Haha yea. It's a camera on a phone... My DSLR is in it's nice cushy case. My phone will reside, albeit tightly, in my pocket. :D
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
I put mine in my pocket up until today, when I got my HTC leather hip case. I got tired of the pocket lint getting in the earpiece grill.

Tip: use Scotch tape and a blunt tipped object to get the lint out of there.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
I've never used one of those before. I always feel like there's a risk of it falling out. Are they pretty secure?
[EVO 4G General] Jye75:
It's nice and snug. There's a hole on the bottom for your fingers to push the phone up to take it out. Magnetic flap, no metal button or anything, so no worries about phantom scratches. Stays close to the hip as well, and doesn't feel oversized or anything. Tight enough on the belt that I don't worry about it falling off.
[EVO 4G General] ViViDboarder:
Cool. I'll definitely check that out then. Thanks.

The one I have is from Sprint online: Part Number CFH2258R
[EVO 4G General] Impulses:
I got a case for mine simply because I've dropped my iPod touch a few times and I'm pretty sure it'd be damaged by now if it didn't have a silicon skin, the EVO's camera worried me as well... The silicon skin Sprint sells seems a lil' bulkier than it has to be tho, and the button bumps aren't as defined as they could be (my iPod touch's skin actually made the buttons easier to press, quite the opposite here). I'm waiting for a different more glossy/smooth skin from Amzer to ship before I decide if I'll just go naked or what...

i found cameraphone lens protector circles at a store called daiso near by me. works great
[EVO 4G General] FunYunZ:
Step 1: Fold a piece of paper, half a sheet, or whatever.

Step 2: Lay said phone on piece of paper.

Results: no scratches, marks, anything else yet.
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
post a link, product name, upc barcode, store website link.... something! hah

i have a hip case but i take mine out and lay it on the counter,desk so scratches to the lense will happen so if i can reduce the amount of scratches since the back cover doesnt cover like on my tilt. a scratched/dirty lense sux and $100 to replace the phone isnt an option.

hopefully someone has like gel or rubber bottle cap type product.

Important: Uninstall previous versions and DELETE any map previously downloaded with Litetrack, they're not compatible with v0.7.

Saved tracks and POIs are still compatible.

what's new in 0.7 version:

- No more tiles' limit in map's download.

- Map is saved as a single file, to save space in your SD

- User's location added to Track viewer, to walkback even without map

- New scrolling system

- Bugs fixed, all regional settings (should be) supported

- Mobile Cells localization and caching

About Cells localization: even without GPS you will have an idea about your location. This feature can be enabled or disabled from settings. How it works: any new phone cell encountered is added to the app database; if online, also cell's location is obtained and added to database. (*)Cells' locations can even be added later (menu -> tools -> Update). Once the cells are registered with their locations can be used offline also.

* This means you'll be free to go around and around staying offline, LiteTrack still collects info about phone cells encountered (but don't forget to enable it from settings). Once at home, turn online and update the database, all the cells previously collected are now ready to be displayed on the map and used offline. In other words, you will have your personal database of mobile cells!

-------------------------

LiteTrack is the right tool to record your route, save off-road paths, retrace a journey, obtain detailed gps data, or simply get your position on the map. All staying offline!

UI attractive, finger friendly, real full-screen usage.

Features (what you can do with LiteTrack):

- Display your position on the map

- Download maps from OpenStreetMap sources directly to your device

- Track your routes, also off-road, and save them to files

- Obtain track's statistics, also in realtime

- Append new tracks to existing track files

- View tracks in a separate context (Track Viewer)

- Export tracks to GPX and KML

- Save your current position as a new POI

- Attach comment and picture to your POIs

- Import tracks and POIs on the selected map

- Get detailed GPS info (lon, lat, alt, speed, heading, DOP, hDOP, vDOP and more)

- Display charts about satellites detected

- Obtain specific data about each satellite (id, azimuth, elevation, signal strength)

- Gadgets feature: get weather forecast, compass, clock and system monitor

- Mobile Cells localization and caching

Requirements: WM 5, 6, 6.1 or 6.5, touchscreen with VGA or WVGA resolution (640x480 or higher), .NET CF 3.5

Hope you enjoy all the new stuff!

If you like this app please consider to eur, or usd, the amount you prefer. Thank you!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Romeo Fox:
Hello Xdaid,

Unfortunately I'm not able to use this jewel on my HD2 for several raisons:

- the zoom level is limited (only one level) therefore to select the area for downloading the map is impossible; the range selected is too wide, therefore I've a message "out of the range" or "latitude S cannot be lower than latitude N" even if I change it manually :(

I've tried to select area from top left to bottom right or vis versa but same result.

I really need this kind of soft for off-road tracks in the beautiful desert of UAE :D

Can you help on this issue?

Thanks and regards,

Renaud
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karthiksk:
Neat! Will Try!

Will give this piece of software a work out, meanwhile is it capable of GSM triangulation? If not is it coming anytime soon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] malavan:
very nice idea but it doesn't work on htchd2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdkinc:
No luck with Omnia2 i920 version.

GPS "on" leads to "error page" ,press details program shuts down.

I tried soft reset.

Started "Bing" first to get GPS working. no luck

soft reset no "Bing",no luck.

Looks like a nice and easy to use program.

Thanks for the efforts.

:cool::cool:

It is working with TP2.

WM 6.5.3
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
To Romeo Fox

Consider that

1) max size is 1000 tiles per map, in respect of OpenStreetMap rules.

2) at first launch of LiteTrack you have a global map, not detailed at all.

Well, to get detailed maps of towns and small areas follow these steps:

1) take an area from default map (e.g. your country or state) and download.

2) open the map just downloaded, select the area you're interested and download again. You will have more zoom options now.

Hope this help.

To HD2 users

I'm getting opposite feedbacks, there are hd2 users saying it works, and other saying it doesn't. I'll try to find the point and solve any issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Looks great xdaid. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Romeo Fox:
Hello xdaid,

bad luck for me. whatever i select as area (trying france for exemple) i've got error message on preview selection.

Anyway, i will follow your news as this soft is exactly what i'm looking for since longtime:)

Congrats for job done so far.

Renaud

Ps: official rom 1.66 on hd2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
Renaud, the issue you encountered, almost sure, is related to the mouse pointer on capacitive screen. That's the reason you can't get the right coords when you select the area to download.

It would be helpful for me if you:

1) type manually into wizard's boxes the values

1 (W), 2 (E), 2 (N), 1 (S)

choose first zoom level available and let me know if download starts.

It should start.

2) draw a rectangle around France an let me know what values you read into

the wizard's boxes

Since i tested my app on resistive-screen devices only (ouch!) these info will help me to fix the issue.

regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andreatozzi:
great app, but unfortunately my device is qvga.. i hope you realease a qvga version too

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Romeo Fox:
Hello xdaid,

First of all thanks for your support.

I've captured the coords manually for France as followed:

left (W): 4.2904

Right (E): 6.0704

Top (N): 48.2904

Bottom (S): 43.4005

Zoom level cannot be selected (grey square) and when i'm clicking on preview I still get the message "values out of range".

If i select the area through your tool i've got:

left (W): -2.8125

Right (E): 6.3281

Top (N): 50.15625

Bottom (S): 43.359375

Result is the "latitude-S cannot be lower than latitude-N" as message error.

I still cannot select zoom level as well.

Others infos:

map name> i leave it empty

outpout> none

source>openstreetmap

Hope it will help you.

Oh yeah +1 for a qvga version :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
To Romeo Fox and other users who get "out of range" message

i found the issue, it looks really WEIRD

the problem is the conversion of text boxes' values into numeric floating values, weird cause the code appear to be right, and mostly cause my device, other devices i tested and wm 6.5 emulator work flawless.

I'll be fix it really soon, in the meanwhile try this:

select an area (France :D), tap OK and then simply replace the characters '.' into the boxes (top, left, right, bottom) with the character ','

Let me know, but i'm pretty sure this works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
ver 0.2 - fixed!

I made some changes which should have solved issues encountered on hd2 and a couple of other devices:

- GPS handler fixed

- Map selection tool now working propely

Also app was succesfully tested on VGA square screen

Hope you enjoy!

waiting for some feedbacks, thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Romeo Fox:
Hello xdaid,

tested new version. Download works now!! but only on wifi and not in 3G. There is a bug on saving track which generate error and close litetrack without saving it.

This is quite annoying. Otherwise others features and options seem working..

I'm only one to get this error on saving track?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
hi Renuad,

just a question, could it be you deleted your "\My Documents\" folder in the device's root?

This would generate a "Directory not found" error.

Anyway, i'm working on this lack too.

regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
On the HD2 everything works but not the Track functionality. When the GPS has a fixed position and I select: Track --> Start the application craches...

The error message is visible in the screenshots. Do you have any Idea ??

Thanks !

Perlian
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
Thanks for your reports

I fixed the bug on opening/closing track on HD2, now every feature should work well for all devices.

Below it's the new installer fixed (LiteTrack03Installer.CAB)

Hope you enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
Thanks for this version! Everything works ! I also used the following registry settings to allow the gps to keep on working when I use the powerbutton to shutdown the screen:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]

"gps0:"=dword:00000001

"gpd0:"=dword:00000001

"com4:"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended]

"gps0:"=dword:00000001

"gpd0:"=dword:00000001

"com4:"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Suspend]

"gps0:"=dword:00000001

"gpd0:"=dword:00000001

"com4:"=dword:00000001

With these settings I can start the Track, set the HTC HD2 in standbye and log everything without keeping the phone in my hand with an enabled screen.

nice !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
WOW nice!

The registry settings you posted are really really useful

keeping the gps on in standby time too... awesome! i'll add this option to the app, thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
Perhaps an other usefull function for Litetrack: The total distance of the track and you also have the total time (end minus begin) you can also calculate the average speed ....

Using the track-log I created a script (written in Perl) on my local machine to calculate the total distance using the log-file. For the calculation I used:

http://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html

It would be nice if you would implement this in the 0.4 version !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fabiolo73:
me too!! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Romeo Fox:
works!

Hello Xdaid,

I've tried quickly your new version and now I'm able to save tracks :D very useful for the coming off road season :)

So, download maps works, track works it's coming a great and friendly user app (I like the simple way to get maps!; much better and faster than many similar software).

Thanks for all,

Renaud
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
Thank Perlian and Renaud for your advices, now LiteTrack works on all vga+ devices :)

for the next version (big update!):

- gpx capability

- tracks's distance and other new stats

- option to keep tracking during standby time (thx to Perlian)

- fix to make the app compatible with all kind of soft keyboards

Currently i'm travelling so i will need a bit time more (about a mounth),

stay tuned!

regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
Is there a 0.4 version coming ? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
nice question!

due to the massive re-coding and the new features, probably you will have not a 0.4 but a 0.5 version!

What's new:

1) All compatibility issues should be solved (new gps handler)

2) All soft keyboards supported

3) Bug fix in maps' download process

3) Option to keep LiteTrack & GPS working during standby / sleep mode

4) A whole set of track's statistics added, available also in realtime:

covered distance - duration (time) - top speed -

average speed - top altitude - lowest altitude

5) New enhanced file dialogs

And hopefully:

6) Air distance calculator (two point distance)

7) Send your position by SMS feature

All the five points above were done, it's testing time. If last two points will not be time expensive, i will include them too in the next realase --> more and less a couple of days.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] williamfold:
Sounds good!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
Nice !

Perhaps an other feature is to set an interval to switch the gps off/on to save battery power. I know that there are a few gps trackers that do that. During walking you don't cover that much distance in say 1 minute so a gps fix will also be very quick ...

Something like this:

1) Get fix --> log data

2) sleep 60 seconds

3) Get fix --> log data

4) sleep 60 seconds

5) ...etc ....

If the sleeptimes could be variabel that would be great !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
@Perlian

i was wondering over the feature you ask for.. maybe i'm wrong, but i have some doubts:

GPS device takes a bit of time to get GOOD data, so that feature makes sense if you switch gps every 5 minutes, for example.

Gps on -> wait good data -> log data -> gps off -> wait 5 min -> Gps on.. and so..

But, what happens if you perform this every 30 or 60 seconds?

Probably the GPS device, once turned on, will burn that time to get a good data.

It looks like if you switch GPS off and then turn it on in a short time, GPS has fix really soon, but the data passed is not reliable.

I will look forward for a solution, however, hard to include this feature in the incoming version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
@Perlian

Forgot what i said, you will find that feature too in the incoming version :)

And also:

By default LiteTrack will keep tracking during stanby / sleep mode, this option is automatically activated once you turn gps on (and deactivated when you turn it off).

The new feature will work either in awake and sleep mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
This is really nice !!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I would also love a WQVGA version, i am using GPSed currently but would love to use your application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
Biggest update for LiteTrack :)

news and cab at first post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
And, sorry Claus

I still don't know whether or not a qvga version will be available
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Quickly read the thread after seeing the article on portal... good job!

And big PROPS @Perlian for finding registry keys to keep the GPS awake in standby, there was a thread in the hd2 forums for this but it's dead, I should go there and advise the news for the subscribers ;)

The way I used GPS in "standby" was to simply associate longpress sendkey to "turn off monitor", so the GPS is still awake since the device is not really in standby, but I wouldn't know if Perlian's method is better on the battery.

BTW, @xdaid, did you include those reg keys Perlian posted inside the features of this program?

Anyway, I know comparisons may be taken well or not well... yet, as an "old" user of NaviComputer (I just now discovered litetrack), this app seems quite overlapping to that one, being the immediate differences I can think of:

1) Navicomputer has a nice PC based downloader which is obviously more comfortable to use

2) Litetrack can send sms and save pictures

Am I missing something? Or, how would you, the developer, compare Navicomputer and Litetrack?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
hi ephestione

Actually LiteTrack is not using registry settings to keep tracking during "sleep" state (but many thanks to Perlian for the idea), power for gps and some application processes is obtained via p/invoke, this is a better way i think since the registry is not affected in any way.

What LiteTrack does is not simply turning off the screen, instead it puts the device in unattended mode and keep just few processes alive to save as much power as possible.

I will not effectively compare the apps, i can say Navicomputer is an amazing one, i like it too. Easy to use, well-coded.

I discovered Navicomputer when my app was already released for the first time, so i get no "inspiration" from it, but yes, there are many similar stuff that either Navicomputer and LiteTrack do.

At the beginning my app born from my need to track paths into fully customized maps, in other words, i had to print tracks over pictures of maps (the "map from file" feature).

Then gadgets and system monitor (cpu, mem, power), "track viewer", POI + picture, distance calculator, SMS and track's statistics features were added.

These are the things which differs from Navicomputer.

Thanks for your comment and let me know about your experience with LiteTrack.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Perlian:
WOW three (!) thumbs up for you ! :D

I will try it this evening when I drive home from work ...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I already added this thread into my subscribes, and I will test it with my HD2 as soon as I get a little time off my lazyness :D

What it seems superior to me about is the "track in standby" feature, which navicomputer doesn't seem to sport as well, and which I value much, as I said the only way I could do that with NC is by just turning off the screen (but as soon as I turn screen back on, S2U2 kicks in, and for some reason the GPS is shut down, so I need to quickly unlock the device to make it fix asap, I hope this doesn't happen with litetrack)

I should/could compare the battery use between the two applications in standby and/or screen off, but that again, only when I get some time off from my lazyness ;);)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
I forgot to write something important:

If you already have a previous version installed DELETE the configuration file (LiteTrack.cfg - in \My Documents\LiteTrack) before using this new one.

Thanks!

Maybe, is your device a Samsung with mouse-pad? Or, are you using any mouse pointer (arrow, etc) on your device?

I suspect the issue you have could be related to the mouse pointer.

Can't load new maps (help needed)

Hello,

I'm :confused:

I'm trying to load a new map but I get the error message "field empty or invalid input". In the Download Map Wizard is just enter a name for the map and click "Start" ("Zoom Level" and "Output" fields are grayed out).

I work with a HTC HD2 (europe version). From reading this thread I feel that it should work.

I must be missing something but what ... :confused: :o

Does someone have an idea ? Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdaid:
The issue you have is related to the regional settings of your device.

LiteTrack (so far) doesn't like some languages and styles; french, hungarian and few others.. sorry for that! However, i already fixed this bug and soon you'll get the next version working.

If you can't wait the new version, well, turn your regional settings into U.S. for a while, launch the app, it will work :)

A little introduction to the new version - v0.7

Now LiteTrack is powered with SQLite, that means:

- No more tiles limit, you can download maps with the size you prefer.

- No more tons of small files in your SD, each map is saved as a unique file.

then:

- Many bugs have been fixed, and download process improved.

- Map's scrolling will work in a different manner, a bit better.

I'm also working on other stuff.. few days, maybe a week, then all should be ready
