it might be useful to some users. I have tried to make it compatible with both php4 and php5.

there is no authentication so if you put this on your site as is, anyone will be able to see the last positions for all users.

I am thinking that with a little more work, we will be able to pass some variables like username, password, and then trip_id or trip_name, then it would be possible to view any of the saved trips from google earth/maps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcross:

I have a request (may have already been requested)

Is there any way to make maybe a much simpler version of this program that, upon launch, displays no UI or anything, just gets the current position, uploads, and quits? It would be really neat to set up a script to do this maybe 2x a day. That way if you lose the phone or something you can find it - but you're also not running live 24x7.

Just an idea...

Dan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It's a good idea. The only thing is this program is not really designed for that. I'm sure there are tons of programs that do that kind of things in case your phone is stolen or something like that.

However, let me me think about it. I'm working on the stealth mode at this moment so if I get it to work I may add that too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6thElement:
Thanks.

I'm all installed and setup on my own server, just need to go outside and lay down a track :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mangelot:
Hello,

First off all my compliments for this outstanding tool. :)

But i have one question,

when connecting my mobile phone to the parrot ck3300 BT carkit/gps module the trackme device is working correct,

but when i lets say turn off my car the gps device is also turned off. and the mobile phone (trackme) is still connected?

if i resume my trip and start the car again it doens't connect automatically

to the gps, and so i lose the trip. because i need to close down the trackme application en restart it again.,

is there an possibility to let the trackme application autoresume after the gps is restarted?

let say try to connect every minute our XX seconds..

regards Mangelot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dusoo:
Im finally able to view my kml file on maps.google.com, but since yesterday i having problem to get Trackme gps-connected...I have tried to reinstall - it did not help. But, i have tried to run IGO - it has connected easily, then i switched back to TrackMe, leaving IGO on, and TrackMe was able to connect...

Im sure that i have not changed any settings on my phone or in TrackMe. Im on WM6 by the way. Can anyone suggest me to do anything? thanks a lot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prsgroup:
I had the same problem. Turns out that it was due to the version of mysql that I was running. The requests.php uses commands that are only supported with mysql 5.0 and above, specifically TIMESTAMPDIFF.

NEW VERSION AVAILABLE!!

- Now the KML shows the orientation (bearings). You can enable/disable this option when exporting data or when using Live Tracking. (Thanks mcross for providing the function to calculate the angle between 2 positions)

Notes:

1. If you are storing your data LOCALLY, this new version will erase your current information (I'm really sorry about that!)

2. If you are using your own server:

- Some server files have changed (export.php, requests.php and added new icons)

- You need to update your database with this query:

ALTER TABLE `positions` ADD `Angle` double default NULL
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prsgroup:
Your welcome. Thanks for a great job!

There are a couple of other issues that I encountered while setting up my server. As mentioned above, make sure that you're using mysql 5.x. In the readme for the server package, it directs you to chmod the pics folder. I also found it necessary to chmod the routes folder as well. Install.php successfully created the database and tables, but failed to modify config.php. I'm not sure why--I just manually modified the file.

Also I have a minor suggestion. If a picture is successfully uploaded, can the checkbox to the left of the picture be automatically cleared so that they are not, by default, included in subsequent uploads?

Thanks,

Rick
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Done! Check the new version that I just uploaded.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] prsgroup:
Thanks!

And one other thing... index.php references mootools-release-1.11.js which is not included in the server package. I'm not sure what it's used it for, but anyone that needs it can get it here.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w01f:
During live tracking, is it possible for the map to stay on satellite view during an automatic refresh?

At the moment, I have my local server map refresh every 30 seconds, but if the tracker is watching on the satellite view, it keeps switching back to normal map mode.

Many thanks!

P.S. What is the best way to delete unwanted Trips - SQL query or manually editing a file somewhere?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I cannot help you with that but maybe jcleek or mcross who worked on the web viewer may give you some information when they see your post.

There is an option in TrackMe called 'Manage Trips'. You can delete trips from there.

wat does the new update mean by orientation/barings??

i keep my phone upright in my car, wouldnt taht effect it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GpsPasSion:
Thanks for the new version. I am using my own server, but all the data does seem to be gone, at least it won't display on the map, I can only see the latest position, is this normal ? Any fix for that ?

Is it because the data has no angle ?

No biggie but I can't switch the language to French, German works though.

Did you have a chance to look into freezing the GPS position when the "force update" button is pushed instead of when the data is uploaded ? Would be useful to memory an exact spot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Did you update the server files? This version doesn't delete any data if you are storing it remotely.

>Did you have a chance to look into freezing the GPS position when the "force >update" button is pushed instead of when the data is uploaded ?

Yes, I did, unfortunately the way TrackMe is designed doesn't allow me to do that very easily. Sorry, but I don't plan to add that by now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GpsPasSion:
Ah ok, sorry to hear that, but thanks for looking into it. Still think it would be a nice plus ;-)

Not sure what's going on with the data not being displayed in v1.17, I restored my previous server version v1.16 and the tracks display fine. If I have time I will.

Another suggestion, when a request for an SMS is sent and GPS is set to disconnect between updates there is an error, could you force the acquisition of a GPS position when there is such a request ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
It may sound silly, but did you click on 'Show' when you are in v1.17? By default you won't see any data until you click that button. In previous versions wasn't like that.

By the way, web viewer v1.17 was released before I uploaded the version yesterday, so it has nothing to do with my latest changes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GpsPasSion:
That could be it, but I'm not seeing any "Show" button to click on ? Do you mean "Show User" top left ? Tried that and no change. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I mean the Show button under the Live tracking button.

Check the attached image.

GPS output

Staryon,

is it possible for you to also add an extra (virtual) COM port where you copy the incoming GPS data stream. I am having problems when I e.g. use both TomTom and Trackme. Either one of the apps gets the data stream, but never both at the same time. An extra port might solve this problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GpsPasSion:
Thanks, actually I don't have thise screen at all, in the server zip I downloaded yesterday, it looks like the old one but with v1.17 at the top instead.

I see index.php dated 03/02/2008, could that be the problem ?

Can you maybe reupload the zip ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] webpatrick:
Goto "External GPS Settings" somewhere in "Settings" and in the third tab choose automatic.

If "External GPS Settings" are not available, search the forum how to enable it so it turns up in Settings.

Hi Mcross,

I think the question is about the database.

In the trackme webbpage, In the calender if I try to change the date say :

Trip from 09 AM to 11 AM Go to calender and change the time to 09:30 AM to 10:30 AM in my server it does not work but it works in Luis.

Any ideas what`s wrong ?

I thought this quote meant that your new version here DID NOT include the ability to post the coordinates up to the web script you included.

You're saying that it does? Sorry for the confusion. I'll go ahead and try it out tonight and see what happens. I haven't used the product in a while. I'll PM you later tonight with a donation probably too.

attached are the server files, I did need to update the index.php and the install.php. everything else looked the same.

maybe this will solve some of the issues with the dates and only being able to see the live tracking. please repost if the problems are not solved.

staryon,

good job on adding the bearing's, i appreciate the addition. makes my maps much more readable. I will add the arrows to the web interface.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot. I just updated the file with yours.

By the way, this is the logic that I follow for showing the arrows so we keep both interfaces consistent:

if angle <22.5 -> Show arrow0.png
else if angle < 67.5 -> Show arrow45.png
else if angle < 112.5 -> Show arrow90.png
else if angle < 157.5 -> Show arrow135.png
else if angle < 202.5 -> Show arrow180.png
else if angle < 247.5 -> Show arrow225.png
else if angle < 292.5 -> Show arrow270.png
else if angle < 337.5 -> Show arrow315.png
else Show arrow0.png

However if you find a better logic or something that we may change just let me know.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] _LEM_:
I just noticed that your server files didn't include the latest icons (I made some changes in the icons this morning and they look much better now) I updated the zip file with those.

It can be downloaded from here as usual:

http://luisespinosa.com/bin/trackme/server.zip
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] emay:
I've got that, but it still does not work. I have tried all possible combinations, where I attached Trackme to the GPS program Port and Tomtom to the hardware port and v.v. Come to think of it I never tried to have both connected to the program port. I'll be back.

I'm back. I can only connect Tomtom to my hardware port (in my Trinity COM9) to get a signal. Connecting Trackme to the program port does not give a a useable signal. What next?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GpsPasSion:
Thanks for the new server files. I have the new buttons now but google map still centered in the Pacific Ocean and no data points displayed, do I need to run the install php again ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kai-Uwe:
Now many things goes wrong..

just update to the new version of Trackme 3.3.2.67-

Overwrite my old serverfiles with the new ones.

It looks like Trackme is runing fine....but...

There is nothing to see in google earth.. No trips no points nothing...

The webinterface stays also clean. only shows the global view. i can select the Trip. click show or live tracking......nothing to see...Show the "old" Version 1.17 ???

:eek:

And now: Switched back to the old server Files. Trackme ist still the newest version. And: Anything runs fine like before.... Ok. No Bearings etc. Just like before. Goggle Earth is also working fine again.

So there must be something wrong with the server-files.

Greetings Kai-Uwe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
works for me

well, i'm using my own server now and it all works fine. i'm still having some problems with the tables (in php4), so the display of the date and time is not very nice... but google earth shows the new arrows (direction) and google maps shows the whole trip if i say: show all points...

so i think, the server files are working...
