Undefined?

I've started using the app, have my QCT files stored and working.

I've also converted a KML file to GPX using an online converter, popped the file in the correct Way Points directory and it worked a treat.

For some reason though, it's now lost all the Way Point names and they're showing as "undefind"

Anyone know why?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled, I've cleared data and cache, I've deleted the GPX file and ready downloaded it - all to no avail.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] mmtwilba:
I would suggest creating a waypoint with mmtracker then looking at the file in notepad on the pc.

Have a look at your converted file in notepad and see how they differ.

Using ver 1.10.6 on rooted HTC One M8 running Android 6.0 and only able to set map directory on sd card to a new directory by finding it in 'storage' directory in main memory. However setting tracks, waypoints etc has to be to a directory the app can see on the sd card - it can't see main storage or any newly created ones on the sd card. Slightly annoying. But as I have all the .qct files for the UK quite pleased.
[Android Apps and Games] geordie_ben:
Is the MM tracker capable of holding pictures? I've got text and pictures on my google map, i've exported the layers are KML files and converted them to GPX.

The GPX files keep the text and header, but lose the pin colouring and pictures. Anyway of keeping these so they show in the MM app?

If you really want to stick agincourts up for the os i would like to see someone buy the usb 150 maybe crowdfund and then a clever bod reverse engineer the qc3 back to qct maps unencrypted. For me its not about piracy but i would hate a faulty cache in a whiteout. My safe unencrypted 2004 maps are pulling significant age errors now.

Been using MM Tracker for years very happily. As my Galaxy S2 died on me, I just replaced it with a similar one on eBay (Android 4.1.2) to use solely as GPS. Installation of the app and map files all seems to have gone well, but despite several retries and trying both MMT V1.10.4 and 1.10.6, I’m getting the same rather weird problem.

That is, that the app only seems to find a small portion of the OS maps offered in the qct folder I’ve copied in. Testing this over several days, it seems to see all/most of the 25k map files from the Scottish border northwards, plus the 1:1m UK map and the whole earth one. But almost everything in England and Wales is not apparently seen (or at least displayed) by any of the means of loading. “Load Maps” will show them in the selection list, but display a white screen. “Maps at Position” from a pressed screen adjacent to one of the maps which do work either hangs for ever or displays only a list with the two large-scale maps mentioned above.

The GPS does find a current position and displays the red cross-hairs onto a white screen.

In case there was a memory/capacity issue, I tried deleting all but a smaller selection of southern England map files, and also placing the reduced-size qct directory onto the phone’s internal memory. Neither to any avail. It’s like the app is missing some reference point to identify the locations affected; but it’s set up exactly the same as my wife's Galaxy S2 (also Android 4.1.2), which is working fine…

Anyone able to help? Otherwise I'm going to have a spare phone to dump.

Hi all,

Having the same issue on Android 7 - unable to select directories.

Is the source code available anywhere? I'm a software engineer so I can probably fix this issue myself!

Many thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Ajdnet:
There is a GitHub project that was started to decompile the source code, but I don't know if it has stalled as it doesn't look like much is happening on it. Perhaps you could assist if you have the skills?

[Android Apps and Games] touchee:
I have another Nexus 6p that is on 7.1.1 via Google ota updates. Interesting MM Tracker is working fine on that, presumably because it had been set up originally when the phone was running 7.0?

So I would conclude that MMtracker will work just fine on 7.1.1 but only once we've somehow been able to point it to the right folders after installation!

Is there anything I could do with my working, unrooted, stock, 6p to copy the setup over to my other rooted, 6p running a custom rom?
[Android Apps and Games] Ajdnet:
I'm not sure about copying one to the other...and I'm certainly no expert...but would a symlink be a possible workaround to the directory link problem?
[Android Apps and Games] touchee:
Any idea what system folder MMtracker keeps its information in?
[Android Apps and Games] touchee:
OK, so I've got mine working now on the second nexus 6p running 7.1.1

I installed helium on both phones, saved settings and then restored on the other. Simple fix.

Digging down a bit, the file that holds the paths is /data/data/com.meixi/shared_prefs/com.meixi_preferences.xml

So for people that can't set the paths through the program on 7.1.1 they could possibly edit the file directly.

And for anyone about to get a new phone running 7.1.1 be sure to save a helium backup of the MMTracker data settings before you reset your old phone.

Hope this helps someone.

[Android Apps and Games] touchee:
I've only Installed Helium a couple of times, specifically for MMtracker!, but it is basically a case of installing it on each phone from Play Store, then initialising each phone using a laptop which has the Helium page open in its browser. IIRC the phone app prompts you to do this.

Once Helium app has been initialised, run a backup for the MMtracker app. This creates the backup under carbon/com.meixi. I copied the resultant folder (carbon) over to the new phone, then restored it. Good luck.

I have an HTC 10 which had previously been rooted and running Venom OS. I manaed to get mmtracked running under Venom. I recently decided to restore the phone to stock unrooted to get the ota update to Android Nougat. All went very smoothly and now have an unrooted HTC 10 running Stock Android 7.0. All well except I cannot get mmtraked to let me configure the directories. I tried installing mmtracker on an S7 Edge and transferring the folder "carbon" using Helium from the S7 to my htc10 But mmtracker now complains that the directories are invalid or not writeable. The carbon folder I hav transfered contains a folder called com.meixi which in turn contains two files com.meixi.ab and com.meixi.json. I've run out of ideas or things to try!

Problems with MMT on Moto G5

I’ve been using MM Tracker successfully for years without any problems on several Motorola phones since Gingerbread and all the way through to Marshmallow.

I’ve just bought the new Moto G5 running on Nougat (Android V7.0) and I’m experiences the same problem as several other members: I can no longer set any directories (Maps, Routes etc...). I’ve tried both MMT V1.10.4 and 1.10.6 to no avail.

I have it running successfully on a Moto G2 so I installed Helium on both phones, and on my PC, I saved the settings from the G2 and then tried to restore them on the G5, it still doesn’t work. So I tried the same backup/restore saving both the MMT app and the data but it still doesn’t work.

I found that Helium backs up the app and the data to the G2 (Marshmallow) but only backs up the app to the G5 (Nougat).Any help much appreciated, Thanks

Marshmallow+ Directory problem: Working / Try this!

I installed MMTracker and it seemed not to work. As others experienced the directories for Maps on the SD Card didn't seem to save, as every time I returned it showed the root / and the main screen was black with a message saying No Map loaded..

I tried Helium backup/restore from my previous phone but that restored that phones folders which had a different path to the SD Card. Instead of /sdcard/Maps the new phone needed a path like /storage/BE2B-A004/Maps/ . I even tried modifying the paths in the backup file and trying to restore but that doesnt work as the backup file has a checksum.

I was about to start down the path of deconstructing, editing and recreating the backup file, but then I happened to find out that in fact the Map path set through the MMTracker UI had saved, it just didnt show!

All I need to was select a map by long pressing the 'overview' button (the right hand of the three buttons on the phone front, looking like a square box).

It then behaved as normal and can select maps by the larger/smaller scale buttons etc.

I've even verified the fact that the map path is saved by deinstalling, reinstalling, editing the path and backing up and examining the path saved in the backup file.

So if you install MMTracker on Android 6 or later and it seems like it doesn't work:

1) Set the Map Path to the correct SD Card folder (something like /storage/BE2B-A004/Maps/) if you have them in a Maps folder in the root of your SD-card.

2) Set the tracks, routes, waypoints folders (I used internal storage as they are only small files)

3) Long press on the phones square box right hand 'overview button and select a map.

Enjoy.

I'm curious if this works for everyone. I only chanced upon finding out it was actually working as the initial black screen and non saving map path convinced me it wasn't working.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarb:
Not quite sure what you mean - long pressing the box is the same as tapping it for me; I just get the recent app chooser, nothing specific to MMTracker.
[Android Apps and Games] MikeWiko:
On my phone when running MMTracker (Wiko Freddy running Android 6.0.1 I get the recent apps with a tap on the square button and if I touch and hold I get the MMTracker app menu pop up (Load Map, Overlay, Settings, GPS Lock, Screen Lock, Tracking).

If it doesn't work for you maybe there is a way of enabling it in the settings.? or google how to bring up menu for your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] diddydavro:
Yes that method works OK on Android v6, I had to do that with Moto G2 when I updated it from Android v5 to Android v6 BUT it doesn't work on Android v7. I tried Helium Backup and Restore but it didn't cure my problem, nor any subscribers who have Android v7.
[Android Apps and Games] PerryGrin:
almost useful enough . . . but my meixi_preferences.xml file is pretty empty,

<string name="editMapPath">/</string>

<boolean name="checkboxLoadWpOnStartup" value="true" />

<string name="listLoadTracksAtStartup">6</string>

<string name="editRoutePath">/</string>

</map>

Anyone have a preferences file from a working install that they can share so I can see the directory definition syntax.

Then I can try editing my file appropriately to see if it fixes the problem.

Thx.
[Android Apps and Games] PerryGrin:
Yup - thanks very much for that.

Eventually, after a couple of false starts, editing your preferences file and adding my own directory paths did get me further. After a few app-restarts/prefs-re-edits it all began working and I could manually load (or GPS_lock-load) maps from my external SD. I keep the volatile TRW (tracks/routes/waypts) directories on the internal SD and these can all be written to by the app.

"Out of the box" the Settings/Directories pane shows '/' as value for all paths but does not offer a browsing mechanism down into '/' (nor a '[ . . ]' - for obvious reasons). Once I've edited the prefs, the TRW paths show up and can be browsed as usual but the Maps path still shows as '/' and, as before, is not browsable, even though LoadMap does look in the right (ext SD card) place and does offer the right map files. If I edit the prefs to make the Maps path be somewhere down /sdcard then the Directories/Maps pane does show the right path and does browse properly.

I tried making the Maps path appear to be on the internal SD even though the data lives on the external SD. Couldn't make a cross-filesystem symlink from /sdcard/Mapping/Maps to /storage/821B-1111/SDMapping/Maps, so I mounted it with '-o bind' but though that made the maps visible by the mount point, the app presented the same problems as before.

So what to conclude? Not a prefs read/write issue because the prefs file does get updated. The internal SD card is writable. The ext SD card is readable (I haven't tried putting TRW paths there to see if it is also writable). Presumably, in the prefs dialogs some kind of directory access operation fails on the top level or on the external SD everything stems from that inability to set any initial path. Weird, I say.

At the moment I can now get all the functionality in V1.10.6 (on current LineageOS 14.1 , a.k.a. Android 7.1.2) so no stress.

Setting Directories

I have a Moto G3 with Android 6.0.1.

It seems possible to set the Maps directory on the SD card. Mine ends up looking like

/storage/3650-FF00/Download/Memory-Map/

where Download/memory-Map are the directories I created

Go to the top (so directory shows as /)

Scroll down and you should find [storage]

Under Storage is [3650-FF00] which seems to be the root of the storage card

It does NOT seem possible to set tracks, routes or waypoint on the SD card because [storage] is not visible.

Hope that helps someone!

They already did, This program was originally on google play then it moved to android pit finally being left on here for future compatibility, understandably when this program was envisioned OS Maps 1:25K for the whole of the UK was 3000 GBP. you can now get memory map and the lot on 1:25K for 125 GBP a lot more modest. Its still worth getting the 2004 qct maps and mmtracker and memory map and the current maps as a faulty cache could leave you mapless. I just have the 2004 maps because if you get asked by someone for a map you can bluetooth MMtracker and the map in no time.

Yeah sorry should have read the whole posts, still wondering about jumping from mmtracker and having a look at anquet but its not very clear, they talk about paying 175 for the whole of the uk in os maps and talk about map streaming. Nobody can use a map on the hills with no signal if it isnt offline so why is there a subscription 10 gbp model if your paying 175. this is why people stick with the qct maps from 2004. If i knew that 175 gave me completely unresticted offline usage guaranteed then I might go for it.

MMTracker - Set Directories HELP!

Hi All

I'm wrestling with setting the directories in MMTracker (on Android 6.0.1)

I've managed to set the Maps directory (as described in #703)

But the Routes, Track & Waypoints Directory don't seem to allow me to set that path. All I get when I browse (['. . . ]) is

/ with [sdcard] underneath it. and then underneath that [360], [alt-autocycle], [Android} etc which looks to me like internal memory and I'd sooner have this stuff on the SD card.

I've created directories using a file manager (Astro) on the internal memory sdcard/MemoryMap/tracks etc and that seems to work OK

So, any suggestions as to how I get MMTracker to browse to an SD card directory for Tracks etc?

Alternatively, various threads have talked about editing the MMTracker Prefs file but I cant find that on my device - where should I look? I presume I can find the path in clear and just edit it in a format similar to the maps path?

TFAI

I think your device has to be rooted before you can see the prefs file. As my present device isn't rooted, I'm afraid I can't remember where the file lives, but a file search on a rooted device should find it.

I have been using MM Tracker quite happily on 7.0 having had it working fine on 6.0 before being upgraded. The only restriction was that only Maps could be configured to be on the SD card. The other files had to stay internal. Then my phone had to be replaced. Disaster - as my new phone was already on 7.0.

Fortunately I have two identical Moto G Plus - both on 7.0. I downgraded one to 6.0, configured MM Tracker OK, backed MM Tracker up using Helium and restored the config onto my phone on 7.0. Now it works fine. This time I have configured the SD card as being Internal so I do not have to worry about changing the SD card at a later date. Otherwise I would have a problem because each SD card appears to be given a unique ID in the Android filesystem and the MM Tracker would then become invalid and uneditable.

A friend of mine received a new S7 with A7.0 pre installed (unrooted) and I successfully installed MM Tracker (v1.10.4 patched), without any workarounds, and everything worked fine straight away including loading maps and tracking routes (internal storage). I have an S7, but I have been holding onto Android 6.0.1 in fear of losing MM Tracker after updating to A7.0 (and resetting phone). Not sure if I should upgrade to A7.0 and hope that it works or to stick with what definitely works. I don't want to bother messing around with Helium or rooting etc.

Given that Ian (above) had similar success with an S8+ on A7.0, perhaps something has changed on Sammy mobiles Android builds that now lets them find the maps folder correctly which it didn't previously.
