I'll fix this in a few hours - have to leave now

Installed 0.4.2

My BT GPS won't work at all!:confused:

Can't start Countdown? When I trie to reset there always will be 1 minute left!

The color of + button (Seconds) looks and stays grayed-out (but I can adjust seconds - or + as well)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Parg:
I have no idea waht I've done. The most important condition is, that the receiver works (you can test this in other programs, TomTom for example).

My settings in G-Watch are:

[X] Activated GPS

Windows managed

That's all.

My device is a Holux GPSlim 240

Hi again!

I'm really glad that you liked my suggestions. There is nothing better then a developer that understands the user needs :). Regarding a trip to Norway I would of course recommend that. I'm very proud of my country, and during wintertime it's beautiful. But I have to warn you, beer is really expensive :eek:

actual speed

Hi, is it possible to display the actual speed instead of the average speed?

Another question: what speed is given in the .csv file. I sometimes drive my car at 273 km/h??? My average speed according to g-watch was roughly 101 km/h, the average speed in the .csv file is 184,...

Hi!

How am I suppose to turn on backlight after turning it off with G-Watch? At the moment I have to use the power button, is this how it's intended to be? Because when I uses the power button to turn on the backlight, the screen flickers for a second and then turns off. After pressing the power button a second time, the backlight turns on as it should.

great weekend update!

for me is practically perfect! one of the most complete chrono for PPC!!!!!

fantastic job!

just a little think... try to reduce the gap between press and display... i've testet, it works fine aand after it show the time correctly but is orrible to see....

after that great job man!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bbju:
Awesome application. I have been looking for a neat timer/stopwatch for quite some time. I used to have a very simple but useful timer on my Sony Ericsson phone but it's gone in my diamond (I need it to time my parking meter refilling. The built-in alarm of WM is too troublesome to use as a timer). Now this Gwatch simply comes in perfect! Awesome!!!

Thanks!!

Hi, some news again...

0.4.4 released -> Just an update for people on the western and southern hemispheres

http://www.ageye.de/?s=download

this happens because the gps module always updates it's position and because it's not very accurate it sends different positions every second although you are standing still...

I hope I find some way to clear the real gps positions from the "wrong" positions...

please wait until I release a Bluetooth version

Do you live in the USA or western hemisphere? try downloading v0.4.4 (just released) and see if it works...

Thank you for that! I hope I can fix it soon...

that's strange! G-Alarm will have backlight on/off with hardware buttons in the next version... this should work better than the power off/on button of the device...

stay tuned...

(I have currently an internship again so the update frequency is a lot less ;-))
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
Sorry it was already version 0.4.4 i installed and tested!:o

I will wait for an Bluetoothversion!

Succes with G-Watch! I don't like it, I love it!:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fredcatsmommy:
was unable to uninstall version 0.4.3 to install 0.4.4. Got a message that the prior version could not be uninstalled. I didn't have that problem with 0.4.2.

edit: also didn't matter that I then tried to delete all files and registry of g-watch. still won't install.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
simply install 0.4.4 over 0.4.3. you don't have to successfully uninstall a prior version...

Hi ageye!

I notice that you are developing new features at the moment, and I'm looking forward to a new release with hardware button support:D. In the mean time I would like to suggest another feature request:p.

At the moment the only way to view a saved session is to export it to either .csv, .kml or .gpx (which is a great feature), however it would be nice to be able to load a saved session in some sort of viewer inside G-Watch. The viewer could have the exact same layout as the stop-watch screen, but without the start, stop and split button (which would make no sense when watching a saved session). The ability to load a session for viewing inside G-Watch should be possible from the same screen as the export to .csv, .kml or .gpx.

I also think that the list of sessions should be easier accessible than it is at the moment. In my opinion the session list has nothing to do with settings, and therefore should be placed closer to the stop-watch screen.

PS! I hope that you don't find my feature requests as a burden, I'm only trying to be creative and help making G-Watch as useful as possible.:)

PK

suggestion

Great app (as usual from Ageye)!

One suggestion though: why not make distance logging available for the countdown also? So that one could just punch in 12min, push start and start running -> run until the device alarms and voila: excact Cooper test result! (logging would start when countdown starts and ends when the assigned time runs out)

-p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I don't like the Cooper test ;-) We will see...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] [germany]merlot:
But don't forget to keep the application as simple as possible. Maybe you should add all these stuff into another great Ageye application like G-Runner, G-Tracker or something like that.

the GPS config doesn't works

Hi:

i have a HTC P3300 with a built-in GPS receiver, i'm trying to enable the GPS in the program, but if i use the windows managed option, the program doesn't connect, and when i try to use the NMEA configuration (COM4, 4800 bauds) the program crashes the pocket-pc.

Does anybody know how can i configure the program to aviod this?

And do i need to reinstall the program each time to clear the GPS config?

Thanks in advance.:confused:

(Sorry about my english)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

I'm using a P3300 and have no trouble using the GPS when set to windows managed. So if you could provide some more information it would be easier to help with your issue.

Does the GPS work in other applications like tomtom or Google Maps? Is the problem that you don't get a fix? Have you used quickGPS to download the latest satellite information? Have you tried to leave it with a clear view to the sky for some minutes? Does it report any satellites at all on the status screen? Which ROM do you use by the way?

Regards,

PK

It's me again.

A new version is coming soon...

I need your help:

I want to include voice output (e.g. every 60 seconds: "Distance: 5.4 km, Current speed: 10.4 km/h, Average speed 13.2 km/h").

I need someone who records some words and send it to me! I would send you a txt file with the words you should speek...

Hopefully someone can help me
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rgonzruiz:
I agree... I just need the simple countdown timer and stop watch functionality... All the extra GPS and tracking functions doesn't apply to me... great app anyways!

I have a question: I notice that if the device goes into sleep mode (i.e. turns off/suspends after 1 minute), G-Alarm is able to wake it up and ring.... But the Countdown timer on G-Watch just stops working and resumes countdown when the device is woken up.... I sometimes use countdown timers for 1 or 2 hours or more and keeping the backlight on or not letting the device suspend it self would eat up the battery life faster...

Is there a way you can implement the same G-Alarm method of tracking time with the countdown timer so that it keeps running even if the device suspends itself (not simply by turning off just the lcd, but actaully working just as G-Alarm does)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
New version released: v0.5

Some new features:

1. Support for Bluetooth GPS devices! Please report if it works... (I only got 1 device for 1 day)

2. Support for hardware buttons: this function is very device specific! Some devices wake up (from display off) if you press a button others don't. My Diamond only wakes up when I press the the middle DPAD button so I took this button for display on/off...

3. I added a window which displays your speed, distance, time, compass, altitude, etc. with big letters/numbers (I post some screenshots later). Just tap on the main screen somewhere (not on the buttons of course)

4. Lots of bugfixes and stability improvements! Please test!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Hi

Thank you for the new version. Just a few observations from initially installing.

1. The GPS Status is running but no lat/long/alt readings just blank. Valid satellites 3/4. The GPS button on first screen shows no green tick although GPS is running.

2. When scrolling through the GPS options when you get bluetooth come up but don't want it and go to the next device option G-Watch has switched on bluetooth without asking :-(

Not sure if it will work outside like this? If you think it will I'll gladly try it.

Timers and new speed page very nice!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] custardo01:
Correction - after starting TomTom once G-Watch is now showing all readings to do with GPS. Button now has green tick.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mguzzy:
Hi ageye

Great app... I wish I had loaded before this weekend! I needed it for timing a soccer match yesterday (you know went we yanks call football!) The app I was using went awry when the backlight went off on my i760!... Just loaded ver .5 and its running great! I like the hard button assignments. Just like everyone else I have a few feature requests!

1) Can the time display be made bigger?! Something along the lines of the display you have for G-Alarm. And bigger buttons.. I haven't played around with the skins yet, so I don't know if I can do that with skinning

2) I would like to be set preset alarm in the Timer or Stopwatch. This would go off after set time with a vibe/sound. For example I could set the stop watch for 30min (the length of the soccer halves for our youth games) and an alarm every 10 min for substitutions. Or I had this feature in a running watch.. I could set a tone to go off at preset time to see if I was staying on pace.

And I don't know if this is a bug or its intended operation, in the automatic split feature, will only "autosplit" the first time. say I want it to generate a split every 30 sec, I'll only get the split at thirty seconds, not at 60, 90 etc. The reason I think its a bug is the vibe goes off in a weird way at the next split time. I could use this feature for my suggestion 2 above if a sound could be assigned at the split instead of just a vibe.

Thanks

Mark
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
1. Can't get a fix/ it don't work for me, windows managed, Status almost:Running, but no satelites.

If I choose other option NMEA: Status almost:Stopped

HDOP/VDOP/PDOP: 50,00 ? Why is their no option for COM0?

I also have TTN 6.0 running on my device, even when I activaded it,

nothing happens. Is there a special procedure to connect G-Watch with Bluetooth?

2. Support for hardware buttons: Works perfect! Love it!

Is it possible to create an RESET button-support to?

3. See no window speed, distance, time, compass, altitude, etc.

with big letters/numbers. Maybe because my GPS don't work!?

Love that APP. Great work!;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Haven't you noticed the 4th GPS mode:

1. Windows managed

2. NMEA

3. Alternative NMEA

4. Bluetooth

@COM0: sorry, that is still missing! I will add it...

@Reset hardware button: I will add it...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tekknogenius:
Could you add option of showing the current time? At present since G-Watch takes up the entire screen, there is no way to tell what time it is without switching apps. That was to only feature I saw missing (from my limited use). I checked the options to see if it was somewhere there, but didn't find it. Perhaps I overlooked it.

Great program. Thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] goldenguy111:
fantastic little app you got here ageye! here are a few ideas that i've got that might prove useful...

if it's possible, why not create multiple timers? and give it the option of starting both timers at the same time, but ending them separately?

just a suggestion, and thanks for your work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
good idea...

I won't implement it. Simply start the timer and use the split function to have seperate ending times...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] FOSA:
RE

Thanks for the compass function with v0.5

On my HTC TOUCH PRO the compass is occupying only a small circle about 1cm in diameter on the top left hand corner.

Can increase to say half the screen size (with some degree readings) on either the top/bottom section and the other half displaying the needed info?

I need the compass for topo use

Thanks again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Foramin:
Same for me! As I normally use countdowns >1 hour, my device has to go to standby! I've been looking for a program like this for long time and the only one that works with sleep mode is unfortunately not very finger-friendly...

Would be great if you implement this feature!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
Please use G-Alarm (http://www.ageye.de) for that feature. There you can define quick alarms (run in 1 hour 15 minutes or whatever you want)

G-Watch won't have this feature...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] luckyuser:
1. 4). I'm sorry, I overlooked that option. I tried it and the news can't be better, IT WORKS, GREAT:cool:Get a fix in a split second, valid satellites: 8 or 10

No additional Bluetooth or other settings necessary, choose Bluetooth device/Select a device/Refresh List. WORKS

2.The Altitude value in G-Watch: 140 m

Garmin Gps Elevation: 149 m

Elevation-line on Map Topo Dutch 150 M

I also checked my position with my Garmin Gps 60csx and TomTom Go 700 and its excactly the same!:eek:

In that case it would be a nice feature in G-Watch to have the option for choosing different N(Lat) and E(Lon) postionformats settings:

i.e.

Garmin position format settings:

hddd0mm.mmm'

hddd.ddddd0

hddd0mm'ss.s"

TomTom position format settings:

Degrees: g.g.0

Minutes: g0m.m'

Seconds: g0m's"

0= degrees (sorry, must be in superscript, can't find the option in the editor)

3.It would be nice to give someone your Lat/Lon positon for different,(most commen formats) input in some devices!

4.Also a nice option: when you are using G-Watch, sent your position to someone else by SMS or E-mail!:rolleyes: Most apps i have seen, won't work at all!

5.Is it possible to switch the Lat/Lon lines in the inteface GPS-Status of G-Watch

1. line:North (Latitude)

2. line:East (Longitude)

Maybe change Altitude to Elevation

Its more commen/standard in GPS-world!

6.Noticed that when I close G-Watch, Bluetooth-connection won't shutdown or stop itself!

7.Don't understand the terms: HDOP/VDOP/PDOP?

G-WATCH: I Don't like it, I love it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi ageye!

Great new release, the hardware buttons work like a charm! One question though, I have noticed that memory footprint is quite high. The Artemis has only 64 MB of RAM, and as little as 10-15 MB free on a fresh boot. Is there anything that can be done to reduce memory footprint? What about the skin files? If I'm not wrong, on a qvga device all the graphics is being reduced from vga (which seems to be the native resolution for all the graphics) to qvga on the fly at runtime. Could the memory footprint be reduced by making separate qvga and vga skins and graphics?

@4: Nice idea, what about automatic sending of SMS at split time. Combined with automatic split times this could be a very useful feature for reporting own position regularly.

@5: Totally agree.

RE

I think we're asking for a GPS navigator here instead of G-Watch :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] okvasnikov:
very nice application!

would it be possible to lock lap time automatically once you pass same spot second, third etc. time?

It would be a great feature for all motorcycle riders on a race track. There is no way you can click anything operating a bike on a race track at the same time.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
+1

I actually asked for almost the same earlier, that we could have automatic split times at given waypoints. The waypoints could be imported from a earlier session or from a gpx file.

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

I don't think so, actually there are no navigation features at the moment, no routes, no go to waypoint etc. But I agree that it is important that G-Watch don't evolve into a navigation software. The main feature should focus on timing and GPS logging, and the benefits of integrating a GPS into a stop watch.

New version released: 0.5.1

This is just a version which fixes the auto-split bug...

Download: http://www.ageye.de/?s=download

The future of G-Watch:

I've read all your posts and you have some good ideas. For now I'm at a point where I have to decide wether to make G-Watch pretty huge (not slow or big but with many functions) or not.

I won't probably release a new version for a few days/weeks because I am pretty busy right now and the plans which I have demand some redesign...

Realistic features are:

Voice output

Waypoints navigation

Automatic split when you finish a lap (that means: when you come to a position again it will split)

Map view (offline with JPG/PNG files and online with Google Maps (?))

Multilanguage

Stay tuned!

counter freezing during sleep

Hi ageye,

I just notified your great alarm and timer programs.. :)

I tried both application, and I have one request for G-Watch program to solve the the following problem:

After start G-Watch, i use power-off button (to turn off screen, lock the keys etc..). In this case the stopwatch and timer stops counting. After turning on the device, functions continuing to work, but skip counting during the device was in sleep mode.

Can you implement keep-awake mechanism into the software?

I mean that kind of mechanism like HTC Audiomanager: this program continues playing the music after I press the power button.

Thank you

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] paalkr:
Hi!

On my HTC Artemis it actually works to turn of the device by the power switch. When I power back on, neither the timer nor the GPS logging has stopped.

Have you tried to use the inbuilt blank screen function in G-Watch? It can be mapped to a hardware button that overrides default hardware button mappings, as long as G-Watch i running.

Regards,

PK
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ageye:
I still haven't found a way to do this. For now you have to use the G-Watch display off function (like Paalkr suggested)

This doesn't consume more power than powering off the device would use with turned on GPS and timers...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aafjes:
Ageye, I have been using your applications for a long time and feel some regret now. Regret that I haven't thanked you before for your great applications.

It's good to see somebody who creates great, useful (free) applications and keeps supporting them. I'll donate you some coffee, because I think you deserve something back for all the hard work.

Keep working like this!
