Thanks mcross, I just updated the files.
I neglected to update the install file on the last update, also corrected the Google Analytics so you can add your account number. added an option in the install so you can choose from new install or upgrade.
let me know if I missed something.

Are the problems with Webinterface and the IE7 also solved?
Greetings Kai-Uwe
I am not sure which problems you are talking about? With this current web interface or the new EXT one?

Looks like the version number is still 1.15 in the index.php file. The readme.txt file is labeled version 1.14 also. Not to nit-pick, just thought you might want to know.
I haven't installed it just yet but was wondering how your setup allows me to set my GA account number for the tracker script? I can manually edit it, but others might not be able to.
Edit:Now after installing it I'm not seeing the option to set GA to on. I didn't see it in the config.php file. What am I missing? I'm sure it's only my ignorance with PHP. :\
I searched through and changed all version numbers in all files. I was just changing the one in the language file. I think the install.php file is good now, you can test for me?
and thanks for the troubleshooting.

It worked great this time. The only thing I noticed you might want to change for a future release to ensure they know the GA account number format. When I first installed I entered just my 7 digit number. This doesn't work since it should be a full set like this one: UA-4#####5-1.
What can I say, I'm just used to cut and pasting the whole GA code. I'm certainly not a coder. :) Thanks for your work though. I'm looking forward to your v2.0 release. :)

Check that your pictures have EXIF data with a creation date. If not, double check the file date of the files. The date should be close to the date of your GPS data when was uploaded.
I'm having the same exact problem.
How do I check for exif data on the phone? Is there anything I need to do to enable it? This program is incredible and any help on getting this working would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! :)

Hi staryon (& co developers).
I've just begun writing an ASP.NET (with MS SQL) version of the webserver and I have some questions.
The first is about the "db=2" key/value in the request string, where is it for? I can't seem to find any code that "processes" this value (only a check if it's 2).
Can I post further questions in this thread or do you preffer a PM?
Regards, Mischa.

I use that parameter internally to check the version of the server files.
If I make an update of the server files that makes the client not to work unless you update it, I increase that value. By doing that, when the old client access the server files it will get an error telling the user that he needs to update the client.

Thanks for the reply staryon... two more questions for you or anyone who might know...
(1) If I look on the computer and find that the exif data is not there, how do I turn it on on an AT&T Tilt?
(2) If I look on the computer and find that the exif data is there, what else could be causing this problem?
Thanks again, everyone's help is greatly appreciated!! :D

Maybe because your GPS data doesn't match the creation date of those pictures. If the time difference is too big, you will not get a match.

As far as I know it's correct unless that you get a negative value. It's just I haven't been able to find the right way of decoding the value correctly that I got from the GPS sometimes. If somebody knows please let me know...
Can you add 57600 rate for Eten devices?

ny ideas of why I keep getting ?error messages when trying to upload images? I'm using my own server and it work in the past. Now when ever I attempt to upload a picture I get the generic error message for CF since I haven't installed the message pack.
My icons are working and all, just not the pictures. It fails when I attempt using both methods to upload images too. I'm mobile right now so I can't log into my server and verify permissions yet which is the only thing I can think of.
Any ideas to try? I'll insall the message pack to if it'll help at all.

Alright, I installed my own server works great. I see all my points and everything. My friend has a phone with gps too.. We get his phone set up and everything on my server and ran into a issue. When you start live tracking on his user account it goes back to mine.. Is there any fix to this? Or do I have to make the accounts private for them to be separate?
Here is the link to the server. I can only get the first account that got created to live track.. "chris" Then Hazardc won't live track.

Are you using Google Earth? Try it from there to see if you have the same problem with Live Tracking. At least that may give you some hints where the problem is.

The ASP.NET webserver is far from done and not ready for publishing. It's something I do in my spare time, and I don't have much of that. The server package will consist of 2 VB.NET classes, the first is for processing the TrackMe client requests, the other for the Webclient requests. I've about 1/3 of the code for the TrackMe Client Class and 1/4 of the code for the Webclient class. I've not started with the sample website... There is a long way ahead of me.
If you can't wait (and you shouldn't), you can install PHP and MySQL on a Windows server running IIS and run the PHP version you can find in post 1. It's only a basic web interface, but works like a charm!

I have no problem reading the PHP code, but I see the same error code used in more actions and there are actions that don't give back any error code. My tought was that you didn't implement all error codes in the PHP webserver. I noticed some brackets "()" in some errormessages in the the TrackMe client. Can I return extra info in some errors ("Result:6|Errormessage" or something)?
The Find Closest Buddy function gives me a rather weird distance (both the original PHP/MySQL as my ASP.NET/MSSQL). Right now it says 1786665163, that means my closest buddy should be driving on Ring 1 of around Saturn. That gives `A Far Friend is Worth More than a Good Neighbour' a whole new meaning. Did somebody notice this? Could it be caused by the language settings of my Win 2003 machine? I run the original PHP/MySQL and my ASP.NET/MSSQL on a Windows 2003 machine.

I went through the whole requests.php file and this is the information that I return.
Common
------
Result:1 -> Invalid password for user.
Result:2 -> Unable to find auto-created user.
Result:3 -> No username or password specified.
Result:4 -> Wrong database username/password
Result:5 -> TrackMe application incompatible version.
Action 'Delete'
---------------
Result:0 -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Delete Trip'
--------------------
Result:6 -> Trip not specified.
Result:7 -> Trip not found.
Result:0 -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Add Trip'
--------------------
Result:6 -> Trip not specified.
Result:0 -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Rename Trip'
--------------------
Result:6 -> Trip not specified.
Result:7 -> New name not specified.
Result:0 -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Find Closest buddy'
--------------------
Result:6 -> No positions for selected user found
Result:7 -> No positions from other users found.
Result:0|[RESULTS] -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Get Trip List'
--------------------
Result:[RESULTS]
Action 'Get Icon List'
--------------------
Result:[RESULTS]
Action 'Upload'
---------------
Result:6 -> Unable to create trip.
Result:0 -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Update Image URL'
-------------------------
Result:0 -> The operation finished successfully.
Action 'Find Closest Position by time'
--------------------------------------
Result:6 -> Date not specified
Result:7 -> No positions for selected user found
Result:0|[RESULTS] -> The operation finished successfully.
I think all seems coherent except Get trip list and Get icon list which should return Result:0|[Results] instead of Result:[Results]
I will probably change that for the next version.
And yes, I could have added many other error codes but I only included the ones that looked more important.

Hello ..
It me...I know its me......
I need to run my own server.(The data will be essential that I can back it up and keep it)
I installed suse10.3, apache2 and mysql5.01
Apache is working (I run some other web pages)
Connectivity is good (I host some game servers)
And the trackme server installed ok (The db table were created and the config.php has the good values.
Problem is when the mobile6 tries to update it displays a message cannot connect to db. When I swap it all back to your fine 'n dandy server it uploads ok.
I used the suggested path in the server readme ie webroot/trackme
and the permissioms have been set appropriately.
The apachelogs are not giving much away..other than complaining about undefined language variable in language.php....I am guessing that this is because there is no data in the db as yet.
Is there something I can check? Am I missing something obvious??
I don't have a domain or static IP i use dyndns...so my url is xxxxx.dyndns.org is this causing the issue?????
Regards John
EDIT***Just been tinkering around. The apache2 access logs do show the connection from the mobile to the web server ...
api.home - - [23/Apr/2008:10:17:05 +0100] "GET /trackme/requests.php?action=upload&username=user&password=password&lat=51.45353345&long=-2.10996718333333&dateadded=2008-4-23%2010:20:0&dateoccurred=2008-4-23%209:8:24&speed=0&altitude=106&db=2&tripname=Test HTTP/1.0" 200 2567 "-" "-"
So the dyndns cannot be the issue..It must be as is reported that it cannot connect to DB? But the install script worked like a charm and the tables have been created (The install was ran from another machine not local host)

Called ..../trackme/requests.php with the querystring above and it returned Result:4
When I hard code the DB variables into the request.php then it all works as expected...
So the require_once("config.php"); is not reading the variables on page load.
config.php is readable...any clues please
***It is definately config.php is NOT being read, I guess it is a php.ini setting?
******Darn it if I give config.php a bad path and have display_errors = On then I get a stream error. So config.php is read......
My site is currently working with the variables in the header of each php page ;-(....working but not ideal.

At the moment the server is working perfectly ;-) It would be nice to use the config.php as it was designed... Im sure its a php/apache config issue ;-)

hello everybody
I have a fujitsu siemens loox n560 and trackme worked without any problems until I installed the "GPS Instant Fix" from the fujitsu-siemens supportpage.
http://support.fujitsu-siemens.com/Download/ShowDescription.asp?SoftwareGUID=3058C5DC-8CAC-46FF-928D-A62E46253450&OSID=CB706A19-7671-4137-AFF7-6BB915E16AC4&Status=True&Component=Application%20-%20Service%20Patch
the patch is supposed to make the first gpsfix alot faster, because a programm lets you download the trajectory information of the satellites for the next 3 days. the firmware update for the sirf-III chip changed some settings from the gps interface. before the fix the software-port was com8, hardware-port com4 and the baudrate was at 9600 and when i used com8 and 9600 in trackme it worked just fine. but now after the firmware update the default baudrate is set to 57600 (same hardware & software com's). I can't choose 57600 in trackme so I manually changed the loox gps interface settings to 9600 to see if that works in trackme, but it doesn't. (other programs like the gps-locator or navigon are still working fine and the fix is actually faster then before the firmware update).
when I choose the software-com(com8) & 9600 in the trackme settings (gps interface settings at 9600 or 57600) and I go back on the first screen and click on the gps "startbutton", my pda freezes. when I choose the hardware-com (com4) in the settings of trackme and then hit "start", the pda won't freeze and i see the gps indicator led flashing, but I can wait half an hour without getting a connection to a satellite.
do you guys think trackme could work if there would be a baud setting for 57600 ? trying other com's wont work either...
I hope someone can help me with this, i would so love to use trackme again. there is no downgrad available from fujitsu, so I cant get back to the original factory settings... :(
thank you :)
hello again :) Im still not able to use trackme since I updated the firmware of my pocket loox. has anyone an idea why or did anyone have the same problem? since siemens doesnt offer a downgrade im kinda stuck :/
best regards

I'm still having trouble getting this picture thing to work. I've changed the "pics" folder to 777 and any other combo just to try different things. I've used my FTP client and also my server control panel (cPanel) to set the permissions. Nothing seems to be working.
Why on earth would I still be getting this error? The owner is blank so this shouldn't be an issue.
I think this issue started about the time I updated to the latest version of the server file set but I'm not sure. Nothing else has changed.

If you are storing your data remotely, just uninstall the TrackMe client and install it again.
is it possible that its not working becasuse i can't choose 57600 for the baud rate in the trackme - gps settings. is there a reason why the highest rate is 14400? other gps programms are all working without any problems only trackme freezes when i hit "play". it freezes saying "trying to open com port..." the sqlservercompact 3.5 and the microsoft.net cf 3.5 are both installed as required and i tried to uninstall and reinstall trackme wihtout any changes :-/

(manage gps automatically is checked) navigon for example works just fine when i use com8 in the navigon settings and other applications work fine with com 8 too. but when i try using it in trackme it just freezes :( when i try com 4 in trackme (which is my hardware port) the gps indicator led starts to flash like it does in other gps applications and trackme does not freeze... but it wont get a connection to any satelites... trying the settings like in the thread from the faq wont work either...

New version available!!
ok... finally is here... it wasn't easy but I finally found the way to do it.
The stealth mode!
- Added new option to start the program minimized (Stealth mode). This option
is available under Config->General (Advanced settings)
I have tried it on 2 different PDAs, one with WM5 and another with WM6. It works fine on both. I hope you guys don't have any problems either.
Enjoy!

Staryon,
I just got my Touch enabled with GPS over the weekend, so i started playing with TrackMe. Overall its very,very nice, and seems to be solid (although my gps at this point isnt :p). I do have a few questions though.
1) Using an NMEA log file from my gps, I was able to create a .kml file that would actually give me time navigation in GE, so I could allow the .kml waypoint to move through the path in time, animating. Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong where I cant see the time navigation? (note this question isnt for the real time tracking
2) Is there a problem storing gps positions every 15 secs, or even every 10? I assume on a 3g bandwidth there shouldnt really be an issue.
3) What do your server stats look like? :)
4) I tried the send position by email today, and it did not work. This is due to the fact that I am running flexmail. Anychance of getting that to work with flexmail?
5) I see where you can change the gps sampling rate, but cannot see where the settings is to tell how frequently to upload to the server. I take it that is not a configurable event. I could see wanting to hold on to the data and only transmit upwards of 5/10 min bursts, although I really dont know how useful this would be.
I read through about 10% of the posts before I couldnt take it anymore :) Congrats on a really great program. Ive used it in conjunction with other gps apps and it rides along just fine.

Hi,
New version available!!
I have tried it on 2 different PDAs, one with WM5 and another with WM6. It works fine on both. I hope you guys don't have any problems either.I have just tested the new version on a HTC TyTNII. (French version)
This new version functions perfectly, not of detected problem.
Large a thank you for this splendid program, and your constant improvements.
On the other hand, I always encounter problems for uploader the images on my server, the invariable response of this one is: error:403/Forbidden. (server is : infomaniak.ch)
Tank's a lot
Best regards
Nb: only for French users / Pour utilisateurs free.fr
the version serveur, does not function on the FAI "free.fr" certainly a problem with the CHMOD which one cannot adjusting.
<Je n'ai ps réussi à faire fonctionner le serveur chez free.fr, certainement le chmod que l'on ne peut régler chez eux.>

Doesn't that work when you export data from TrackMe to a kml file?
2) Is there a problem storing gps positions every 15 secs, or even every 10? I assume on a 3g bandwidth there shouldnt really be an issue.
There are several reasons. One is because when you use the web viewer it will take a long time to load if you have so many positions (just imagine a 5 hour trip with all those positions) The same with Google Earth. It also looks very cluttered. On the other hand, since most users are using my free server and I already have thousands of users it could make the server to respond slower.
3) What do your server stats look like? :)
I haven't checked that in a long time. Not sure now.
4) I tried the send position by email today, and it did not work. This is due to the fact that I am running flexmail. Anychance of getting that to work with flexmail?
ok, I'll do some testing with flexmail.

Hi volwrath,
Doesn't that work when you export data from TrackMe to a kml file?
Nope does not work. If one clicks on the individual waypoints the bearings,
altitude, position show up, but in the upper right I see no time navigation display. Note this is for prerecorded tracks. From a nmea log converted with gpsbabel I do see the time navigation and can animate through the whole track. Its not a huge deal as I am just playing around.
ok, I'll do some testing with flexmail.
Regards
Cool thanks. I found a workaround was to sms to myself and then pull it up in flexmail and forward it, but that is somewhat clunky.
On another note, my company's websense has you blocked, so I cant show anyone your excellent app. Grr I might have to go get a godaddy webhost and attempt to install it myself. Although I have no experience with php or mysql, I have friends who do, so I might be able to pull it off.

It would be possible a new funcionality?
I think that we can record our positions and send this to the server each (for example) 1 hour (connecting via GPRS/3G and disconnecting).
In this way, the cost of the connection is more cheaper.
All the positions are recorded in the device (memory or SD, of course), and every time (one hour, 15 minutes,... configurable) the data will be send to a server to view via Google Maps (for example).
What do you think about?
Thx, and sorry for my bad, bad, english.

Anyone have an older copy of the self-managed server package?
I'm beginning to wonder if an update didn't kill it for me. It used to work, now it doesn't and I'm not the only one with permission issues uploading photos.
Darth - that functionality is there already - you can specify how often it uploads and you can specify that it should disconnect after each upload. Get the latest version - your wishes have already been granted.

I have the version 3.4.2.70 latest download, and I am not seeing those settings.
On the GPS tab I see the GPS disconnect button. On a side note I also see on that tab I see the log gps positions to a file. What does that checkmark do or why should I check it?
On the storage menu I see store gps positions every _ min and _ secs. I assume that tells the program the sampling rate for the gps. On the Live tracking tab, when I select Generate GPX file, it says that feature is not currently available, but I see it is in the todo's.
Finally on the remote screen I see username/pass, connection timeout (i assume that is in secs) and an offline data section. What I don't see is where to tell the phone to upload the coordinates every __ secs, unless that is the connection timeout ?!?
Thanks
So - If you set it to upload every "x" minutes/seconds, and then on the GPS tab check disconnect/connect GPS between uploads, does that not fix your issues?

Well, first of all its not really an issue for me, I am just trying to see how this works. Say I wanted to samples gps coordinates every 3 mins and then upload those 20 coordinates every hour. What would be the proper settings to configure? How about a sample every 15 seconds but only uploaded once/hour?
I guess my question is does the Store GPS position every __ tell the frequency of coordinates to download or the actual time to update remotely, or both. My guess would be both in remote mode, ie there is not currently a way to do what darthjuanan has asked, except to store locally, and then upload manually.
Then you are screwed!
Here are your two options -
1. Real time uploads and set how often it does this in between each sampe.
2. batch mode - you upload it when you are ready.
You are wanting an automatic batch mode upload periodically nd that is not in the paradigm of the programmer.

Darth - that functionality is there already - you can specify how often it uploads and you can specify that it should disconnect after each upload. Get the latest version - your wishes have already been granted.
Someone asked about:
1. uploading with a longer amount of time in between each upload AND
2. the ability to disconnect after each upload so that they could save connection fees.
THOSE two features are there. What is NOT there is the feature set that you want - the ability to take measurements every 30 seconds to one minute - then upload the batch every hour.
Now - what you want is actually cool - My guess would be that you could ask the programmer if he has thought about letting you accumulate a KML file locally on the phone and then upload it hourly?

I agree with you that it would be cool, but for me it is not unnecessary. I took that to be Darth's request, because he was worried about datacharges over gprs, and would rather send 1 burst hourly or so (although the data traffic should be roughly the same I would think)
staryon
01-05-2008, 05:04 PM
I agree that feature can be useful sometimes. However, if you plan to upload data every hour you are not really interested in realtime tracking.
For that reason, I think it's better to keep what we already have, and select manually when you want to upload offline positions.
In order to do that, just go to the Remote tab, Offline Data and select 'Always'
When you are ready to upload that offline data, just select the option 'Upload Offline data'

hey guys... just to let you know that I'm already working on a version that extracts the GPS info from pictures so you can match those pictures with existing data.
bad news. I haven't found a way of doing this yet. There are not libraries that retrieve that information from an image file. At this moment I think the only way is going directly to the file and try to find that information from there which can be complicated... I think I will leave this for later. :(
What else do you guys really want in TrackMe? You can check my to-do list and let me know what you consider more important.

Sorry if this is a repeated question...but hard to search 233 pages of previous forum posts.
I've downloaded TrackMe and it looks to be a good program...but I do have some problems with it. Is there a way to install it to run in the background? I would like to have it report my position...but it only works if the program is active in the foreground (at least from what I've been able to see.)
I want to be able to have it load on bootup of my phone...but continue to run in the background if I click the X at the top right. (Only real option I have is to turn the "Screen Off") but in this way my keypad isnt locked.
OR...setup some kind of timer that will run the program every X minutes and will auto terminate the program after every successful run.

Hi clstan,
When you click the X at the top right it should not close the application.
Maybe you are using a program that does that by default.
There is an option in Configuration to minimize TrackMe as soon as it start so it will work in Stealth mode.
There is not anything to start the program when WM starts though. But you can do that by adding a link to the program in the start folder.
Hope it helps

Just a word of caution - I just got a mogul and the default 'X' behavior is to actually kill the app. This can be turned off in settings. The god-awful battery life of the mogul (as compared to my old treo) was what drove me to use TrackMe instead of navizon, 3dtracking, etc - the 'disconnect/connect gps' option allows me to get a good 10+ hours of live 5-minute updates out of the standard 1500ma battery.
This is a fantastic application (and service)! Thank you so much for it!

hey staryon,
as i'm one of those who has requested the proxy server feature i have to say that o2 germany doesn't use a proxy any more. i don't now about others, but for me (and other o2 ger users as far as i know), this feature isn't neccessary any more... but there may be others..!
well, this stealth mode feature is really nice. at the moment, i'm using trackme on a polaris and it's working fine. the only thing is, that the orange LED is flashing because gps is active. it would be 'real stealth' if the light wouldn't flash. i know that there are apps out there which can change this. it's possible to change colors and maybe turn them off completely (i'm not sure about this) and i don't know, if it can be done without restarting the device. would be nice if trackme would turn the gps LED off only while it's running in stealth mode. ( but this is only an idea, not a request... as i have no idea if there are LEDs on a kaiser actually ;-) )
so far, really great app! it's so much fun using it!

ok, thanks for letting me know! I will remove it from the list.
I'm not sure about your other request. I'll check on the internet just in case there is something.
By the way, I'm curious how many people are using this as a spy tool.
That was not my intention when I started writing this but it seems there are plenty of people using TrackMe for that...
One more thing, I finally found the way of getting the GPS information out of the images! That's good news. It was really really complicated but I got it to work. I hope I can have a new version with this feature by the end of this weekend.
1. love this program
2. I would not remove any features (proxy) while this guy might not need it anymore who knows how many others need this capability?
3. I do not use it as a spy tool - it is too easy to STOP to be useful for that. (IMHO)

i'm sorry, if i was misunderstood. others might need this proxy feature, but as there was only one other person (from germany as i remember) who requested this, i thought i had to say something about it. if there are people out there waiting for staryon to build this proxy thing, they should post it...
and i'm not really sure how i would use this stealth mode. i would definitely not use trackme as a spy tool, as i am only running it on my phone and i never EVER give away my phone! ;-) ... but if it got lost, or worse: if someone steals it, it would be usefull, if trackme runs in the backround and "calls home" every hour maybe... i'm not quite sure, why this stealth mode was requested in the first place, but i think, if it's invented this far, make it complete... :cool:
... i'm looking forward to the possibility to merge gps images with existing data. this piece of software has been developed very far! i hope, if staryon might sell it in the future, it will be half the price for members of this forum! ;)

Hi staryon,
I'm having some problems implementing the picture upload. I can 'post' pictures to my upload.ashx file fine, but TrackMe gives me HTTP error 500. Can you tell me how you implemented this in the TrackMe client?
One of the hardest parts, translating the SQL commands to VB LINQ (and fine tuning the MS SQL databse) is done, the only trouble is translating the findclosestbuddy function in LINQ, I'm thinking about not implementing this at all...
Yesterday I've ordered 2.6 KG of paper, bundeled and named "ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed", maybe that will speed things up a little...

Hey folks,
First, thanks for the GREAT software! :)
Next, I had a very frustrating moment today. I went on a run, ran 4.5 miles with TrackMe operating the whole way, and then managed to accidentally delete all of my data from my run. I am so bummed out over that!!!
I was switching from trackme back to camera and I really don't know what happened. All I know is that there was a message on the screen saying that all prior data had been deleted.
I'd like to therefore ask (as a feature request, I might even PAY for it) a couple of options. First, it'd be nice for some confirmation message before deleting data. Next, maybe a backup option or periodic upload option? For instance, if I could say "upload" or "write to a new file" every 10 minutes, that would be nice.
Any other thoughts?
Again, thanks for the great tool. I guess I will just have to repeat that run! :)

New version available!!
ok guys... after many many hours trying to get this I finally found a way of
retrieving the GPS exif data from a jpeg file.
With this new version, when uploading offline pictures, TrackMe will try to retrieve the GPS information stored in the file and it will compare it with the existing positions that are on the server.
If the closest position is too far, it will try to get the time when the picture was taken by looking at the exif data. If it doesn't exist or it's unable to match it, the time from the file itself will be taken.
For people using their server:
I have made changes in requests.php
By the way, at this moment I am only processing one format of GPS data from the exif data. It seems that depending on the GPS model this information may be stored differently. The one that I am able to read is like this:
N 39d 1m 35.00s
If your GPS is storing this information differently just let me know and I will add the new format to TrackMe.
Have fun!

Hi Paul,
I'm sorry for what happened. When deleting positions a confirmation message pops up. So it seems that the option YES was also pressed accidentally while you were running.
Regarding the backup feature... is difficult to do. If you are using your own server I suggest you to configure it to make backups automatically. I think that´s possible to do, but I have never tried it myself.

Hello Staryon, thank you for this wonderful program. I am very new to programs like this so I have a few questions:
1) In order to update to the latest version, do I have to uninstall the current version and reinstall? Or is there another way to do it (so I can keep my settings)?
2) What is GeoFence? How/Why is it used?
3) I want to use TrackMe while I am jogging - will I be able to measure how far I ran (I run in a circle around a park, so I just need to know the distance of one lap)?
4) How exactly does uploading pictures work, and what is the purpose? Is it as simple as taking a picture while TrackMe is running in the background and the gps coordinates are embedded onto the picture, or is it something else?
Sorry for all of the questions, but I just want to make sure that I am getting proper use out of this program. Again I am very new to PPC's and GPS as well.
Thanks!!!

Hi staryon,
I'm having some problems implementing the picture upload. I can 'post' pictures to my upload.ashx file fine, but TrackMe gives me HTTP error 500. Can you tell me how you implemented this in the TrackMe client?
One of the hardest parts, translating the SQL commands to VB LINQ (and fine tuning the MS SQL databse) is done, the only trouble is translating the findclosestbuddy function in LINQ, I'm thinking about not implementing this at all...
Yesterday I've ordered 2.6 KG of paper, bundeled and named "ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed", maybe that will speed things up a little...
Hi Bluediss,
I basically send a HTTP post command with a form. This form contains the picture. The header of the HTTP request is this one:
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="uploadfile"; filename="temp.jpg"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Hope it helps.

Hi Staryon,
Since you asked for updates/features, here is what I would request:
1) Put Export Data and Manage Trips on the same page. This would be useful when you built up alot of Auto routes and want to rename them to something useful. You dont have to flip between two screens
2) Time navigation in GE doesn't work AFAIK. In the top right I never see the time navigation to skip between the waypoints. I can see the time etc per waypoint, but its not the same if you wanted to watch a simulated animation of your travels. This isnt that big a deal because if one is so interested, one can simply log the NMEA locally by many other methods.
3) fix the mail position to pass data to flexmail (an easy fix would be to just copy all that stuff to clipboard and let the user handle it)
Now more pie in the sky stuff..
If you really wanted to get crazy, you could allow user/user interaction on the client side. Allow one user to poll another users position. have a chat system to pass messages etc The possibilities are really endless with the backbone you have built.

However, after releasing the latest update and since I haven't seen any comments about this feature that everybody was asking for it and believe me... it took me a long long time to do, I think I'm going to take a break on TrackMe and work on other project and I have been postponing for a long time.
I will keep updating TrackMe if any bugs are found but I will not add any new features for a while.

Hello Staryon, thank you for this wonderful program. I am very new to programs like this so I have a few questions:
1) In order to update to the latest version, do I have to uninstall the current version and reinstall? Or is there another way to do it (so I can keep my settings)?
2) What is GeoFence? How/Why is it used?
3) I want to use TrackMe while I am jogging - will I be able to measure how far I ran (I run in a circle around a park, so I just need to know the distance of one lap)?
4) How exactly does uploading pictures work, and what is the purpose? Is it as simple as taking a picture while TrackMe is running in the background and the gps coordinates are embedded onto the picture, or is it something else?

Hi kcrumbley,
1. From TrackMe, in the About window you can download the latest version and be installed automatically.
2. A Geofence is a virtual fence around a designated area that is determined by the user. You can send an email or SMS when the user enter/leaves the area.
3. This program is not really intended for that but I think that from the web viewer there is an option when you get the total distance of a trip. Not sure
about that because I haven't written that plugin.
4. Yes, check my previous post where I explain how EXIF data from an image is used.
Hope it helps.

I dont blame you for taking a development break. Evidently trackme development has been going on for quite a while! (and a lot of pages)
I will try out the new photo mode although I dont know if it will work on my vogue or not. Thanks for trackme in its current form. I may attempt to install a server in the near future so I can increase the upload rate to 15secs. (+ so I can get around websense at work) It is definitely a very nice app as is. Thanks for all you've done!
VW
PS anyone know of a cheaper hosting service than GODaddy? Its $4.30 or so/month and trackme would be the first thing I would put on it.

hello,
after many many hours trying to get this I finally found a way of
retrieving the GPS exif data from a jpeg file.
Thank you very much for invested time, and this very interesting option.
The one that I am able to read is like this: N 39d 1m 35.00s
It is perfect for model HTC TyTNII (French version)
it will try to get the time when the picture was taken by looking at the exif data
Still not been able to test this option, not having solved my problem yet: “error:403 Forbidden”
For people using their server: I have made changes in requests.php
I put this last version, it requires the very last version of Trackme for PPC.
These two last versions (Server and PC) functions without problem.
I on the other hand encounter a problem of posting of the “popUp” on the serveur, according to if the window of zoom is present or not, posting is done differently
Example :
Good : (No windows for zoom)
http://www.enregistrersous.com/images2/14337095320080505190024.jpg
No Good : (Windows for zoom)
http://www.enregistrersous.com/images2/164635785120080505190128.jpg
Concerning the "error:403 Forbidden", have an example of what is sent on the server for uploader a image, I will like to make tests with the PC.
Thank you for the support that you bring to us, and this excellent program

I've just had a little play with this, it sure is a sweet app :)
What settings are people using for when walking or for riding?
In the end for riding I just had it updating every 5 seconds and disabled don't store consecutive points.
One nice feature is using a kml -> gpx converter then importing into mapmyride.com, then set start points and it gives you distance, elevation etc.
New version available!!
ok guys... after many many hours trying to get this I finally found a way of
retrieving the GPS exif data from a jpeg file.
With this new version, when uploading offline pictures, TrackMe will try to retrieve the GPS information stored in the file and it will compare it with the existing positions that are on the server.
If the closest position is too far, it will try to get the time when the picture was taken by looking at the exif data. If it doesn't exist or it's unable to match it, the time from the file itself will be taken.
For people using their server:
I have made changes in requests.php
By the way, at this moment I am only processing one format of GPS data from the exif data. It seems that depending on the GPS model this information may be stored differently. The one that I am able to read is like this:
N 39d 1m 35.00s
If your GPS is storing this information differently just let me know and I will add the new format to TrackMe.
Have fun!
This is great, adding the ability to co-locate photos with accurate GPS data was a fantastic idea and I shall certainly be making the most of it!!
Thanks Staryon!!

webserver says
One or more TrackMe tables in your database are empty. You must generate data by running the TrackMe application on your Windows Mobile device before the map display will work properly.
phone says uploading offline 40. blah
unable to create trip
offline process finished
Some positions have not been uploaded
You need to run this process again later.
my domain of server is

i did put the 82 in the port and if i use the show position on map it works on my server http://trackme.gspro2k.com:82/trackme/gm.php?lat=blah&long=blah

Staryon,
Would it be possible to add a "searching for satellites" timeout option that would be in effect when the "disconnect/connect" option is enabled? I was at the eye doctor today and trackme drained my battery because it was searching for satellites the entire time and I didn't catch it. I'm thinking that if satellites are not found within the set timeframe, trackme will shut off the GPS, wait for the specefied time between connections and then try again.
Thanks!

It's a good idea. I think I will end up adding that feature. However, as I mentioned in one of my previous posts I'm going to stop adding new features for a while, and I will be only fixing existing bugs. I will add it to the to-do list though.

However, there are no pictures present in that screen - not a filename or a thumb. When I try clicking on "Add" the program halts with the following errors:

or does it overwrite with each new coordinate?

Sorry but TrackMe doesn't do that. You have the 'Find nearest buddy' feature but that's not really what you want. That will only tell you how far is the closest user using the server.

Why don't you use 'Remote mode', 'Always upload offline' and you decide when to upload to the server?

cause i want to check the track, so i need many points... les than 5 seconds exactly.
but i don't want phone always transmitting, so a 1 or 2 minutes transmission will safe battery life. Many softs run like that.
I plan to have offline data store when offline, and transmitting as soon as cell network is ok. cause "no gap" required too...
But if you don't want... i will understand.

(copied from http://www.luisespinosa.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1656)
I wanted an easy way to view the KML uploaded by TrackMe to luisespinosa.com on a different WM device. The only option I found was Google Maps for Mobile, which can display KML. It works but doesn't include all the description. I thought it would be nice to have a quick way to see the map without loading GMM. I wrote a tiny little app that loads a KML file and displays the last 3 points using the Google static maps image API. I think this makes it much easier for someone to see your location in Pocket IE.
The UI is very bare. Try it out at
http://statickml.appspot.com/
If you find bugs or want to improve this please see http://code.google.com/p/statickml/ I don't promise to read everything posted to this thread.
Ideally this feature could be ported to jcleek's Custom Viewer or maps.google.com/?q=path_to_kml will be extended to display maps without javascript.

I think I found where the problem is.
Windows Mobile 6 already comes with a port splitter enabled which Kaiser and Tilt users are already using by default.
If you go to START->SETTINGS->SYSTEM, there is a tool called 'External GPS' (aka GPS Intermediate Driver)
If I run it, I see the following:
My actual built in GPS port is COM5, using the built in port splitter my virtual GPS port is COM8
If I start up TrackMe!, and set the GPS port to be COM8, when I click the Green Arrow, my device hangs - have to do a soft reset.
TrackMe! set to COM5 works fine, but then I cannot run TomTom at the same time.
TomTom works fine with either COM5 or COM8 as its GPS port.
I have a HTC X7500 ( Athena ) running WM 6.1 (AP4.0).
Anyone else seen the same problem?

Hi folks,
First of all: this is a great program, compliments to the author!
I have installed a clean copy of TrackMe on my Tytn II and that worked well. I also installed the php-server files in post 1 (installation package) to upload the data to my own server. That worked out well: database tables created successfully. I also inserted the API key when I opened the install.php file (API-key registered on my root domain, not a subfolder such as trackme).
I edited the settings on the config - remote tab in TrackMe to match my server settings and also inserted a username and password. After that I started trackme.
The error message I receive when trackme is starting the first upload after 30 seconds: Error uploading position: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error
BTW I think that the username and password are not inserted in the MySQL database I use. I am not really into php and mysql but when I look into the database using phpmyadmin, I can't find the username and password that I inserted in Trackme.
Do you have any idea what I might have done wrong?
BTW, when using the default settings from luisespinosa everuything works well. Trackme does upload the data and I can watch the data on luisespinosa.com as well.

crazyy.. this keeps getting better..
i just thought of somthing..
Remote Controlled Stealth Mode.. as in starting up stealth mode remotely, say if u where to loose your phone.. or if someone were to steal it.. or if ur planning on letting someone borrow your phone...
its like having a remote low processing application in the background that can initiate the other application when its called upon.. kinda like orb.

I have thought of that too... I like that option.. But you could put the file or short cut in startup and enable Start Minimized (Stealth Mode) and Start process when application starts under advanced settings.. Would do the same thing more or less just would eat battery.. But that is an option I have thought of....
Love the app.. Use it to track my runs accross the United States with my own server and also wife can see where im at... ... Kudos..

What does TrackMe use to upload images to the server? I'm still trying to figure out why my server is forbidding my phone to upload when I have the pics folder set to 777.
Anyone else encounter this and solve it? Or encounter this and are still working to solve it?

yeah... I think it's not really necessary to have another application to do the same thing. You can get that just by using TrackMe and doing what you suggested.

So I contacted my host to see if they knew what the issue was and here is my reply:
Here is the error from Apache's error log:
[Fri May 23 01:26:26 2008] [error] [client 166.217.250.113] mod_security: Access denied with code 403. Error processing request body: Multipart: final boundary missing [severity "EMERGENCY"] [hostname "mydomain.com"] [uri "/trackme/upload.php?username=myname&password=********&db=3&action=pic&newname=myname12621.jpg&"] [unique_id "SDZVf0IHyxMAAB5@EAk"]
mod_security is installed on your server and it is catching the upload requests because part of the MIME "package" that gets sent to the server was missing.
Was this script working previously and this just started happening?
My last photo that was uploaded was on the 3rd of April. They have all failed since then. Is this something you can help with staryon? I have no idea what package is missing.

turtle2472,
Sorry about that but as I mentioned several times I don't have too much experience configuring web servers. I think there are many users that use TrackMe who have a lot experience configuring web servers. I don't know why they don't offer some help... :(
----
By the way, a small note for all users...
I always check this thread from any problems that users are having, and I always try to help if I have any clue of what may causing the issue. If you don't see me replying is because I don't really know how to resolve that problem. As you guys may understand I cannot reply any single post that I don't know the solution and just say: 'Sorry but I don't know'
Believe me that if I have any single clue I will reply with an answer.
And please, don't post the question here and also send me a private message with the same question, I already visit this thread several times a day and if I know how to help I will answer your question right away.
Hope you guys can understand my point ;)

just downloaded this prog, works great on my tytnII in the UK. Thank you. Question. do I have to have a data session active all the time trackme is actively tracking - this potentially costs me money and uses up my monthly data allowance). I can't find an option to save the tracking data and then upload it al at once?? Or am I missing something?

Hi jbevan,
There is an option here:
Configuration->Remote->Offline Data->Always
And when you are ready to upload just go to Tools->Upload Offline Data

This isn't as much for you staryon as it is for others who are facing this same issue as me. Here is the explanation from my hosting Admin:
From the error logs, we could see that the problem was caused due to mod_security. We've made certain changes in the .htaccess for the domain and the security access blocks for the domain are thus removed.
Please recheck if everything works as desired. :-) Thank you for your co-operation, understanding and patience in this matter.

My reasoning for asking you, staryon, was because my first response indicated that a part of the photo "package" was missing during the upload and I wasn't sure if that was something you needed to be involved with.
I try not to bug you. :) Thanks for your work though as I do rather love this program. My wife gets to watch where I'm going when I go on service runs and such. It's kinda nice being able to let her be a part of my day while I'm out and about.
So if the iPhone ends up with 3G and GPS are you going to make a version of TrackMe for it? :p

The only reason I can think of is if the transfer times out. However I don't think it's the problem because it happens to you all the time.

Thanks for this - that option wasn't showing because Hide Advanced Settings option was checked by default. Sorted. Have you developed a Symbian version yet, btw, for use in Nokia phones?

Good. I'm glad it works.
Sorry but at this moment I don't plan to develop a version from Symbian. Maybe someday :rolleyes:

I've tested it a few times over now and I can upload pictures again. Seems that my host set the mod_security thing and it blocked my uploads. All is well now for me. Those others with this issue might want to check your .htaccess and mod_security settings.

my pm to Staryon
Hi staryon,
I have just got a 'missing method exception in trackme.exe' with the latest version as at last night(24/05/08).
I installed the pre-reqs and then installed trackme.
Any ideas???
BTW this is just the thing i was looking for for doing the london to brighton charity cycle ride and mapping my progress over the 54 miles.
well done and keep it up - I am sure I just have a duff version or its user error ;)
cheers

Hi,
First at all, check this post (where it says 'small note for users'):

Regarding your question, what PDA are you using? TrackMe is not compatible with smartphones.
