MMT_2020

You are an absolute genius! Thank you so much for the updates you have provided in getting to 1.22.4.

I had a previous version of MMTracker on my smartphone that has just died and in the renewal process had to re-load the apk on my new smartphone. My joy at finding the wonderful improvements you have made.

Including, what I have sought for years, a default option for width and colour of tracks (and routes and waypoints). Felling faint ….. 😊

I've just stumbled across your app and resurrected my old memory maps. I've just installed it and it looks great, just like the old memory map program but better. Thank you so much for this, Al
[Android Apps and Games] mat999:
I get this error message when I try to start tracking. Nothing happens when I click OK. App works fine otherwise I believe. Any help greatly appreciated. Great to see mm tracker being developed again, many thanks to all involved.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
I have pm'd you
[Android Apps and Games] mat999:
Brilliant, thank you. Went into MIUI settings, apps, manage apps. Selected mm tracker then app info, battery saver. Selected "no restrictions" (it was on the recommended "battery saver"). Tracking now works. As I write this it does say it's having a problem saving tracks but I'll have a look at the directories etc. Thanks again, really appreciated
[Android Apps and Games] snowbird30ds:
Good work MMT! it's great to see this app in good hands again.
[Android Apps and Games] wombleuk:
Strangely, I've just come across this, but can't find my old qct files anywhere. I think I may have lost them when my old laptop went tits up!

Thought I'd backed them up too! 🙄

Any idea where I can hold hold of some?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] franktompson:
MMT_2020,

Continuing to enjoy your excellent app!

Might it be possible please to increase slightly the size of the red circle denoting gps position and/or the blue arrow denoting direction? I've tried 'Navigation Display, 'Large Arrow Only', but still a bit small on my device.

Thanks, Frank
[Android Apps and Games] KUPPY:
Hi, could anyone please help? I've had MM Tracker for a number of years now and it's the best mapping software I've ever used. However, several Android updates ago the "3 Dots" disappeared and this has rendered MM Tracker unusable! Could anyone advise how I can access this menu or the 3 Dots again? I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 running Android 11. Many many thanks for all your help from Kris :-)
[Android Apps and Games] jacktheripper1:
What version of mmtracker are you using
[Android Apps and Games] jacktheripper1:
Go into settings-applications-all apps

Find mmtracker - select

Down to bottom of screen

Advanced - select

At the bottom it should tell you the version number
[Android Apps and Games] KUPPY:
Ah, thank you. It's version 2.9.0
[Android Apps and Games] jacktheripper1:
That's not mmtracker you're looking at mmtracker latest version is 1.25.5 I think you're looking at memory map whick is a completely different program.
[Android Apps and Games] KUPPY:
Ah sorry, you are correct. it's version 1.10..6 rushing things as in work :-(
[Android Apps and Games] jacktheripper1:
Go back through the pages 1 by 1 and you will find 1.25.5.

It will then look like attached screenshot.
[Android Apps and Games] KUPPY:
You are a STAR, thank you so much. It's all up and running again, makes me a very happy bunny :)
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
Just out of interest, I was wondering what the reason is for MMT not being able to load maps over a certain size? I was prompted to ask as I've created a map of 1.85Gb which won't load, while one that's 1.78Gb will.

I know I can split large maps - but somtimes it's nice to keep them in one piece!

This is in no way a criticism of the superb work done by MMT_2020 to keep this app going, for which I, and many others, are extremely grateful :)

MMT_2020

Just found the updates that allow to use my favourite app ever again.

Looks great on Huawei P30 Pro Android 10.

Not used in amger yet but looks great.

Thanks again MMT.
[Android Apps and Games] Freddington:
Hi there,

Amongst the many fantastic things MMT_2020 has done I notice they have added MBTile functionality.

You can download the GB basemap in Mbtile format from here:-

OS Data Hub

The OS Data Hub can bring your geospatial solutions to life with our APIs, download service, data package creator and other user apps. See a better place with a wealth of free and premium products.

osdatahub.os.uk

If you move the resultant 2+Gb file into the maps folder MMtracker displays a grid with red X's.

Could anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial to produce a MMtracker readable file please?

I'm not a coder so this may be beyond me!

Many thanks in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
MMTracker only supports MBTiles databases which contain raster tiles. The free downloads from osdatahub contain vector tiles.
[Android Apps and Games] Freddington:
Cheers MMT
[Android Apps and Games] FrenchR:
Hello MMT_2020

I am French so please be indulgent with my English.

Thanks to keep MmTracker alive. I have been using it for a few months and I appreciate it.

The last version shows the positive elevation which is very good information. Unfortunately the indications are wrong. I attach a small TR_211027gpxtest.txt (just rename it in .gpx) the result should be + 14 / -0 Mmtracker will give + 5 / -5. do you know where it can come from?

Could this data be entered on the "view data track" table accessible during the hike?

Thanks again for your efforts
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
It looks like there is a problem there. I am just about to go away for 2 weeks so will investigate on my return.

ps. Your English is a lot better than my French!
[Android Apps and Games] FrenchR:
Thanks !..... Google traduction is my friend 😉
[Android Apps and Games] g3tso:
I have used MM Tracker since the days you could purchase it on Google Play. I have used V1.6..4 on Android 7 without any great issues however; I have now tried to get it working on a Samsung Galaxy A7 with Android 11 and the problem is that you can't set the directories. I found some point where it worked when the program located the maps in the tablet storage but nothing using the SD card. I have downloaded later versions from this forum but non of them will install into the device.

After a little perseverance and removing the older version I have found that V1.23.0 has loaded and is actually working.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
MMTracker 1.23.1

*From the position window (single touch on the map), long press will allow a waypoint to be created here, or allow the position to be shared using Google Maps

*If MMTracker is associated with qct or mbtiles files, copy the file to a directory called 'Downloaded' within your maps directory and open it

*From the context menu for a track (select and hold on a track), allow the track to be split at a selected trackpoint

*New Elevations setting of Use GPS Elevation Data. If this is set, then use actual gps elevation for the climb statistics of tracks if available, else use downloaded data from NASA

*When creating a route, show the length of the route while it is being created

*Other bug fixes and performance enhancements

Thanks MMT_2020, it's really good to see that MMTracker is still being updated - particularly with the recent demise of Viewranger.
[Android Apps and Games] kebabman99:
Thank you very much for keeping the app updated. Is it possible to set the app to not load all of my routes when starting please?
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:

Thanks very much for keeping this updated. It is very much appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] windsorXDA:
Hi,

I'm trying to understand how MM tracker calculates ascent & descent on a track. I had assumed that if I do a circular walk, finishing at my start point, then the two figures should be the same (approx, I know gps altitudes are not wonderfully accurate)

This has not been the case, with discrepancies of hundreds of meters. I also thought that MM tracker now had access to map/position based elevation data.

Am I making a wrong assumption, or is it just inaccurate gps altitudes causing the problem? I have attached a sample gpx track. (yes I know it was slow, there were 15 of us & lots of stiles)

regards

Geoff
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
Can you upload your gpx file and I will look at this.

Hi. Guys . Bit late to the party but could anyone help?

I have the old first version of this on an old GPS device.

I have currently switched to a new android phone and looking to get this working. Is there an idiot's guide to installing this and getting it working fully . The new phone is running Android 11 . Many thanks
[Android Apps and Games] windsorXDA:
Hi Jasext, What do you know, and what dont you know. Lots of advice further back in this thread, then come back with specific questions that we can answer.

[Android Apps and Games] chrispgreen:
A big thank you to MMT_2020 for all the hard work and time spent on improving and updating MMTracker.

I have an old phone Huawei Ascend 300 running running a custom ROM clean version Android 4.1. I don't use it as a main phone any more but have started to use it as a navigation device on my bike. It is running MMTracker version 1.10.6 without a problem. I tried to update it to MMTracker 1.23.2 but when I run the apk file I get an error which says “Parse error. There is a problem parsing the package”. Is this a problem with Android 4.1 or is my phone too old knackered? Any help to get the latest version MMTracker working on the phone would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
Uninstall the old version first
[Android Apps and Games] chrispgreen:
Thanks for the advice but unfortunatly, that did'nt work, I also restarted the phone after uninstalling.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
I should have read your message properly. The versions of mmtracker that I have produced work on Android 4.4 and above. Sorry
[Android Apps and Games] chrispgreen:
No problem, thanks for the info.
[Android Apps and Games] snowbird30ds:
Hi MMT, I have installed 1.23.1 on a lenovo tab 2 a8-50f on android 5.1 and it can't find any map files no matter what directory I select, I've copied to internal directory as well as sd card, it worked fine till factory reset but I can't remember which version was on before reset.

Any ideas?

Apologies for this schoolboy question but I’m stuck.

On one device everything working perfectly.

On second device, while I can get the crosshairs showing, and adjust their colour/size, I can’t get the direction arrow to display.

Have done ‘Navigation Display’ and ticked ‘Large Arrow Only’ and completed ‘Navigation Arrow Outline(Default Colour)’ and ‘Navigation Arrow Filling (yellow)’ but nothing displays. Grateful if someone would remind me what I haven’t done or done wrong!

Thanks, Frank
[Android Apps and Games] jakeythesnake:
Hullo,

Thanks very much for keeping MM Tracker alive—I've been using it on-and-off since about 2014 or so.

Is it possible to have the 'change scale' buttons ignore maps of the same scale? I have 1:25000 maps split into regions with some overlap, and when I want to change to a 1:50000 map I have to press the button 3-4 times (with the first 2-3 having no visible effect, as it is swapping between different 1:25k maps).
[Android Apps and Games] xdarb:
Sometimes you might have several maps at the same scale which are actually different! MMTracker wouldn't be able to tell if it's the same map or a different map at the same scale.
[Android Apps and Games] jakeythesnake:
Oh I know, that's why it would be nice to see it as an option (if it isn't one)! Personally I don't have a use-case for different maps at the same scale, but aware that others do :)

[Android Apps and Games] danduerden:
Hi, just moved from a Samsung S10 running Android 12 and version 1.6 of MMtracker to a Pixel 6a on Android 13. Version 1.6 wouldn't work, so I came searching and ended up here. Many thanks for keeping up the development. Sadly on the new phone with version 1.24, I can get it to install and find my maps, but the maps are just black, no image. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
I'm currently away and not home for another couple of weeks, but will investigate then.
[Android Apps and Games] fourlans:
Have you tried any of the older versions that can be found on this thread? You might find one that works and which you can use until MMT_2020 gets back and can look at your problem.
[Android Apps and Games] danduerden:
Thanks both, I've sorted it. I keep the map files on Google Drive, for some reason they hadn't downloaded properly. When I was able to click on them in Drive and open directly to MMTracker 1.24, they download directly to the right folder and open correctly.

Thanks MMT_2020

Anyone got any links to the most recent qct files?
[Android Apps and Games] chrispgreen:
Hi. I understand that MM Tracker can load MBTiles. These are a new to me but I would like to be able to use map tiles from Open Street Map. Please can someone explain how I can download maps from Open Street Map and use them with MM Tracker or point me in the direction of a website that explains how to do it. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarb:
Try MOBAC and let us know how you get on https://mobac.sourceforge.io/
[Android Apps and Games] chrispgreen:
Thanks for the suggestion and I gave MOBAC a try. It takes quite some time to download the tiles and the file size is large although these are both dependent on the zoom detail you set. MOBAC reported a number of connection errors when downloading the tiles and the finished tiles had areas where all the info was missing. Apparently Open Streetmap banned MOBAC because it overused the server resources, I suspect this was the cause of the connection errors. Some internet searching revealed that there are websites where ready made tiles for different countries can be downloaded but all the ones I found seemed to only offer the vector version of mbtiles rather than the raster version required by MMTracker.
[Android Apps and Games] Apprehensive:
Hello. I have been using v1.10.6 reasonably successfully until recently. I tried installing it on my latest phone and met with the directory selection problem (I'm sure I've encountered this before and worked around it?). However, I was amazed to see there is now a v1.24, so I tried that. The file manager reports "APK not installed" after I click on the .apk file. Why is this? I can install other APKs, just not this one, and I have Gb of spare storage on the phone and SD card. I haven't got any MM Tracker app installed at the moment, and it still won't install. I'm on Android 12 on LineageOS with no GApps, on a Moto G5. Cheers,

p.s. I've just tried to adb sideload using >adb install MM_1.24.0.apk and the error message is:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE: Package com.meixi signatures do not match previously installed version; ignoring!]

I'm fairly sure it's not installed at the moment, and the first time I tried, the original v1.10 had never been installed on the phone, yet it still failed.

p.p.s. I think I have been able to overcome my problem. I had profiles enabled, and there was another copy of MMTracker in my Work one. Ones this was deleted, the sideload worked.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
Only recently noticed that the new 1.24 was available, so many thanks, MMT_2020, for your continuing work :)

However, I seem to have an issue when tracking, in that (if notifications are enabled) I get a notification every few seconds, which is annoying to say the least!

Does anyone else get this? Is it a problem with my phone (a Huawei P30 Lite running EMUI 12 - which is Android 10, I believe), or the app? Or have I just got a setting wrong? I don't recall this being a problem with earlier versions.

Thanks for any assistance.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
As of 1.20, the notification shows the distance (in miles & km) of the track being produce, so this is updated very frequently. I'm not aware of this being a problem to anyone else.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
Thanks - maybe it is just me, then. Perhaps I had notifications turned off in the past without realising it.

I'll try a previous version to see if that was the case.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
Found the problem - it was a setting, buried in the app's notifications settings! I needed to have 'gentle notifications' switched on. Not something I've noticed before.

Unfortunately, though, another problem has arisen with tracking - sometimes it just stops, for no obvious reason (i.e., I haven't knowingly closed the app, for example). Is there anything I can do to see what might be going on? (This occurred with both 1.23 and 1.24).
[Android Apps and Games] xdarb:
I used to experience tracking stopping - but on those occasions the whole GPS system locked up, the phone would claim it couldn't lock to any satellites at all. Rebooting the phone would immediately get GPS lock, so I think an Android bug. It was possibly prompted by trying to use the camera while tracking, I think two apps trying to get GPS at once would trigger the bug, but that's a complete guess.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
When it's happened to me, the phone was in my pocket, not doing anything apart from tracking, as far as I know... I only realised it had stopped when I next looked at my phone and had to re-open MM Tracker.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarb:
If the app has been closed then it's most likely a battery optimisation thing, I've never known the app itself to crash.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
I agree, it doesn't look like a crash, though I can't be sure as it never happens while I'm watching! I'll change the battery settings to 'performance', and see if that makes any difference.
[Android Apps and Games] MMT_2020:
There's a whole load of stuff here re turning off battery optimisation on Huawei phones.

https://drivequant.zendesk.com/hc/e...ttery-optimization-on-your-Huawei-smartphone-

It's for a different app, but it looks like a similar problem to the one that you are describing.
[Android Apps and Games] carlosantoniolopez:
They don't make it obvious, do they? Thanks for the tip, I would never have found those settings by myself! But when I went through them, my phone already seemed to have the recommended settings.

However, I was out for a few hours today and left tracking running all the time... and it worked perfectly. So, hopefully, the problem is fixed or has gone away. We'll see how it goes in future!

Thanks, as ever, for your help.

[Android Apps and Games] buzz53:
First, many thanks to all responsible for provding MM-Tracker. I have a query.

I use an aviation navigation app called Skydemon, which has its own charts, but offers a "view on map" facility to invoke an external app at a specific location. This action presents a selection of apps to use, such as Google Maps, Uber etc, but MMT is not amongst them. The Skydemon developer says this is not under his control but is down to the external app announcing in some way via the OS that it can handle geo URLs. I think this may be called "intent" in Android? Does this make sense, and is this something that coud be implemented in MMT in the future?

Thank you for your continueded hard work MMT_2020, it is very much appreciated, especially now that you have added the vector maps function to MM Tracker.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarb:
Amazing, thanks for the continued updates! Funny that big features like vector tiles are hidden as a bullet point in the middle. I've been trying to keep track of all changes so I've made my own ChangeLog document. But some feature could do with better documentation about how to use them. And even things like "allow geo uri calls" don't clearly explain what they mean. Is there a guide somewhere?
