Thanks for the reply, I agree that it could look better as I'm not exactly handy with making it look great either.. :o

When I get a chance I'll look up on how to enable skinning in an app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shawn_230:
Thanks a lot, that would rock. Even if I could just replace the waypoint and tracking on/off buttons with something nice and transparent I'd be happy.

I changed the icon already, to this one. Hopefully it's okay to post it on here:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shawn_230:
Hey mate, been trying your great program some more and I've noticed some stuff.

Something positive, I can't believe how quickly this program acquires a GPS fix! I park my car a few stories below ground level, and literally as soon as I drive out onto the street the speedo is up and going. Even iGO by comparison takes ages to get a fix, hdSpeedo is virtually instant - I don't know how you've done this but it's really great not having to wait on the side of the road for a signal.

Something negative, the tracking seems to be hit or miss? You can see in the picture that it cuts out major chunks, which is strange because I know during those blackout areas the speedo readout was still working fine. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Ta for the feedback.

If the speedo was still working, then it should be logging the points..

Could you send me the kml file and I'll have a look at it?

cheers,

Paul.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shawn_230:
I just flashed my Leo so the files got deleted, I'll do another later and upload it here. It always cuts out so shouldn't be too hard to reproduce.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Any update on the logging files.

I have thought of one thing, are the tracks where it dissapears below ground level at all? I wonder if it's Google maps not showing the track when it's below it's ground altitude.

Cheers,

Paul.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shawn_230:
Hey, thanks for the followup.

I went out just now and tried it again. The problem just seems to be Google Earth... if I set it to maximum thickness then on certain zoom levels the track is complete and in one piece but on other zoom levels it isn't.

I can live with that I guess, but it's strange. I tried another program a while ago which put the tracks on Google Maps online and those didn't have the same issue. Any idea if I can somehow put the KML files onto Google Maps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
You can, If you host the file on the internet and then put the file location in the search box, Google Maps will plot the track.

At least I think that is how it works.. ;)

Paul, I have never developed for Windows Mobile and having seen your app, I want to start. Is the source avalible that I could take a look at?

Stephen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Stephen,

What part would you like to see.

For the GPS parsing I am using a Library from the opennetcf.

The rest is just plain old C#.

Cheers,

Paul.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] syale:
Paul, I have Visual Studio 2008 and the Windows Mobile SDK. Most of the development I have done in VS is BI (Business Intelligence) related with SQL server using VB.Net. I am trying to break into C#. If you would share the soultion I would be able to see how you achieved the fabulous work you have completed so far. I am interested in GPS applications, probably OCD :) and have the desire to try and achieve some things in order to give back to a community I have leeched from so far.

Stephen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Ok, Speed camera alerting is now out.

Attached are the new install and a list of speed cams to use. These are in Garmin CSV file format, (lng/lat/info). My app only uses the first two fields, so if you create your own files, please put anything into the third field.

Also if you get a incoming call, the app will minimise while it is active.

Stephen, I'm back in work on Friday and will sort you our some links to the various sites that I've utilised to make this application.

Ability to flip screen for hud?

ive been trying for a while and cant figure it out how to reverse the screen so it will work like a hud on the windscreen, how do you flip it to do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
The option is in the 3rd page of the options (Swipe up once and left three times). It only swaps the Speedo page over.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gvece:
Can this application record your top speed? I wanted to check to see how fast I can reach i.e. snowboarding, so I don't want to be looking at the screen at 40mph....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shawn_230:
I think for recording stuff like that RaceChrono might be more suitable. I don't recall but I'm pretty sure it does top speed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Should be easy enough.. I had it in the previous version of the App (GPSSpeedo) but took it out as I didn't think anyone used it.

I'll look in reimplement it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Latest version is out.

A few behind the scenes changes to try to make it less of a resource hog.

Added Journey logging and MAX speed logging.

The Max speed will display on the main window and swaps with the current AVE speed every 15 seconds.

** Note **

I have tidied up the /My Documents/hdSpeedo folder.

I have added two additional folders.

warnings - This is where the CSV files go for the speedcam warnings.

mapoutput - This is where the KML log files go

The Warning .wav file, the Settings XML file and the Journey stats .csv file remain in the root of this folder.

The Database folder remains as it is and contains the SQL CE database that holds the loaded speed camera locations.

Please let me know what you think of this application.

Cheers,

Paul.

I have the Energy rom installed (1st may) and i think it got som newer Compact Framework installed.

Tryed to instal v3.5 manualy but did not work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
I'm using Energy's ROMs and they do not include the SQL CE Framework.

Install the SQL CE from this cab

You might have to wait for the slicker interface as it's not my area of expertise... lol

I am working on trying to make it more uniform.. looking at making nice buttons etc..

Do you have any examples of buttons I can use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ross202:
I have an HTC HD2 and used hdSpeedo this morning on the way to work. Initially had the same pin error problem as mentioned previously but installing the SQL CAB solved that. When I started hdSpeedo this morning I didn't immediately get a GPS fixe - I live in a bit of a black spot for this type of thing - so Speedo must not have detected the inbuilt GPS so kept trying to open up the Bluetooth app to look for an external GPS. Every time I closed the Bluetooth it kept reopening it - with only something like a half second delay. I eventually opened up iGO8 and after it had locked onto a GPS signal I went back to hd Speedo and then it worked fine - no Blue tooth lookup. All of this is a rather long way of asking for an option to set internal/external GPS so it keeps looking for a signal until it finds it.

Very nice app - keep up the great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Strange as I have the HD and it just waits until it finds the internal GPS. Do you have a BT comm port set up as it might be trying to open that...

I'll have to do a bit of testing, so I'll report back here when done.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ross202:
Thanks for the prompt reply.

Don't think so - I haven't actually used any bkuetooth devices on my phone yet - Comm Manager shows BT is off. When Speedo can't find the signal the screen for turning on BT pops up.

Hello Ralphman,

nice app. A pity it doesn't work on te HTC leo. I get the next message after installing

the app en trying to start it. I get the next message even after a soft reset:

An unhandled exception occurd Kan PIvoke-DLL sqlceme35.dll niet vinden.

Well that seems abracadrabra for me but to know for you the app doesn't work on

the HTC Leo.

Greetings

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
Hi, you need to create CSV files with the Speed Cameras. They should be in the format

Longitude, Latitude, Description

The name of the CSV file will be used as the display name.

ie.. Gatso.CSV will display Gatso as the SC display.

I subscribe to PocketGPSWorld's Speed Camera database, but not sure what is available in the States.

For both of you, install the SQL CE from here, to stop the errors.

Cheers,

Paul.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MacGaiser:

Sorry for such a long delay getting back to you. I installed it and am getting that bluetooth question mentioned earlier. 'Unable to connect to bluetooth device. Make sure bluetooth is enabled, then try again.' but, after letting it do its thing back and forth a few times, it stops. I am testing indoors, but will give it a real go today. Will let you know how the bluetooth thing goes. I did change the com port to the one I know my GPS is on, will see how that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlyMaelstrom:
I'm sure glad this isn't a male version of hdWobble.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
So, I tried it, and I couldn't get a GPS lock, tried using Com4 which is what all my Bing and Google apps use, I tried Auto, different baud rates, but no luck getting a lock. I did get the bluetooth thing again, but after 3 or 4 notifications, it stopped.

I am running an HTC Imagio using an Energy ROM. Is there any detailed information you would like to see if a fix is worth pursuing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
I have the next version in test at the moment that fixes a small bug when you use the Com Port directly..

If you PM me your Email addy I'll send you the test version to try.

I've not had any issues with the auto setting so far.

Portrait Mode on HTC Pure

How do you switch to portrait mode? I would assume turing the phone so it's horizontal would do it, like other apps, but it doesn't work. I'm using a HTC Pure from AT&T.

On my Touch HD I have to add the application to the rotation list for ChangeScreen, the app I use for screen rotation.

I haven't got my WM device anymore, I defected to the A side..

Got myself a Desire and am currently programming a GPS Speedo for that.

Maybe at somepoint in the future I could have a look, but it's not going to be very soon I'm afraid.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v6hilux:
I got the same thing happening with Bluetooth message and stopping! Played with COM ports and Speeds, even though the app starts, it stays on 0. I can do Footprint images with GPS location stamp, but when running the Speedo app, it does not show any Lat, Long or Elevation.

I got a HTC HD2, Australian Telstra version.

I fixed the problem by going into the Phone's Windows settings; Settings - Menu - All Settings (Bottom of screen) - System - External GPS - Access Tab - Make sure "Manage GPS automatically" is ticked. I also got to see the Com Port was 4 and Baud was 4800 and set this in the Speedo App and it works great. You need to slide your finger Up across the screen to see the Apps settings to change if required.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v6hilux:
I also found I have to go into the phone Windows settings - Extrenal GPS - Hardware Tab - and assign a Port different to the Com port. I need to do this everytime I run the speedo program to get it to work again after the previous stop. I might be able to save the setting??????????, but I don't know how.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrRalphMan:
TBH it's been a while since I looked at this program, I've had a HTC Desire for almost a year now..

There should be something in the settings to allow you to choose the Com port to use.

From the main menu swipe down and you get to the settings level.

Let me know how it goes as I don't even have a WM phone to try this one anymore.

Paul.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v6hilux:
Just an update for those using this App with a HTC HD2, Win 6.5.

The latest version of hdSpeedo will not connect to the GPS in my HD2 to run the App unless I start an earlier version of a Speedo App named GPS Speedo and I can't remember where I got that from!

It seems the HD2 GPS "feed" to the hdSpeedo App is not connecting unless I connect to that "feed" with the older App.

Also, it would appear that once hdSpeedo is running for about 1 hour, my HD2 "locks-up" and requires the battery to be removed to clear the problem. Perhaps the generation of a KML file or something else gets too big for the memory or something!

I also realise I may need some education to drive this HD2, so if someone can assist, please feel free!

OH, MrRalphMan, as others have appreciated your past work, I do too. Well done in what you have provided us!

Thanks!

Try a different SIM, also if on contract phone up your carrier and request a new sim card you'd be suprised they do get naffed and the timing may just be a coincidence?

make sure that your phone is unlocked and try reflashing the ROM that's all I can think of.

Have you check out airplane mode is off? or the phone cellular radio on? That's on your comm manager options.

External Antenna??

Have you hooked it up to an external antenna lately? If you have, it may not be reconnecting to the internal antenna because of the adapter used.
[HTC Excalibur] skyline247:
Ditto. The first 2 Dash's I had went through this same problem. I used an external antenna and adapter when I was back home. Both of them stopped receiving signal. I thought it might be the ROM, so I reflashed the original T-Mo Rom, but to no avail. I even flashed other ROM'S from this site, and that didn't work. Finally after returning 2 devices, I finally figured it out that it must be the antenna. (although on the 3rd Dash the power button stopped working,so T-Mo swapped it out for a BlackBerry)

I urge you, if you can, DON'T use an external antenna. If you must, use very carefully, and avoid hitting underlying circuitry when plugging/unplugging the adapter. I think thats what happened to mine.

I am not saying you are using an antenna, it just sounded so similar to my prior problem. The only thing I can tell you, if reflashing doesn't work, call up your provider and ask for a replacement. If you don't have a provider, through whom you have means of replacement, I would check if internal antenna or radio circuitry is still good.

Good luck. Let us know outcome.
