Hi Michael, gps is enabled, when i use load map manager and select map everything works as it should, the problem is at start up when i click on mmtracker icon, a box appears saying loading tracks and routes when it has finished there is nothing there, if i touch screen routes appear, but no cross hairs when gps is locked on, this problem only happened when 1.9.0 was downloaded. hope this feedback helps. went out walking today used load map manager from menu and had no problems its just start up.

Regards Fred. PS reset my phone to factory settings redownloaded mmtracker, problem still the same, hope this helps.

Map data cache

Hi Michael,

I have upgraded to 1.9.3. Do I need to do anything to get the map cache to kick in as it is still very slow to show 'maps at position' if I have a lot of maps?
[Android Apps and Games] fredjones1uk:
Hi Michael, problem with mmtracker on my phone fixed, downloaded latest version and everything is back to normal. Thanks

Kind regards

[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
the caching works in two ways. If you just start MM Tracker and do not use "map at position" or scale change a background thread is reading the data of a map every second. So after some minutes all data of all maps should be cached.

When you use "map at position" or scale change then MM Tracker has to scan all maps and will fill the cache immediately.

That means the first map change may be slower, but all following map changes can use the cached data and will be faster.

Anyhow, even with cached data MM Tracker has to scan the whole map folder for maps when "map at position" is requested. This can take some time and will not be speed up by the caching. The caching just avoids the calculation of the size of every map.

Regards, Michael

Xoom

Hey Michael

Your app works very well on the Xoom. One small feature request (unless I have missed how to do it) is to be able to use the SD card directories for maps and the like. The internal memory is referenced by "sdcard" whilst the SD card uses "external1" - /mnt/external1.
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
This is a known problem with the XOOM with latest Android update. I try to fix this with the next release. Any feedback on this appreciated :)

Regards, Michael
[Android Apps and Games] ruderik:
Excellent - look forward to the update - thanks.

WRT being unable to install my MM Tracker in my DHD, I had to sideload it from my Xoom - seems like the copy-protection is a problem on cooked ROMs..
[Android Apps and Games] grogan197:
Just noticed that memory map have a beta out for android now. Had a quick look at it but couldn't seem to use my maps with it only ones it downloads.

Features seem quite basic.

Phone is crashing

Hi Michael

on the more regular rides I go on, I usually track my route but don't look at the phone until the end of the ride.

Since I'm not sure when, maybe a month or thereabouts when I look at the phone I cannot make the display come back on.

The green LED seems to always be on, but I might be mistaken about that.

The hard keys illuminate but there is no way to switch the display back on.

I pull the battery, reboot and find that the phone has captured various lengths of my route, like today it captured only about 20 minutes, last week it captured about an hour and a half.

Is there any way that I can help troubleshoot the issue, like grab a log file from somewhere and send to you? Any suggestions?

thanks

[Android Apps and Games] HurricaneMike:
Hi Michael

Again, thanks for a great prog.

I've now got an Asus Transformer and a large microsdhc card so I tried to loaded some of my database of maps/nautical charts.

Unfortunately, during scaling (switching to different map/charts at the current position) your map caching is very slow.

Is there another way of doing things?

I do the same thing on my PC using Memory Map and its very fast.

Memory Map also shows the map outlines which is also useful when changing scales.

I'd like to start using MM Tracker on my boat but its important to be able to switch charts of different scales quickly. The only way I can find at the moment is to put a selection of the charts that I'm going to use into a separate temp folder/directory. Then I "point" MM Tracker's map folder to that temp directory. As long as there are less than about 50 charts, the app is useable. But to make the system easier to use, it would be simpler to point MM Tracker's Map Directory to a much bigger selection containing sub folders. For example, my main Map folder incluging the maps in the subfolders contains in excess of 2000 files/maps. All very doable with Memory Map on the PC.

Here's an example showing the kind of thing I'm doing

It would be great if you could find a way of managing a large number of files or speeding up your caching techniques?
[Android Apps and Games] grogan197:
Slowdown when tracking. Noticed this first in October on a 10 hour walk in Wales. When tracking the phone slowly gets slower and slower, after a while android starts bringing up messages asking if you want to force quit as the app has stoped responding then finally if you leave it you have to pull the battery. I was waiting about 120 seconds for menus to appear etc.

Noticed it again more recently on a 90 minute bike ride. Tracking starts fine but noticeable lag on operations once it's been going a little while.

Memory-Map 2012

Hi Michael,

Probably a really stupid question, but before I part with my hard-earned cash could you confirm please that MM Tracker is able to read Memory-Map 2012 qct files please?

With thanks,

Frank

PS - Thanks for speeding up the MMI search function for SGS - now works a treat!
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi Paul,

actually there is no log file to analyze. But are sure that MM Tracker is crashing the phone ? Mabye another app you installed is responsible ?

Anyhow if you think MM Tracker is doing this, the only reason i could think of is that you are running out of memory. Maybe you have loaded a lot of tracks and used up all the memory ?

I never experienced such kind of problems with MM Tracker. So maybe i can not help you too much.

Best regards,

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

currently i have no plans to redesign the caching. The main problem is still the initial directory scan to find all existing maps. I have currently no idea how to avoid this without the need of manually refreshing the cache like MemoryMap PC software is doing this. But i will keep it in mind. Maybe i will find a solution in future.

2000 maps ... wow ... ;)

Best regards,

Michael
[Android Apps and Games] HurricaneMike:
Thanks for the reply, Michael

I've (sort of) found a way round the cache problem.

I've split my maps into groups within separate directories.

I then "point" MM Tracker at the appropraite subset of maps and it works fine.

Maybe you could streamline this concept by allowing a quicker way of switching folders or perhaps let people put maps into folder sets - just a thought.

BTW

I've been playing with the Navionics Mobile app.

What a load of bolox

It looks good on the screen and has some interesting useless features.

But totally unusable.

I tried to make a route of about 6 waypoints.

An hour later I was no nearer than when I started.

So I "fired up" MM Tracker and, literally, seconds later the job was done.

Well done

You've managed, on your own, to do what a whole team at Navionics can't.

Mike
[Android Apps and Games] frumpy:
Ok. Think this was a wider problem too, has not re-occured since I changed ROM. Thanks, it is good to see you're still around.

Create route -profile elevation

Hi, Michael

I'm french and do not speak very well, so excuse me

I bought MMtracker and it's very great to use my memory map cards, it's wonderful !

But, i mean there is a missing fonction: with memory map in my PDA (pocket navigator), when i create a route (or imported from PC), it is possible to see the profile elevation.

I considere that the profile is very imortant (indispensable) to walking in montains

Do you think you could expand on that ?

I am going to corsica in july :D:D:D

Best regards

[Android Apps and Games] bluemerlin:
I love this app but one question.

Can it read mmo files.

I have dropbox and dropsync setup to copy my Map Overlays folder from the PC, I'd like then for MM tracker to open the mmo file with all the routes in.

Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] j.i.wilson:
Why not just try?
[Android Apps and Games] bluemerlin:
I did try, when I go to load route it only lists the gpx files.

That's why I asked if it was possible, maybe I am missing something.

Hello Mapman, I bought mmtracker v1.10.1. I use qct files, but today he started to say wrong format (> version 2)

Do you have an idea of what is going on? thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] kevcal:
I have a feature request (if it's not already available and I've missed it).

Whilst tracking, could we output distance travelled as an option on this track?

I know I can figure it out on the track statistics page, but on-screen during tracking would be useful?

Excellent app by the way - use it for kayaking and walking.

Hi kevcal,

why not using Settings->Display->Show Track Info ?

Hi Map Man

My MMI file isnt loading since I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 version LP7 on my Galaxy S2 using MM Tracker 1.10.3

This seems to be a replay of the problem I had with earlier versions of Android (eg 2.3.3 - see page 27 of this thread). I am confident the problem is not my end ie. related to my MMI file or my SDCard etc., You fixed the problem last time. Can you fix it this time?

Best Rgds
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hi upsole,

i will test MM Tracker regarding ICS compatibility when i get my hands on a ICS device (which i do not have yet).

Then i will of course check the MMI issue.

Best regards, Michael
[Android Apps and Games] uspole:
Hi Michael, That would be great if you can do that. Ive found that on ICS LP8 occassionally the MMI file loads but more often than not it's crashing MM Tracker. On earlier versions of ICS eg LP2 it wouldnt load at all.

A new user unable to obtain/download mm tracker (using ICS 4.3)

Hi, I'm a previous memmap win mobile user and just got my very ist android device a cheapo EKEN android tablet icS 4.3. i like the sound of mm tracker but so far no luck.

1) doesn't show up at all on google play

2) when I visit android pit as per mapman's FAQ i can only find the paid for version, a very fair price but I would really like to see if it works on ics 4.3 before shelling out. ( also as i have no built in gps & no bluetooth the free version may just do fine as a map viewer is probably all I need to gain some utility from my stock of QCT maps). I'm perfectly happy to get hold of the apk and copy to my sd card and install via file manager.

Any assistance gratefully received.

Panic over!! This complete day one newby to android retraced his steps and this timke found the free version on the android pit DOH!. Having issue with setting maps folder in settings. maps are in "maps folder " in root of ext microsd card. file manager shows path as \extsd\maps. I've tried this but the app stays frozen on the settings page. Is this likely to be because i'm on ics 4.03? thanks for any assistance,

MM Tracker has vanished from my play store installed apps list and I can't find it on the play web site either?
[Android Apps and Games] the lemming:
Hello

Just found this discussion which is too big to read from scratch, sorry.

Before Android Market changed to Google Play I bought MM Tracker and thoroughly enjoyed using it. I now have the problem of wanting to put it back onto my Tablet but can't find the app on Google.Play.

I have since discovered that the app will be delayed in its return to the Google.Play site.

Is there any way that I can get my copy of MM Tracker back?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] gscale:
Hi MapMan! I bought MMTracker more than a year ago now and I still love it. I use it for geocaching and sailing, and it does the job pretty well.

I have some requests though, and I know you try to take them into account when possible, so I'll try with these ones:

- Sometimes, I need to create a waypoint quickly, but I could find an option to do it without entering the coordinates manually. Could you add a radio button, in the waypoint creation panel, to use the "current position", or automatically fill the fields with current position values (currently, the fields are empty). For example, I am somewhere, and I want to remember my position, in order to come back there later..

- Do you think you're gonna add the altitude feature by reading the .qed files? I gave you some java code last year to help you doing it, if you have questions about it, don't hesitate.

- Last question: I am using official geocaching application, and there is an option to use "external map service": when I select it, it proposes Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps. Is there a way to register your application as a "map service" under Android, so MMTracker could be open with arguments (in our case, coordinates) and center directly to that point and/or create a waypoint from these coordinates?

Thank you so much for your time. MMTracker is a great app, so keep updating it! Bon courage.
[Android Apps and Games] Map Man:
Hello all,

if you are looking for MM Tracker in Google play and can not find it, it is because it was removed by request of Mr. Ray Badmonton from Memory-Map.

[Android Apps and Games] gscale:
Thanks for the answer, I'll try that as soon as I get MM Tracker back (I just ugraded to ICS, and I couldn't find it on Google Play after that).

The claim really sucks! Memory Map couldn't provide any app on Android for 2 years, and now they have one, they try to f*ck you and us at the same time.. And I think it's because your work is way better than what they did. Good luck with that problem. Long live to MM Tracker!

[Android Apps and Games] frumpy:
Not sure if this helps you, but just FYI it works fine on ICS for me on HTC HD2 and Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Apps and Games] boomboomer:
99% of the app works for me on the Sensation ICS (Vi), only the compass and navigation arrows are missing for some reason.

Best of luck with those idiots at Memory Map, I can't see that they can win that argument as the app doesn't supply or copy any maps - but you're relying on Google being supportive, not something they are renowned for. If Memory Map had a more realistic business plan and sold the base maps for reasonable figures without tying people to their crap app they would do well. Instead they have to jump on any innovation and stop it, to protect their own mediocrity.

You might be better off offering to Google that you will remove all reference to memory map in the market advert, only referring to the use of .qct map files that the user already owns, or had produced themselves?
[Android Apps and Games] dosher:
Not working for me either following installation of ICS on Galaxy Note.
[Android Apps and Games] frumpy:
Just checking - is the app still installed but no longer working?

Or do you mean you can't find it on the market/play store?
[Android Apps and Games] franktompson:
Installed but no longer working.
[Android Apps and Games] dosher:
Following the ICS install on my GNote a few weeks ago I reinstalled MM Tracker from the Play Store. Can't remember whether I tested to see whether it was launching or not, too busy installing and setting everything else up.

Since then I've installed 2 ICS ROM updates and used Titanium Backup to reinstall MM Tracker on each occasion. Only just noticed that MMT is failing to launch. Tried clearing cache and Dalvik but no change.
[Android Apps and Games] dosher:
Did some testing and it's the latest (ICS) UK LQ2 ROM which is the problem for me on the Galaxy Note. Went back to (ICS) German LPY ROM and MM Tracker now works again.
[Android Apps and Games] franktompson:
Thanks dosher,

How can one gain access to the ICS German LPY ROM?

With thanks,

Frank
[Android Apps and Games] dosher:
You can download it directly from http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/

You'll need to login / create an account and then search: N7000. The Open Germany LPY ROM is about 20th down on the list

There's probably a link to the same ROM somewhere over on the XDA Galaxy Note forums. I'm already rooted so just pushed the extracted tar.md5 file accross to the internal sd card and then used Mobile Odin Pro to flash the new ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] franktompson:
Many thanks dosher, that's very helpful.

I've visited and registered on the Sammobile.com site, but, of the 10 ICS ROMS apparently available for the Note, I can't find an 'Open German' one listed. The nearest LPY version is listed as 'Open Austria' (which appears to include Germany and UK). Would that one do the job?

With thanks,

Frank
[Android Apps and Games] dosher:
Yup, that one should be ok although I had another look and LPY Open Germany is now 22nd down on the list. Did you search for 'N7000' in Firmware?

MM Tracker - just possibly the best android app...

Dear MapMan,

I've been a dedicated Memory Map user for nearly ten years both on PC and handheld, firstly on a selection of Toshiba PDA's then laterly on my HTC HD2 with WM6.5. I thought that was great but became increasingly frustrated at the lack of development. An iPhone app appeared but with nothing new over what I had so I stayed with my Windows phone, that is until my contract expired last week.

On discovering MM Tracker I decided to join the Android world with a new Samsung Galaxy S2...

All I can say is, "What was I thinking??? Why did I wait sooo long!!!!"

My previously most used app on WM has just been blown out the water by MM Tracker. It even does things like rotating map display that I was told by Memory Map would never be possible.

Having had the pleasure of using MM Tracker for a week I have now become greedy and want more....

Looking at your to do list the following may be low priority but they would make a great app better still!

1. Using Memory Map in North America there was an add-on that dragged in near live weather radar info as an overlay on the map. I asked Memory Map about this for the UK using the available data from the Met Office but got the usual brush off... Considering how important the weather is to us Brits this would be a great addition to MM Tracker.

2. On a similar theme having paid too much for the Pro version of Memory Map they had another add-on for AIS (Automatic Identification System) for live shipping positions on screen. I would be interested in seeing this in MM Tracker in the dim and distant future...

3.And finally, for all the cyclists out there the link with ANT+ devices would be good, but also, how about using the technology already in smart phones and recording slope angle(%) in the track and displaying it live on screen. I am convinced that some of those hills are steeper than the signs say and would love to find out when I get back home!

Thank you MapMan for all your hard work and I for one look forward to seeing what wonders you can work with MM Tracker in the future...

mattyoh
[Android Apps and Games] franktompson:
Thanks to dosher's assistance I have now tried three ICS ROMS on the Samsung Galaxy Note, none of which worked with MM Tracker.

My advice if you value utilising MM Tracker on the SGN (and of course others may have a completely different experience!) is to stay with GB until Michael has had chance to fix it up for ICS.

MM Tracker on ICS

I have just installed MMT (paid for version) on my HTC One X (lush!)

Works fine except I cannot access the menu, which, I presume, is entered using the green triangle at the top right of the screen.

Details of the installation are:

Android version = 4.0.3

HTC Sense version = 4.0

Software number = 1.28.161.9

HTC SDK API level = 4.12

MM Tracker = difficult to say because I cannot access it! Downloaded from AndroidPit on 8th June 2012.

BTW

I have used MM original for many years. It was what bound me to WinMob. Now MMT binds me to Android!! Says it all really - what a brilliant program, wish I had changed sooner.

Many thanks for your efforts.
