MM Tracker problem on HTC One X with ICS

MapMan

Any news on the problem I have with the HOX? See post 342.

Once again - thank you for an otherwise superb app.

I wonder if I should sack ICS and "upgrade" to v2.2 :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] ayh20:
Mapman .... if any of us with an S3 can help in any way ... let us know
[Android Apps and Games] B3r3n:
Hi Michael,

On my side, the free version fails as well on a S3.

When I run it, it endlessly loops into the welcome page.

run -> Welcomepage -> click -> welcomepage -> ...

It's very frustrating, I was about to leave for a big hike and I'm stuck without electronic card. :-(

I did not tested the paid version since the free one does not work yet.

Can you help ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] ayh20:
Free version works perfectly on my S3 ..... maybe i'll try the paid version.
[Android Apps and Games] j.i.wilson:
Further to my post #342.

I was mistaken, it works perfectly on ICS on HTC One X.

Lack of knowledge of both MMT and Android

Sorry if this wasted anyone's time.

Can't believe how fast the GPS gets first fix.

One plea for additional features (it may be mentioned alreday).

How's about a facility to read TIFF or convert JPG to QCT?

Could bring an awful lot of mapping to the table!

Cheers and thanks again for a great program.

MM Tracker Version 1.10.4 available

Version 1.10.4 of MM Tracker is available.

Galaxy S3 issue is fixed

. Galaxy Notes user are welcome to test ;)

Because of known reasons the update is only available via AndroidPit.

Cheers, Michael
[Android Apps and Games] MadStu:
Awesome dude :) And I just received my sgs3 too!

I just purchased again on android pit, I won't ask for refund on google play because this is my most favourite app ever!
[Android Apps and Games] Moleshome:
Michael,

Many thanks, It's now working on my S3.

If I may make a few comments. These are very much based on first impressions and may have been mentioned previously.

Directory locations - Why does it allow me to select the external SD card for maps while Routes, Tracks and Waypoints are restricted to the internal memory?

Night mode - Selecting night mode initially appears to have no effect, it is only when the screen is repainted e.g. by scrolling off the current area that the newly visible area changes to night mode. The same thing happens in reverse where turning night mode off has no effect until a repaint occurs.

Visible map - When leaving the extents of one map and entering another map area it appears to require a manual step to load the next map. Being completely new to MM Tracker have I missed an option somewhere to auto load the next map?

Again, many thanks for what looks like a great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Soupe:
+1, more than happy to pay again for your fantastic support.

Thanks working great :-)
[Android Apps and Games] gadgetuk437:
Me 3

Just have to work out how to do it!

Androidpit is saying update is not possible,

you haven't purchased this app via the App Centre

(but probably via Google's Android Market)

I'm guessing I will have to uninstall the old version before it will let me download the new one... yes?

And now I find out I cant register (something seems to be broken at their end)
[Android Apps and Games] Moleshome:
One other thing that struck me, the option to display bearing in Mils.

Not all countries use the value of 6400 mils in a circle. Sweden use 6300 whereas Russia and Finland use 6000 but apparently Finland is moving to 6400.
[Android Apps and Games] tonyd_Holcombe:
Motorola Xoom

I am running MMTracker on a Motorola Xoom running ICS 4.0.4. All sems to be OK but I am having trouble selecting the directories.

I have installed my MMTracker directories on the MicroSD card which is seen by Xoom as /mnt/external1.

Map Directory is OK as the pick routine takes you to the root and I can navigate down to the card, but Track, Routes and Waypoints takes you to the directory /sdcard/ and I then can't navigate any higher up the structure to get back down to the MicroSD card

gnote ICS problem

Hello

I have upgrade my gnote to ICS, but there is a trouble. The S3 version will fix the problem with the gnote?

I've sent a message for download the new version

Doryphore
[Android Apps and Games] dosher:
I have just installed the latest ICS 4.0.4 XXLRG rom on my GNote and happy to report that MM Tracker v1.10.4 appears to be OK. Haven't fully field tested it yet but it's launching, loading maps and achieving GPS lock. I'm using directories on the internal sdcard.
[Android Apps and Games] Ydnaroo:
MM Tracker on Nexus 7?

I've got MM Tracker on my Motorola Defy+ and it's fantastic. I've just got my hands on a Nexus 7 and would like to get MM Tracker on that. Can this app be configured to work on devices without an SD Card with the maps installed on the internal memory?
[Android Apps and Games] frumpy:
Yes. Mine works fine on Nexus, no issues whatsoever.
[Android Apps and Games] doryphore:
Hello

I've made a long trip with my gnote and I confirm that there's no trouble. It works perfectly

I've the version of Google play

Doryphore
[Android Apps and Games] Ydnaroo:
Thanks both for your replies. I've now just got to figure out how to download from Andropit. :( I select download for the free trial version and all I get is a webpage with the MM Tracker icon and a green tick. If I try with a PC I get page unavailable when I click download. :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] nhope:
nexus 7 jelly bean

Hi ime thinkinging of getting the nexus 7 can anyone verify that tracker works ok on jelly bean

cherrs norman
[Android Apps and Games] Ydnaroo:
Yep, the paid for version seems to work fine on the Nexus 7 with JB v4.1.1, at least as far as loading maps, moving about and zooming etc. I have not tried all the available functions but it's looking good. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] Searcher3:
I have just looked on here to find out why my MM Tracker hasn't updated and just got up to date with it all. I see the offer to get a refund on Google Play has expired. I am not too bothered at the moment as MM Tracker seems to operate fine and am happy to wait until it gets back onto Google Play if this is actually going to happen. Is it just a matter of time or may it never happen? I guess my concern is that when I change device I can't transfer it but as others have mentioned I could buy it again. At least it's still available as it is indeed an excellent app.
[Android Apps and Games] frumpy:
If you have paid for the app I think you could look at backing up the app to an apk using Titanium Backup, and use that apk to install on your new device.
[Android Apps and Games] streety66:
Hi, I purchased MM Tracker in April and found it to be brilliant.

However, I tried to use it a few days ago on my Galaxy Note ICS (I don't think I had used it since upgrading to ICS a few weeks ago) and the app would not start.

Tried rebooting the phone etc. no joy - then uninstalled the app with the intention of re-installing via Play Store - oh dear, as most of you know, the app is not there any more.

Found the info regarding AndroidPit, but I don't want to have to pay for the app again especially as I have seen the note about refunds expiring after 15th July (my problem occurred after the 15th July so why should I be penalised?)

I have emailed Michael with proof of purchase but with no response so far - maybe he's on holiday for the last week.

Should I a) reinstall from AndroidPit in the hope I get a refund b) wait for the app to return to Play Store c) give Michael another week to respond to my email or d) put it down to experience and move on.

Cheers.

Paul.
[Android Apps and Games] SSThing:
I too want to update to the latest version but cant because its no longer on Play. As much as I like the app I really dont wish to( and have NO intention of) registering my credit cards with AndroidPit just to get this one application again. Surely there can be a better way of doing this?
[Android Apps and Games] nhope:
Androidpit also accepts paypal

[Android Apps and Games] frumpy:
Hi Map Man

back in April 2011 we talked about adding functionality to calculate total climb & descent on a track. I'm still waiting patiently but it would be good to know where this is on the priority list.

thanks

Ive uninstalled MMTracker 1.10.3 from my Galaxy S2 because it's not working properly and I want to install 1.10.4. But when I log onto AndroidPit and go to MM Tracker it gives me the option to 'uninstall' (which it is already!) whereas I want the option to 'install'. How can I install 1.10.4?
[Android Apps and Games] pinsb:
Is there anywhere else to get this other then Andropit?

I don't like the permissions it's app wants, I won't use credit card on it's site and I don't have a Paypal account.

I just want to get the free version to test first.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi pinsb,

to make things more easy i attached the current version of MM Tracker FREE (1.0.20)

View attachment MMTrackerFREE.apk

Best regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] Matrix Mike:
Now that the paid for version has gone from AndroidPit how do I get the apk to re-install on my new phone ?
[Android Apps and Games] jedbartlet:
I hadn't noticed that. Timing. :( I've only just paid again for MM Tracker on AndroidPit as I figured another £5 was worth it if it encouraged further development. I hope further updates appear somewhere even if Michael has to host it himself.
[Android Apps and Games] SSThing:
Map Man,

I really do think you need to find a way for those of us that have already paid for the app to access updates, especially now that it has been removed from both Play and `Pit. Your original suggestion to repay then apply for a refund may have been acceptable by some folk but certainly not by myself and no doubt many others.

Will you please post your intentions?

Thanks

SST
[Android Apps and Games] Soupe:
Hi Michael

Thanks for your reply,

When dragging a map around & get to a map end the next one doesn't auto load. Sorry I hadn't realised it does whilst navigating - great

Quilting (I think is the correct term) would be a great option to auto open larger scale maps as you zoom in, quicker to operate but would need to be a switchable option as it's not always desired.

Thanks

Sean
[Android Apps and Games] desper8dan:
Great app... thanks so much.

However, I have a problem...

I upgraded to froyo (Samsung Galaxy S, unbranded UK) and the name of my external sd card has been changed - MM tracker now cant see the invalid path (obviously) but there is no way to browse to the correct path. I have the paid version.

path was originally:

/sdcard/sd/MM_maps/

And following froyo update:

/sdcard/external_sd/MM_maps/

All I get when I try to set path in settings is a line

/sdcard/sd/MM_maps/

Which I cannot click on. Some kind of reset should do it? Any config to edit?

Also on another issue, prior to upgrading, I tried to "back up" the app using Astro - however mm tracker was the only app without a checkbox (said private). Any reason for this?
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hello desper8dan,

good finding ;)

I also discovered this bug and fixed it for the next (not yet released) version.

You can solve it for now by erasing your user-config with Android Settings->Applications.

This will reset all your setting for MM Tracker including the pathes.

Sorry regarding this issue i have no information. Is it maybe because of the Android Market copy protection ? No clue....

Best regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi,

I recently created a spinoff from 'MM Tracker' which is called 'MM Tracker 16'.

This version is able to run under Android 1.6 as many user requested this.

But as the API of 1.6 does not support all fetaures of 2.1 i had to sacrifice the

usage of volume buttons for zooming feature.

The free version of MM Tracker is now Android 1.6 compatible too.

Furthermore i could only test with the SDK emulator that 'MM Tracker 16'

does run properly under 1.6 environment.

So if someone runs 'MM Tracker FREE' or 'MM Tracker 16' on an Android 1.6

device, feedback would be very much appreciated.

Thank you and best regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] ghorne:
Excellent app, working nicely on a HTC Desire and ZTE Blade, bought the paid version as soon as I'd tested the free one, good to be able to access my memory maps again, that was one of the things I missed when I gave up on windows mobile. Recorded a good, accurate track of my drive to work, overlaid on the OS 1:50 000 map.

Don't know if its possible but a landscape format option would be nice in the future, plus an option to hide the on screen zoom buttons (the minus/zoom out button looks a bit like an aerodrome when its loaded with CAA aviation charts!) and just use the volume controls for this would be good.

Not had the opportunity to take it flying yet but I'll be interested to see how it performs.
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi ghorne,

hope you don't try to land on the minus-button ;)

I will add the option to hide the zoom buttons whith one of the next releases.

As the settings dialog is a little bit crowded by this time it needs a freshup anyhow.

Landscape would be a nice option too. I was thinking about it some time ago,

but somehow forgot about it... i will put it on the feature list.

Thanks for your suggestions and feedback

Regards, Michael
[Android Apps and Games] gadgetuk437:
Huzzah! I will be going Android in a few months (when my HD2 contract expires), so this is great news. Does anyone know a good Android build, for the HD2, that will play nice with MM Tracker? I wanna give this a shot.

My MM_T Wishlist (in order of priority);

Download of routes/marks/tracks

Metric units and British National Grid

Navigate to waypoint/mark

Create marks

Compass

Night colours

Elevation profiles

========

EDIT

========

Just seen the changelog at http://mitglied.multimania.de/mmtracker/ ,this is just getting better and better!
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi gadgetuk437,

got some remarks to your list:

Download of routes/marks/tracks -> Download from where ? Currently GPX import of tracks/routes/marks is possible

Metric units and British National Grid -> errr.. metric units ? Should be already implemented. OS grid is planned

Navigate to waypoint/mark -> alread implemented in latest version

Create marks -> currently implementing this

Compass -> Put on list ...

Night colours -> ... this too

Elevation profiles -> already (at the end) of the list. As this needs some QED-file reverse engineering

Please have a look at the new page:

https://sites.google.com/site/mmtrackerinfo/ which has the benefit of not having so much ads and is more up to date. (the old one will be discontinued)

Best regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] franktompson:
Michael,

My own preferences within your upgrade list would be (in order):

* Ability to switch to landscape mode

* Display a compass

* Pinch Zoom

* Implement search-function basing on MMI files

* Improve the track/routes data view

I would also like the direction arrow replaced by a single line, visible on all scales of view, as per the MemoryMap Windows Mobile operation. The blue arrow is very difficult to see, and only displays (at least on the Samsung Galaxy S) on large scale. imho direction of travel is one of the most important features to assist in not getting lost!

With thanks,

FT
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi Frank,

i think you pointed out some important features. Actually landscape mode will

be part of one of the next releases. Currently i am working on overlay management

and will release this hopefully this week.

In the following release i will focus on the MMI search function and maybe

portrait mode and improved data view will be part of it.

If you have problems with the directional arrow maybe you did miss the option

'Show speed vector' ? This option allows you to define the speed vector length

by defining the time it should estimate your future position. For a normal walking

speed this should be set to at least 1 minute.

I added the option for an infinite length arrow to the todo list.

Regards,

Michael

Seems to be working OK on my HD2. Running [BUILD]UPD(20.11.2010)MCCM SE V3.3(FroyoStone Sense) [kernel Hastarin r8.4] on top of Energy ROM nov 13.
[Android Apps and Games] Soupe:
Thanks Michael love the new features, very intuitive!
[Android Apps and Games] s1lang:
Thank you

Just purchased :)
[Android Apps and Games] freeflyer:
bought this app a couple of weeks ago and used it on a walk on tuesday.. loved it ! Much better than memory map in my opinion for various reasons, and i loved the speed vector setting ability for the direction arrow. The only downside is that this isnt a complete standalone app, ie you need memory map on your PC to get the best use out of it. But overall, its great ! thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] ghorne:
Just downloaded the update - thanks for the 'hide on screen buttons' options, very useful. Took it flying last week and although I didn't have time to look t it whilst airborne I'd got a nice track of my route overlaid on the CAA map when I landed. Just what I wanted!

Gareth
[Android Apps and Games] ghorne:
By the way My ZTE blade is running android 2.1 (MoDaCo r4) if you want to add that to your compatibility list
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi freeflyer

by not complete standalone you mean the missing ability to create a route ? Or is there anything else you miss ?

Regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] gadgetuk437:
Will you post the updates here please?

I wasn't aware of the update to v.1.2.1

I suscribe to this thread to keep up with development.

from, https://sites.google.com/site/mmtrackerinfo/

NEW: Update to 1.2.1

- Selected tracks,routes,waypoints are directly displayed in overlay manager window

NEW: Update to 1.2.0

- Feature Added: Overlay Manager

- Feature Added: Waypoints can be created

- Zoombuttons can be hided

- Lots of minor improvements and fixes

Also, can I make a donation? Paypal?

I have already bought the app, but I think you deserve more!
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
good point.

i will post the current releases/status more systematically, to keep thread subscribers informed.

But just for my inormation: Did Android Market inform you about the update ?

As i have currently no PayPal account maybe it is time to think about getting one ;)

I will post this info too.

Regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] gadgetuk437:
Sorry, don't know. I haven't run Android on my HD2 for a while. I'm just dipping my toe in the water with Android, to get the feel for it. I will be switching from WinMo in a year or so. I just wanted to make sure I had a copy of your app before MemoryMap and the Ordinance Survey got all pissy with you and stopped your fun.
[Android Apps and Games] Matrix Mike:
I was happy to pay again (and was refunded on play) but as I use the app a lot and change Phones often I would welcome a way of re-installing. I also recommended it to several friends who now feel badly treated.
[Android Apps and Games] ghorne:
Another Galaxy Note owner that has just upgraded to ICS & found out the installed version MM Tracker (1.10.3) no longer functions, came her looking for the update only to find its no longer available from either source :(

Nearly 2 years since I bought the original paid version, shame if its finally come to an end..
[Android Apps and Games] Matrix Mike:
I have version 1.10.4 on my Note
[Android Apps and Games] IanCC:
I 9300

Just upgraded from SGS 1 to SGS 3.:p

I appreciate the problems our hero MapMan has been having, and see that the APK has now been removed from Android Pit. Is the issue any closer to being resolved? I really hope so, it'd be criminal if it's not!!

Meantime, could anyone send me the 1.10.4 APK? Please! :)
[Android Apps and Games] Zigtek:
Yet another person looking for the paid for version of MM Tracker...

I bought it twice now and each time it has been removed from the source with not so much as a by your leave.

What is happening ???
[Android Apps and Games] fuzzweed:
Hi also have a paid for 1.10.3, but not working on my new samsung s2. anyone able to pm a copy of 1.10.4 ?
[Android Apps and Games] ayh20:
So what's the current story with MMTracker ? Is it dead ? Or just looking for a new home ? I was really surprised to find it had gone from AndroidPit :(
[Android Apps and Games] kingfu:
shame
[Android Apps and Games] j.i.wilson:
I know there is one about. Not sure where to source it though. Someone must know.

As to mm tracker itself. The author has lost all goodwill by just going silent on this. The least that could be done would be to let us know it is indeed dead. If it is?

It's not as if MemoryMap is any good, what a load of #%&*?

Not good.
[Android Apps and Games] kingfu:
The official memory map app sucks ass. I love it how they have the cheek to also charge you £15 just to view the maps you've already brought for £100's....forgetting the fact if you're a UK taxpayer you've already paid for the maps to be made via OS. Memory map itself produces the worst software I've ever seen, amazing nobody has come along and put them out of business yet. Guess that's why they got the dogs out for the mm tracker guy...show's what a bunch of jokers they really are.
[Android Apps and Games] j.i.wilson:
Just a little point about OS Mapping, off topic - but related.

"forgetting the fact if you're a UK taxpayer you've already paid for the maps to be made via OS."

Not true. OS have been completely self financing since at least the early 90's if not earlier. No taxpayers money has been used since then.

This means all the revisions, digitising and maintenance has been done with no burden on the taxpayer.

In fact, OS has returned quite significant sums to the Exchequer over that period.

And, finally, this is Government Policy, not OS.

And, again finally, don't forget that the maps are supplied in a none OS format. So someone has to process the original data as well as make the investment in the first place.

And yes - I did work for OS, 41 years man and boy. Retired 2008. Specialised in GPS and Survey.

And, MemoryMap does indeed suck!!
[Android Apps and Games] Ajdnet:
I notice that Map Man has taken the reference to AndroidPit off his web page, but no further info regarding future developments.

Address: (can't post as link) "https://sites.google.com/site/mmtrackerinfo/"
[Android Apps and Games] grogan197:
Odd that there is no update other than removing the AndroidPit link.

Such a shame this seems to have died. It's still my favourite Android app but I wonder how long it will continue to work without development to update it to new phones / android versions.

MapMan should release it open source if he's no longer interested in developing it as a final f**k you to Memory Map for all the hassle. Plus we'd still get the use of a great app!
[Android Apps and Games] Ajdnet:
Agreed. This is my most used app, and I would hate to be without it. Alpinequest is the only alternative app that I'm aware of that can also read QCT maps on Android, but I much prefer MM Tracker. I am thinking of getting the Nexus 4 next week, but with Android 4.2 I am worried about compatibility and was planning to put a question on this forum for any nexus user to try it and let us know if it still works on 4.2. Otherwise, I might have to stump up an extra £120 and get the Samsung Galaxy S3, which I know it works on. Thats a lot extra for 1 app.
[Android Apps and Games] gadgetuk437:
Working fine on 4.1.1 on my Note 2, if that is any help.
[Android Apps and Games] MGTF:
Works great on my galaxy tab 2 10.1

Had to download APK in order to installs it, programme has been withdrawn as mentioned elsewhere.
