hello

just adding my voice to the appreciation of this fantastic app.

has anyone tried sporttrack for windows, it's a great training/ logging program and can do loads with gpx data from gpscyclecomputer.

You can get it here - it's unexpiring shareware atm.

http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks/

(please note I have NO affiliation with sporttrack other than being a happy user.)

hope this is useful to someone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jgobeil:
SportTracks is indeed a great app. Make sure you get the plug-ins you need. Quite handy to follow up on your training. I have been using it with a Garmin GPS watch but not (yet) with GCC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jgobeil:
Thanks Andy for a great application. Well made and and very useful. I use it for biking, walking and trekking. The only drawback is the battery drain on the small Diamond 1300mah battery.

2 suggestions for future development consideration:

1- A Pocket mode - like on Pathaway GPS 5. Keeps the unit on, turns off screen and locks keys. Much easier on the battery and prevents unit from turning back on when in pocket.

2- An alternate main screen like the one in the iPhone app RunKeeper - simple and very visual.

Cycle computer & HTC Rose

I just bougth a new HTC Rose(S740 here in italy) to use it with my mtb and "gps cycle computer".

Installs ok,but doesn't work,it give me this error:

GpsCycleComputer.exe

NotSupportedException

in Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()

in

System.Windows.Forms.Control._InitInstance()

in System.Windows.Forms.Control..ctor()

.

.

.

etc etc

Please help me!

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DarrenUtd:
I like the current main screen rather than one like RunKeeper, because of the amount of information available on the current screen. I prefer power and functionality over simplicity, which I guess is why I have a Windows Mobile phone rather than a fruit phone.

But as long as this is OPTIONAL, I'd be okay with it.

Hi

I tested this program 700km in my Diamond and if it runs WM6.1 all was ok.But since i installed WM6.5 Starts problem i can start program and program also find sattelites but that all.when i try start tracking .All posisions is 00.00 exept latitude-longitude.Only sometimes after long time i can see distance is 0.01 but time still 0.00 and compass also not moving.Tomtom and HTC Tool working correctly.So i need help i really like this program

Speed in GPX files in km/h

Hi Andy

Actually in the exported GPX file, the speed is in km/h.

But for some software, the speed must be in m/s (miles per second) and with the GPX file

exported with GCC, the speed is multiplied by 3.6 factor!

Can you add an option to choose between km/h and m/s for GPX file

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndyZap:
I need to look at the data which is coming from your GPS, maybe the altitude is in a different record. Would you be able to capture the raw data from GPS, and attach to your post? the instruction are in post 555 of this thread:

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickokio:
how is development of graphs and race options working out so far?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] AndyZap:
No progress for far, have very busy time at work.. Do not know if it is getting worse everywhere (due to economic conditions :eek: ), but we are frequently asked to work weekends and evenings (never had this before...)

Still - posted a new release today :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickokio:
Allrite thanks for the update! they should pay you for gcc development

And will download the new release, which i did not notice yet...

One more thing, i have problems with the altitude meter, its too high (but this can be fixed) but also the difference in altitudes of tracks recorded is incorrect, it states about 30 meters difference while in reality it should be max 5 meters difference...any clue how come?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] nickokio:
Maybe another feature request i found out yesterday, while biking:

While navigating using the map it would be nice to have a compass somewhere, now it is most of the times unclear which direction im going in order to find a predefined track.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] hobs0n:
Just wanted to say that I really love this program! Had it on almost the whole day on a big boat and road trip with my mom and a couple of relatives with kids. Pretty awesome to see where we had went after =)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Daaka:
Hello AndyZapm,

I live in Italy and I love hiking in the mountains.

I just discovered your software and using it to plot new courses designed by me.

Using the mobile phone HTC Diamond, and (as I hope you know) has a battery that lasts for very little: with GPS enabled always managed to draw only 1:36 h with about 30% battery (original: 900) remaining. This is a problem! I have only PocketShield for sleep and block the screen. :(

However I have come to mind various features you might add:

In the map mode and the main page:​

An arrow indicating the direction you are going, this is useful especially when you load a GPX or KML file ... without it I had a sense of disorientation. Option activated from the configuration.

Map mode:​

1) Show CheckPoint (such as Google Earth placemarks) created through the Pause and loaded by GPX and KML files. Option always enabled.

The main page:​

1) Have a button to pause and configuration is very inconvenient if you want to change the software settings (esempio relative altitudine). Better to have 2 buttons, if possible!

2) In the main page: possibility to see the graph of latitude.

3) Possibility to have a compass, temporarily activated in full screen.

- The GCC files (and KML, GPX created after) should be in a folder of the software (such as maps).

Folder name eg: "tracks"

If you need to have other opinions let me know at your disposal.

Your software is the best on the free market and pay!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] night_fusion17:
Hello. I used this software for the first time today, and I love it already!

My suggestions are creating a marker at the start and end of the track, and a numbered marker every mile/kilometre (depending on units) so you can see how far you travelled at that point. Maybe even markers with your current speed at set intervals.

Track Lost when WM crashes

Hi,

thanks for this very good app. However, yesterday my Diamond crashed after 2 hours of logging - an the whole track was lost. I don't know what happened, but the screen was off and it would not come on again. A reset solved the problem.

Maybe you could add a function allowing saving the track every x Minutes...?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] glaucos:
Read the readme or this topic to find the (very simple) solution! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Floyd42:
Hi,

shame on me, found it - and will remember it now.

However, what about this feature: The tmp.gcc is renamed to tmp_gcc.bak when the track saving has been completed successfully. If the app starts and it finds the file tmp.gcc, it notifies the user, that something went wrong and asks if tmp.gcc should be saved now. This could be implemented easily and prevents data loss.

Furthermore it improove usability, as users are not required to fully understand the internals. If I'm out somewhere with my bike, I'm much more a stupid user than a geek willing to dig into readme details.....
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] glaucos:
Good idea, hope that AndyZap will implement it! :)

But if you are a REAL GEEK(:)) (waitng for the new option) you can do a mortscript to launch GCC: check if file tmp.gcc exist, copy or rename it, than start GCC.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] MrLAG:
I like new features added, but I like 3.100 version design more :(.

Think I'll see what's new after I return from my vacations :).

There was limit to number of map-files, how much is it now, didn't find an information. Got already about 500 for the area i going to visit soon, going to be about 800 ).
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] silviontz:
Man, put your phone into flight mode with bluetooth on, my HTC Wizard lasted for 8 hrs and still had juice for another 4.

Andy, about the suggestions above, i also think they're great. But I'm sure he meant altitude, not latitude :)

Is there a manual?

Hello, I have a few questions about this program:

- Is there a manual/faq ?

- Does the program keep running fine on a touch diamond after pressing the power off button? This might sound as a stupid question but heck the mp3 player keeps working so this tool might work as well?

- I noticed that when I press the play (start) button the clock does not start running, why is that? Does it require a GPS fix to run? And what if I lose the fix, does the timer stops?

Basically what I want to achieve is to go from a to b with my bicycle and find out how much time it took me. Also I would like to listen to music at the same time and keep the phone off to prevent some calls from being answered or even dialled while the phone is in the pocket.

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DarrenUtd:
It works fine on my Touch Pro after I turn off the screen with the power button. I'm pretty sure it will continue to run on the Diamond as well.

From my experience, if the GPS fix is lost the time stops counting. Also keep in mind that if you have it configured to exclude time that you are stopped, the time will not start until you are moving.

If all you want is to time your ride, you might be better off with a simple stopwatch app. If you want the cycle computer features or to log your ride (position and altitude vs. time) using GPS data, then this is a great program for that.

Feature Requests

Simply great application, I've been using it for two weeks now and find it awesome. Thank you!

I had one question and one feature request.

Question:

I believe I downloaded the latest version of this app yet it looks different on the phone then the below image

I see the play, stop and screen power off buttons at the bottom instead of the top and the buttons on the below don't show up at all. Please tell me why/

Feature Requests: Data in Metric units

Can we have an option to switch to metric units as well? (Kilometer, Meter, etc). This will be great for contries like India, who follow the metric system.

Once again, many thanks for this great-great application!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peron:
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback, you cleared all my doubts.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LayzJay:
Sorry if this has been asked,but call me lazy trolling through 94 pages seems quite a long process to find the answer im looking for..

Ive got GPS Cycle Computer installed with no problems, I've read the readme file but Im not having much luck with the maps.

I used the JTileDownloader Java app to download the tiles from OpenStreetMap, I've got them to display but when they do display the image does not fill the screen on my HTC Touch HD and looks pretty awfull, zoom level 14 and 16.

All i downloaded was 50Km radius from north of London UK... even so took ages!

What ways are people finding the most successfull with the maps?

Does anybody have any screenshots of there mapviews?

Im getting fed up of downloading tiles which takes ages only for them to look awfull when displayed on the phone
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Daaka:
Can we automatically download the maps of interest from google maps (instead of Openstreet)? Next features ^^
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ducamie:
just wanted to come in here and say i used this app for a while on my diamond which i have now replaced with a g1

the android app by google 'my tracks' is nowhere near as good as this app. i dont know if its hardware but the g1 is very inaccurate compared with my old diamond and 'gps cycle computer v3' (when viewed in .kml 'my tracks' can be 50 meters out).. so congrats developer :) youre better than google.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LayzJay:
I've just been out and done about 15 miles on my bicycle, got home checked my phone and according to it i only did 2.39 miles.

So to be honest not inpressed, stored my touch hd in the top of my camelbak which shouldn't be a problem.

On the other hand it logged the journey i did in the car yesterday, but it does lag on the current speed. It takes it a few seconds to catch up with the real speed of the car.

Looks like Im going to by a garmin for reliability!!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bakker_be:
I've had a similar experience :(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jgobeil:
If you check off "Exclude stop time" under the "Main Screen" options tab, you will find that it is quite accurate. Excluding stop time would be nice, but unfortunately it does not seem to be accurate at all, at least for me.

Also, if you set "GPS activity" to "Run every minute" under the GPS options tab, you will find that is is pretty decent on battery life.

I like this SW a lot and it does the job quite well for me. It does live tracking on crossingways.com and can create a .GPX file for geocoding photos.

Enjoy !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LayzJay:
Did you experience any problems conecting to gps satellites? I have google maps on my touch hd which connects quickly with no problems.

gpscyclecomputer takes forever connecting and more often doesnt connect..

Any ideas??

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jgobeil:
Mine connects rather quickly - I'd say within 30 seconds. No problems there. You may want to experiment with the GPS parameters - mine are set to COM4 at 4800 bauds.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zyxyz1999:
Same problem on my TP2 :mad:

COM4 at 4800 doesn't work for me. Google maps using default settings :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kaimane:
@zyxyz1999

Try this Software (HTC GPS TOOL) to find out your GPS settings.

It scans your COM ports and rate. When fixed you can check your config by clicking on the settings tab.

With the correct settings GPS CyCO works for me absolutely fine!

Best regards

Kai
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LayzJay:
I tried this software last week and it couldn't see any satelittes.. Did i do something wrong?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kaimane:
Did the software find at least the GPS port and rate?

To get some satellites fixed maybe you have to get infomation about the current satelitte position with the help of QuickGPS .

Hope this solution will help you!

Best regards ...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LayzJay:
I've just reinstalled the gps tool, on launch of the tool com port is 4 and baudrate is 57600.

When i open the port in gps tool loads of info starts populating the box under all the options..

Should i set the baudrate in cycle computer to 57600?

Google maps is using comm 0 baudrate4800

I set the baudrate to 57600 in gpscyclecomputer and it connected to satallittes in about 10 seconds...that was also next to a window.

Will have to see what happens when i walk to the station after work..

Many Thanks

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] DougEdey:
First things first; thanks for a great piece of awesome software!

I've been using 3.103 perfectly for a while and decided to update to the latest version and now even though it can find 9 satellites it cannot get a lock (doesn't change to PST or locked) and this used to be fine on the older version.

GPS settings are all the same on both versions (Com4:4800) on a HTC diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] FutureCow:
Verry nice program, used it yesterday while sailing!

I have only one question, I set the GPS to always on. When i analyze the GPX file, the time between the positions are 4 seconds. Is their a way to change this to 2 seconds?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zios:
GPS activity: short time interval needed.

GCC installed few hours ago. It seems to me a good GPS tracing tool.

Regarding to the GPS activity, I think short time intervals, ie, 1,2,3,...10 sec., are more useful while that > 1 min are useless.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Jgobeil:
Maybe useless for you but not for me. I use 1 minute intervals and I upload to crossingways.com every minute. It works great and it is much better for battery life.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] zyxyz1999:
All is working fine now... No idea what was the tricks. A cold start was probably missing... :)

Anyway thanx for you help.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LessThanSte:
Oooo this is exactly what im after.

The more important question though is does anyone have a good way to attach the diamond to a bike? Are there any holders out there that are good for this, or do i need to get the cable ties out?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Kaimane:
Hi LessThanSte,

maybe this would be a good solution for you: Herbert Richter Bicycle Mount combined with the Herbert Richter Diamond Holder.

I am tracking my rides with this combination since a half year and I can really suggest it!

Hope I could help you ...

Best regards!

I use a Herbert Richter mount with my Palm Treo. I agree with Kaimane, they really are a good bike mount solution, although for extra security, I add a strong rubber band to make sure the phone can't be thrown out on rough ground!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] faeArai:
Hey,

is there a way to use an other server side software to store positions? I'd like to use my own (to be developed) application and put my gps position to it by using GCC. Is it possible to simply put that information to my server by calling an url like https://host/$deviceid/$long/$lat?

I know of uTrack, but it's hard to close that applications when using tf3d as it does not show up on htc's task manager. GCC is nice and one can enable and disable gps... and it is opensource, too.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Limlin:

Is there a way for mass converting gcc files to gpx files for uploading to the likes of mapmyrun etc?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LessThanSte:
I like this program. I like the quirky drawings that my cycle routes make. Im now fiddling with CrossingWays.com (once i figured out how to put it in english :rolleyes:)

I dont have a data connection though, so am dealing with uploading the gpx files manually every few days. However, this also means that i cant get any maps or anything during the route, which the menus seem to suggest i should be able to!

Are there any freeware maps available that i guess would go on the route page and have the route ive cycled drawn on? Is this actually supported or am i making it up? I have TomTom on my phone, is there any way i could use those maps?

Anyway, lovely program, cant wait for the pedometer to come along :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] LessThanSte:
And ive thought of something else. I notice on crossingways.com that you get an elevation graph, but is there any data within the gpx file to create a similar graph for speed?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Stuhl_im_Orbit:
Hey,

this program is near to perfection!!! :D

But I would like to know, if the virtual training partner is still in developement, so that you can run against your own track record. That would be a perfect feature for runners :D.

Furthermore it GCC would be the perfect training monitor, if you could show the average speed or pace time for the last miles/kms! Maybe the last 3 miles/km-pace times for last mile/km and those before. Overall average is nice to know, but litte differentiation would be best ;).

e.g.:

pace:

km -3 = 5:20

km -2 = 5:56

km -1 = 6:10

(in general i became slower and slower :D)

Thanks for this great program. It is the nicest looking tracker.

I am running 3.114 on a P3300. I have been tracking my evening walks. At 0 UTC (I'm -5, so it's 7:00 pm) the program almost completely locks up. It appears to be trying to get a satellite lock, but it never does. If I press stop and start, it gets a lock almost immediately and works fine from then on. Tonight I let it keep going for a couple of hours after freezing, and it never recovered on its own. The battery indicator said 97% when I finally quit, but it was actually 71%, so that seems to lock up too.
