Null error

I'm also getting the null error when emailing. Both on a touch pro 2 and a treo pro. I have an email account chosen and default email address set. I'd use 1.1 but there's no scheduled email function.

This is the closest I've found to a tracking app for the treo pro. Every other app (mologogo, gpstoday, trackr, google latitude, etc) either runs the gps full-time and runs down the battery, or just won't function when the device goes into standby. Must be the way the Treo Pro handles power management to the gps. Smartphonetracker works great but isn't real-time and I pay per SMS, so this seems ideal. Thanks so much for putting it together!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mirroalex:
Good idea and very good and useful application, but i have suggestion, so as you know something like this not the same of course, your program has it benefits( i don't want to talk about them) google maps has, i mean with the help of google maps and latitude you can share your location with your friend,

now my suggestion is, can you add feature where you can send other places/locations coordinates(and not your current location) to someone else for example, me and my friend have to go party tonight and only me know the address so i send the location (not my location because at that time i'm at home) to my friend so he will know where is the address of party.(of course the main problem is that your program must get coordinates from google maps where i mentioned the specific location may be it is kinda impossible...)

P.S of course you can do this again with the help of google maps latitude by setting your location manually(and not on automatic detection) but it is not convenient as it will take some time for me to change my options on google maps and in the other hand may be i don't want to add specific person to my latitude!

P.S-2 it is just suggestion I didn't say that your program is bad, I'm not programmer at all to judge your great program I'm just ordinary person so please don't be mad!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romantashev:
Very fast and useful prog.

Can you please add an option...to copy to clipboard only the coordinates, without the links and date. It will be great and easy when you use this application for collecting waypoints and put them all together in a notepad (coordinates only) with short description. Thanks alot.

Heelo! I'd like to repeat my motion. Can you change time interval in http scheduling? I'd like to set there time interval in SECONDS too. It will be good in updating my position on my site :) Thx for it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bru21:
Hello,

First of all thanks for this great soft.

I use HTC HD2 with .NET V3.5.

I have a probleme with the scheduling EMAIL fonction.

When it sends the email there the message its displays : " an error occured on sub__routines_sendmail2. nullreferenceexceoption Continue ?"

If I continue the message disapeat until the next send.

If I don't continu the software close.

Any idea ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romantashev:
did you try the program called "sms with location" ? It does the things you like. It uses wizi services for sharing locations, and send to sms any location you want from the map.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bru21:
Thanks for your reply.

I didn't tried sms "with location" because I want the email function too :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romantashev:
It has SMS function, E-mail, and Copy to clipboard.:)

Maps are powered by Google
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ctennenh:
No emailing at fixed intervals, though, which is the most important functionality IMO.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romantashev:
GPS Location, SMS_With_Location, WMMiniGPS

True, so we hope in the next releases of "GPS Location" to be included a map as in "SMS with location". A combination of both programs will be the best.

Another simple program is WMMiniGPS. Its so simple, it just record the location in a log file at time intervals. At the end you have 1 .txt file with all the coordinates taken with the time stamp at the front. You just start and then stop it to make a waypoint. Its very useful if you like to make lots of waypoints on you trip, then process them in some GIS programs for databases.

I'm searching app, which can send MMS with maps screenshot (from Google maps or something).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] romantashev:
MMS with maps screenshot with WM6.5

For that purpose I`m using the program "SMS with Location", mark a location on the map, type something on the location, then take a snapshot with "Whip2Snap" (which is started before and its in the background; then shake your phone like a whiplash to save the screen in a predefined folder; then send the screen snap by e-mail/MMS.

Thats how i do it....it's not that slow.

@Highway:

Thanks again for implementing the 140 SMS to accomodate Verizon texts. I use the option constantly.

FYI, I've noticed that implementing the 140 chars option in settings does not stick after the app is closed. You need to select it each time the app is started.

I've tried manually changing the settings in the settings.txt file, but the app apparently overwrites that file and resets the value to false.

Is that setting stored in the registry, or maybe the .config, so I can change it manually and make it stick?

Thanks!

Hi,

Did anyone ever find a resolve for this error?

System.IO.IOException:GPS Location.dll

It is a native install on a winCE .net 5.0 device (car unit)

does the dll need to be registered or something? *(stabbing in the dark here)

any help appreciated.

i got a few question about it, i have implant the GPS/GSM module at my laptop by slotting it into mini PCIE slot, using Sierra Wireless MC8780.

im using linux debian oshirix OS, so is it possible to use ur scripts to detect my laptop in case it is stolen? maybe send the coordination via email? thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lightriser:
great app, thanks

Works fine on my Blackstone WM6.5, thanks! I love such a small and usefull software!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iusauser:
Simple app, and my only complaints are the low resolution in some element of the user interface. Also, do not work on my the device mobile GMaps links; but they work great in gmaps desktop version.

If sending location link through SMS (link in gmaps desktop mode), once in the browser of the target device, you can select Classic view (at bottom of the gmaps web page), and and get a DYNAMIC gmap; BUT depends on the destination device ...because in certain mobile devices only gets a simple map image, which can be saved, as any image in the browser.

In the case of sending the link via email, the desktop link of gmaps again works great in the target device's browser; besides that if you, in addition, select the option to send the KML file as an attachment (through the program settings) the location will opens in the gmaps app of the target device, instead of the browser

In summary, It still GREAT app, functional and send your location via sms, or via email without relying on 3rd party servers .

(tested 1.2 beta3, WM 6.5 ROM, hybrid HTC Touch Pro 2)

connect

Hi is there a way to auto connect as if satellites are lost or in no network area app closes & then again it has to be reconnected
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pcace:
Hi There,

i just found my old XDA terra and thought about making a little Tracking Software out of it.

The i found this awesome piece of software. But some Things are a litle bit annoing:

1. There is no way to run it in the Background

2. There is no way to autoconnect to the external GPS module, if it had no power, or simply got out of range for example

3. there is no integration of OpenGTS which would be so overwhelming amazing!!!

4. its more a windows mobile thing, but is there any way to autostart the software in WM5? so whenever i loose power but the phone comes up again, it automatically starts transmitting again...

5. It does not save the schedules - so whenever i restart the Software, i have to reenable the scheduling option

6. i am using Flexmail, but when i use the internal mailprogramm, i get A nullreference pointer exeption... like some posts before mine... Any Idea to fix that?

and an other thing: i am willing to contribute to that piece of software, but therefore i would need the code. Is there any chance to make this opensource? :good:

I really would appreciate any kind of answer from you guys!

Thank you so much,

Pcace

Um but google maps has real time location sharing built in via Latitude. Works on WM, Ipod Touch, iphone and probably a wifi laptop using loki. You can look up locations of others on the device or a pc. On WM it even updates google location in backgound.

Hi

Has anyone else tried this on a WM Standard device? I can install it on my QTek 8500 (StrTrk) running WM6.1 but when I run it I get an "UnsupportedException Error" message. Will this app only work on Touchscreen phones? Can it be recompiled to run on WM Standard phones?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timwb:
Have you folks considered that this situation is BECAUSE it synchronises with Exchange/Activesync? It is not a standard pop or imap email account that sends/recieves email over the net, so the app doesn't consider it possible to send mail from that account?

not working on HTC Touch Diamond

Exactly the kind of app that could be very useful from time to time. Unfortunately could not make it work on my HTC Touch Diamond with the official ROM (localized Windows).

I've tried the standard settings (COM4, 4800) that work everywhere else (Google Maps, Turbo GPS, GCz...) - it appears to "connect" but stays at "0 satellites". Tried other COM ports and those give an error right upon connecting, so I'm sure my settings are correct, not sure what the problem is though?

As for the program itself, I like it's minimalistic GUI and easy to use configuration dialog. The graphics could be improved - all the icons look pixelated on VGA screens - but that's not a big deal. From a usability point of view, I think the "are you sure" prompt on exiting is really unnecessary and you should probably get rid of it - even more so when the app can be shut down by clicking 'OK' in the top right corner - with no prompt whatsoever. It would also be nice if the splash screen could be disabled in the app settings.

Anyway, just my €0.02 ;) Hopefully you'll be able to figure out the problems that many of us HTC owners have reported. Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] n4p1:

Same here . It does not work on HTC Touch CDMA. Everything else (google amp, msn map, TOMTOM) using internal GPS ( I have activated by cracking) except this one. I have tried every single port. When I turn on the GPS, it just searches but no result. Maybe need a virtual com?

To all you guys who can't make it work.. How long do you wait for the GPS lock? Sometimes my iGO doesn't find any satellites right away, so I just let it on the window frame for a while and when I get back I find it locked. Did the same with this program. Maybe it'll work.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Cheesy Dave:
Not working on my HD

Unfortunately I can't get this to work.

I have the excellent "GPS Test" from Chartcross that quickly scans your device for a GPS and then connects - all the time showing progress and (importantly) where it finds the GPS.

On my HD this was Com 4 at 9600 baud.

So, I tried in "GPS Location" to set the settings to 9600. It already was on Com 4 so left that alone. No joy - it just sits there with 0 satellites - 10 minutes was enough (GPS Test found the GPS and satellites in about 45 seconds).

Sorry, I would like to use this but it needs a quick location fix. I'll wait for another version.

GPS Location & Kaiser (TyTN II)

Hi

I did some searches and I do not see any reference to whether GPS Location works on a Kaiser (TyTN II)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] highway:
Well first of all I'm happy you liked the app. Sorry for my delay on answering your messages but I was longer away.

This seems to be the biggest problem. I developed it on my HTC TyTN II and a friend of mine tested it on an Omnia and it works on both with no problem. But many of you have problems. This version reads directly the COM Port where the GPS data arrives.

I will release a new version that will also use the "Microsoft GPS Intermediate Driver" (you can choose it in options) and hopefuly this will solve the problem.

I didn't implement it in the first version beacuse this driver only exists on WM5.0 and later devices and I thought the other solution would work on everyone.

@JoOoSs This is my weak point. Was never so good with graphics. I developed it for qvga and on wide screens it moves the bottom bar to the bottom when loading the app.

On VGA devices it just stretches the graphics and perhaps it's not so good. I'll have a look on it.

xmmmm... thats a good idea but more difficult to implement. You need to download from the internet and it's a flash site, it's not just an image on the site. And I really don't know if it's so usefull beacuse you need a big image so one can see where you are and when it's converted to fit the size for an MMS then it will get unreadable. Perhaps is usefull for emails.

Not as it is. The app has to be loaded all the time and have stealth capabilities and so on. It's a totaly different approach. But there are already other freeware apps that do this.

Thats a good idea and not difficult to implement

Well the problem with pocket outlook is that when I use command line options to do this it mixes up the accounts. You want to send an email and it opens the sms account and so on. I think it opens the last choosen account before you last closed pocket outlook.

It works the way you want if you use Flexmail. But not everyone has it so I'll give it a second look. I think I can manage to do it. I also want this feature with Pocket Outlook.

A good idea. I'll have a look into it. I don't know how Google Maps works and if it can accept command line arguments.

The rendering is for QVGA,WQVGA, VGA and WVGA for now. Does it stretch it self to fit the display?

The problem with the GPS will be hopefuly solved with a new release.

It needs a different compilation for standard devices. And I will have to test it on one or the emulator.

But I would first like to solve all other problems.

I will add date and time to the sms. I don't remeber though if it goes over 160 chars.

Sheduled SMS? It's not a resident app. You have to have it open all the time.

Would you like it to send every 1 hour for example?

Yes it does. That's my phone also.

Feature suggestion: if you'd add an option which'd make the program go to an URL every given seconds (or minutes), one could easily write a website which'd get the data from the URL and store them. That way one would get Google Latitude functionality on his own server.

Implementation idea: field for URL input with variables, eg. %xpos% and %ypos%, URL example: http://example.com/gps_tracker/update_location.php?x=%xpos%&y=%ypos% (with xpos and ypos replaced with the current location by the program).
