*TrackMe* GPS/CellID Tracking tool for Google Earth & Google Maps *UPDATED 10/22/08*

[mmoroz]

thank you for the fun program!

small problem -- i must be missing something very simple

trackme works fine -- the log shows everything is uploaded to the server correctly:

Uploading ...
Position addded correctly
Generating remote kml file
Remote kml file generated correctly
Skipped: dist. .99 meters
etc etc

but when I'm trying to use Google Maps (or direct URL) to view the kml file, it's not there. I even changed my username to try it again, but no luck. I checked the URL many times, it seems correct:

http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/(my username).kml

tried http://luisespinosa.com:80/ etc etc as well

error is "page not found"

also, when I tried to login to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php, it wouldn't let me (says username/password incorrect).

Thanks!

[grizzley]

To give some relief to staryon's server and to give benifits to others, I'd like to find an easy way to setup accouts on my server for other people to use this application with a database of their own.

[jcleek]

1) I want to add a link to my personal web page, so others can see my location on Google map. How do I use this link to auto log-on or how do I add username/password to the link, so it would log-on automatically (http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php)?

2) That web page shows my last location but it doesn't display the Trip. Does the Show Trip work for others?

Thanks for any help...

PS. THANKS for the TrackMe program. It is very cool.

http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php?username=????????&password=????????

Obviously you need to replace the ??????'s with your real user name and password.

And yes, the web page is working correctly displaying both trips and current location.

Did you check the boxes to create the remote KML file? Its in the config section under the REALTIME TRACKING tab.

The application will work on your server just like it works on Staryon's server. If you have the files installed and it works for you it will work for anyone. They can create an account on your server just like they do on Staryon's (automatically with the PDA application).

hi everyone!
top software, i have spent ages trying to find something like this!!
Quick question / development idea....
My Mrs came up with this as she has a Vario III as well...
Would it be possible for a "panic" feature to be introduced?? so literally a button on the phone is re-mapped so on a press and hold, it generates an "alarm" or "red alert" which sends a txt message of her location (or google maps url etc) to a specified number / email address? etc etc.

Just an idea... i thought it was a good one!

Thanks again!
Top app!

[staryon]

hi guys

I'm sorry that you guys haven't heard from me for a few days.
I was on travel overseas and I finally I have access to my computer.

jcleek, I checked my email but I didn't got anything from you.
Could you send me your latest changes?

Thanks

[staryon]

I've been messing around with TrackMe over the last week or so doing local tracking throughout the day in preparation for a trip abroad next week. It does eat battery as can be expected but it will survive the day with a usb battery pack to assist.

I've noticed one odd thing, I have the GPS set to get a fix every 2 minutes with power down inbetween, for the first couple of hours of run time it seems to run ok, after a while however, the status field shows 'Searching for satellites...' inbetween each fix indicating (to me) that the GPS hasn't actually powered down. This doesnt affect the fix's which proceed as normal but if it is the case is certainly having an adverse effect on my battery life! Unfortunatly I don't know any way of finding out directly if the GPS is powered or not to prove this theory!

Am I simply misinterpreting the status field here?

I will check it out.

[staryon]

1) I want to add a link to my personal web page, so others can see my location on Google map. How do I use this link to auto log-on or how do I add username/password to the link, so it would log-on automatically (http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php)?

not sure man... it there is more interest from other users I may do it. At this moment I have many new things to add so I cannot promise I will implement this.

This is a pretty good idea and one my Dad brought up when I was telling/showing him my TrackMe Web page...

It is at the same download link as before but I just emailed it to you as well.

Staryion:
Awesome software!!
Just to let you know that the TrackMe_Server.zip file is corrupted. I'm getting and error when extracting the files (Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header signature not found): disk #1 offset: 14063).
Can you please check?

[staryon]

sorry about that. Please try again.

[mmoroz]

Did you check the boxes to create the remote KML file? Its in the config section under the REALTIME TRACKING tab.

Yes of course I did. "Generate KML file" and "remote" both checked..

Maybe my username was too short (3 letters)? But it didn't complain..

Last weekend while I was on the plane, I run TrackMe for a few minutes.
I think it worked very well, here is a screenshot: :D

Hi Guys

I've been using trackme on my Prophet with a Bluetooth GPS for about a month and have been really impressed. Last week i recently became the owner of a Touch Dual, I've install the latest version of Trackme but im having an issue.

When i set the software going, it grabs the initial co-ords from the gps and updates to the website perfectly, but afte that, all i get is the message about skipping update cos ive not moved. If i turn off the option to skip updates if i havent moved X meters, it updates to the website, but the co-ord stays the same. Its like once its got the initial co-ords it cant get anymore from the gps.

I've tried a number of things, including getting trackme to use the bluetooth comport directly, via the WM6 gps sharing utility and even with Franson GPSGate, but the result is the same.
I've also tried uninstalling, manually removing the settings file and then reinstalling but that dont work either.

My gps device is working fine as I can use google maps to track my location.

Im using the latest version, which i beleive is 2.3.0.39.

Does anyone have any ideas as Im really stumped.

[staryon]

Could you enable the option 'Log GPS positions to a file' and if you got the error again, send it to me?

Thanks

[staryon]

jcleek,

I have a suggestion for you...

Do you think you can add an option to delete a trip (and it's positions) and another one to rename a trip name from the browser?

I don't have the option to rename the trip name in TrackMe, but I plan to add it.

Thanks

And add here to export to a local kml file from Browser ....

[staryon]

New version available!!

New features:

- Geofence
- Ability to select unit (Metric/English)
- For remote storage you can choose not to upload anything and store everything in the remote file. This is good if you know that you are not going to have internet connection and you don't want to be trying to reconnect all the time. Later you can upload this offline data.

[staryon]

Next version will include the ability to upload images.

However before doing that I want to have a stable version, so I'm going to spend some time cleaning my code and optimizing some routines.

[z_zk_z]

I have a file called route.kml on my AT&T Tilt Pocket PC (which I checked it with Google Earth and it shows my GPS locations) and I want to upload it to the free server. When I go to upload that file (Tools/Upload offline positions), I get an error telling me: You don’t have offline positions stored. I also tried the Tools/Export GPS Positions (with source=local, destination= remote), and it tells me .kml file uploaded correctly (File http://luisespinosa.com:80/trackme/routes/zzkz.kml), however the free server only shows the world map and not my GPS locations. Can anyone recommend something for me to try to fix this issue? THANKS

[staryon]

I don't know if I understand. You cannot upload a kml file...

Where do you have your data stored locally or remotely?

[mbritten]

anyone else have troubles installing the newest .cab?

[adebilloez]

I was using this application with my own server without any problem but now I'm getting in trouble by using the 2 last version of cab and Server.

Everything seems correct:

* Application (ppc) connect, say position uploaded , able to list track
* Web part working fine (show older track...)

If I create a new track the track is created in the database. but no position is stored...

I assume the error is coming because install.php doesn't update my older position table with appropriate columns (for speed and altitude?)

Columns exist as this : Altitude double No 0 ->no null accepted is this could be the cause?

Is it possible to help me on how to update position table ?
If not what could be the cause?

Thnaks for the help!

[staryon]

Please check my previous posts, when I released the version that included altitude and speed, I posted a script that updates the database for people using their own servers.

Thanks for you update! I finally manage to get the correct search keyword to found the Alter.

But it seems that database is ok, I have this for "positions" table :
ID int(11) No auto_increment
FK_Users_ID int(11) No 0
FK_Trips_ID int(11) Yes NULL
Latitude double No 0
Longitude double No 0
DateAdded timestamp Yes CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
DateOccurred timestamp Yes 0000-00-00 00:00:00
Altitude double Yes 0
Speed double Yes 0

is this ok ?->DateOccurred timestamp Yes 0000-00-00 00:00:00
i'm in french reginal settings.

I'm pretty sure that is coming from my database structure ... but why ? And the applic report me that the upload is succesfull.

I am not really sure how I would do this for a public server implementation. I will have to think about it. It may well be the right thing just to only offer a private setup.

[staryon]

the applic report me that the upload is succesfull.

This only tells you if the command was sent to the database or not. It doesn't tell you the result of the command once was executed.

I assume that you also updated the php files on your server, right?

Hi Staryon

Geofence -great idea. I can't appear to get it to work though. I have my home lat/long entered and a 250m "fence". It's enabled but doesn't send an email (btw could it have an SMS option too - more instant and direct).

What is the "Notified" tickbox. Does this show it has triggered?

Thanks for a great app!

What value did you entered exactly in the Distance field?

Yes, the Notified checkbox shows if it was triggered.

Not sure about SMS... maybe if I find a way of using Outlook internally I may get it. The problem with this is everything needs to be done automatically without user interaction.

[mbritten]

I think the geo fence is cool too. One bug I noticed though. when you first go to add an alert, it asks for the distance in meters, (even if "english" is selected in config) BUT when you go back in edit the alert it changed to either km or Miles depending on config. SO if you go in the first time and enter 250 meters (which is the unit it's asking for) it actually sets it for 250 km or 250 miles.

[bwired]

I'm I right that the option to log to your own server is NOT in the trackme program anymore. Cant seem to find it anymore

[warmkiwi99]

Aha, yes. Didn't notice the KM for the geofence radius. Thought it was metres! Will try again.....

Still no trigger. USed 1km from my office to trigger when outside. didn't fire
Then changed it for my journey back to trigegr when inside. that didn't fire either.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

[turtle2472]

I'm sure I should know this...but how do I download the cab file in Pocket IE? All I get when clicking the link is a text rendering of the cab.

How did you enter the lat and long? manually?

[staryon]

Try with right click and save as...

[turtle2472]

I don't have a right click. When I try to hold the stylus (or finger) on the link it immediately follows the link rather than bringing up a menu. :\ Oh well, I'll just go through my Mac to install it. I was hoping to be able to get it directly from the first post though.

i use a program called download accelerator by winmoble then you just copy the link from pie and paste it in that program, or you can set it to intercept pie downloads automatically

No, from the button once the app was tracking positions. I'll check it on Google maps to see if it's accurate.

yes, work location was spot on.
and home too

I have tried to look through as many pages as possible (100+, GOOD LORD!) and i did not see anything in refrence to if this is a PPC only application. I tried it on my shadow and when i launch the app, i get an exception error and it has to quit.

In theory it should be compatible with any device running Windows Mobile and
Compact Framework.

Do you have installed Compact Framework 2.0?

Hi,
the tool works fine. But i've got the fellowing problem. Google Maps show me "Speed: 14.06 MPH (14.06 km/h). But thats wrong 1 MPH = 1,609344 km/h. Where i can setup the multiplicator?

Yes last .cab for the PPC and re-install( with the readme of jcleek) the 1.07 PHP.

Upload seems ok for a new track name ! it's only location that seems not written in the DB...very strange

[oliie]

Hi,

GREAT programme - and thanks for letting us use your server.

I've just sent you a small donation to say 'thank-you' via PayPal... and I look forward to the future developments (especially stealth mode...).

Thanks again

adebilloez,

It's difficult for me to tell you where is the problem unless I have access to your SQL tables and PHP code. I have the impression the problem is related with your tables. Something that you can try is to create a new database using the install script and compare that one with yours, and see if there is something different.

I REALLY appreciate your contribution and also to these other people who did that too. man... you don't know how many hours I'm spending on this (I never thought this program was going to go so far!) and that is a good motivation to keep the program updated!

Thanks again and I hope you have fun with the program!!

[daesimps]

First of all I'd like to thank Staryon and Jcleek for their continued efforts - it's nice to see an app evolve so much in such a short period of time.

Staryon - I have noticed that if you have the GPS set to turn off between points you can't use the force update/e-mail position functions. You also can't go into the Geofence and add "current location" as a marker as all these options rely on the GPS being on. Is it possible to make these functions activate the GPS in order to update your position?


Thanks
daesimps

[w01f]

Staryon,

Another thing i noticed is that when i put my Kaiser in landscape mode, i can't scroll down in the configuration menu. Would it be possible to add a scroll bar?

Sure. It shouldn't be a problem.

I noticed this was in quite an early post (page 11), and was wondering if you've had chance to implement it yet please?

Whilst configuring the Remote tab (in advanced mode) and entering in my server URL, I switch to landscape to enter the details, but can't scroll down to see all of the config fields.

Many thanks.

[warmkiwi99]

and home too

Tried again using the km fences and it now works OK. sorry for the posts saying it wasn't working. Will they keep firing or do I need to reset them to get them to trigger again?

Did i mention the possibility of sending an SMS as an option instead of an email? There must be a SendSMS API somewhere?

thanks

Hi Luis,

It would be great to support ASP websites as well as PHP.

So an extra option (checkbox) so send the data in ASP format to a server.
This would make the product even for more people to use!

I have create a working sample what a ASP server should receive

So it’s the text after the /gps/requests.asp what shout be send

/gps/requests.asp?username=knuvers&password=test&lat=51.7250665&long=5.30120716666667&dateadded=2007-12-5%2018:25:37&dateoccurred=2007-12-5%2018:25:36&tripname=&speed=&altitude=56 80 - 77.63.3.72 - 404 0 2

All the rest is the same. If you digg this I’m willing to test of course. I think it’s a very small adjustment for you and creating much more people with your great Trackme prog

Hope you can help

At this moment is complicated to do this. With my current implemention the only way of reading data from the GPS is when you press START. I could press START automatically when is required. However you will to have to be clicking over and over on 'add current location' because you don't really know when the GPS already got a right fix.
I don't think this looks very good, so I prefer not to change that by now.

not sure if I understand. What's the difference in the requests for PHP and ASP? Don't they look the same?

I can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere, but which version of MySQL does your server code support? I imagine it must be v5 because when I tried to import SQL commands into v4 I received the following error:

It's all fine on v5 but thought I'd mention it just in case.

[staryon]

Tried again using the km fences and it now works OK. sorry for the posts saying it wasn't working. Will they keep firing or do I need to reset them to get them to trigger again?

Did i mention the possibility of sending an SMS as an option instead of an email? There must be a SendSMS API somewhere?

thanks

When they are fired, I set the checkbox 'Notified' to true.
If you want it to fire again, you can uncheck it manually or just going to 'Reset notifications'

[staryon]

why I always cannot access to GPS...help...

is it any setting before use the GPS software??

thanks...

Please provide more information...
what pda are you using? type of GPS...

[staryon]

Thanks - great app by the way ;)

I can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere, but which version of MySQL does your server code support? I imagine it must be v5 because when I tried to import SQL commands into v4 I received the following error:



It's all fine on v5 but thought I'd mention it just in case.

yes, my server is v5. I didn't know about that limitation.
Just make that field smaller and it should be ok.

[staryon]

I noticed this was in quite an early post (page 11), and was wondering if you've had chance to implement it yet please?

Whilst configuring the Remote tab (in advanced mode) and entering in my server URL, I switch to landscape to enter the details, but can't scroll down to see all of the config fields.

Many thanks.

Ok, I just uploaded a new version that corrects this.
It also corrects the problem showing 'meters' in the Geo fence alerts.

[bwired]

not sure if I understand. What's the difference in the requests for PHP and ASP? Don't they look the same? They are allmost the same but the asp webserver server can't handle the

/gps/requests.asp action=upload&

it needs to start with

/gps/requests.asp?username=

so start right away without the action=upload etc
otherwise the asp webserver gives a error

full wich works (i tested it)
/gps/requests.asp?username=bwired&password=test&lat=51.7250546833333&long=5.30120238333333&dateadded...... and so on

Then I can make a ASP file like the PHP and it also works for MS webserver....would be great

Why you can do...

/gps/requests.asp?username=bwired...

and you cannot

/gps/requests.asp?action=whatever

?

what's the difference?

'action' is just a parameter. The same as 'username'

I'm probably missing something, but I cannot get it... sorry about that.

Ok, so you are using Google Earth and storing data locally. That's what I really needed to help me to find the error.

I just uploaded a new version that fixes that error. You will have to generate the KML again.

For the future... hey guys, when you have a problem please mention as much details as you can. If you are using your own server, if you are storing the data locally or remotely, if you are viewing the data with Google Earth, Google Maps or from the browser using jcleek's plugin.

Tytn II...just bought for 1 week

[phatman81]

In theory it should be compatible with any device running Windows Mobile and
Compact Framework.

Do you have installed Compact Framework 2.0?

I have the T-Mobile Shadow, it already has NET 2.0 by default. I recieved the same error installing a similar commercial app right after i did the uninstall of this. Has anyone gotten this to work on a DASH (Excalibur) or SHADOW?
(i need to reinstall to get you the exact error if you need it)

[hendrixus]

Doesn't work on my Prophet (SPV M600) with NETCF v3.5
Same problems with netcf v2.0
OS used WM5.0

[bwired]

sorry but I still don't understand.

Why you can do...

/gps/requests.asp?username=bwired...

and you cannot

/gps/requests.asp?action=whatever

?

what's the difference?

'action' is just a parameter. The same as 'username'

I'm probably missing something, but I cannot get it... sorry about that.

OK, try again

ASP webserver can do this, you get error
/gps/requests.asp action=upload&

the space after /gps/requests.asp can not be handled.
Needs to start with ?

Hope this is clear, or do you have other suggestion to make this work.

Thanks

Pieter,

The URLs that I use they DO start with '?'
I don't know why you are getting that space.

Please check the first post.

OK I found it before reading your reply :)

"Note: If you are not using a Kaiser/Tilt PDA, you may get the following error when running TrackMe: Can't find PInvoke sqlceme30.dll.
In order to fix that problem download and install this file on your PDA. That file is for Windows Mobile 5 with ARM processors. If you still have the same problem after installing it,
let me know and I will give you the specific version that you need."

Thanks.

Thought all this stuff takes up a lot of extra memory space

Thanks for not believing me :-) got abreak through now Thank to you.
the ? is not apparing in my weblog, but looks like it there anayhow like you told. I have some logging in mysql dbase now, Still blanks but is does log.

just in case, check that you haven't included an extra space in the TrackMe configuration. There is a text box to enter the file extension. You should have asp there.

First thanks for all your hard work. I am using your free server. Can you please follow the following steps? It appears that there may be a problem with logging into your free server.

1) start your Internet Explorer and paste the following:
http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php?username=zzkz&password=zzkz

2) Select Show Last Location or Show Trip and go back and forth few times between the two.
3) Log out from http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php
4) You get transferred to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php?action=logout
5) Try going to a different web site like www.google.com
6) Now paste the following into Internet Explorer again:
http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php?username=zzkz&password=zzkz
7) Click on Show Trip or Show Last Location. Your web site changes to the following page and prompts for username/password:
http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php

Why is this happening? I was already logged-in.

Hi,

Does the GPS data contain the direction of travel (I presume so as tomtom shows it) and if so can this be added to the database.

It would be handy in the baloon to see which way the person/vehicle is moving.

The GPS data doesn't include that information. That's something I would like to add, but it can be a little bit tricky. Not sure if I will end up adding it.

You are confusing some terms.

http://luisespinosa.com:80/trackme/routes/zzkz.kml is a EXPORTED trip
which could be generated in many different ways. Maybe it was created for a specific trip, any trip, with a date range... whatever parameters you chose.
It's a custom exported file.

When you go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php, you view all the positions for a specific trip (based on the trip you have selected in the drop down box). That viewer doesn't use KML files.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I want to save GPS locations on my Pocket PC, then to upload the data for viewing on your free server (http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php ). I must not have the right settings. After my trip, I select Upload offline positions from the Tools menu and I get an error saying that “Config – You don’t have offline positions stored.” What settings do I need under the Config menu in order to have your program save GPS positions for uploading later?

I have selected the Always for Remote tab under the Offline data (store locally if…).
I also have selected Locally for Store positions: under the Storage tab.
I have checked the Generate KNL file with Local for the Destination file(s) under the Realtime Tracking tab.

z_zk_z,

If you haven't done yet, I suggest that you read the documentation about the program. I also recommend you to check the option 'Hide Advanced settings' by now until you got more experience with the program.

Please take a look at the documentation first and I'll be glad in helping you with any problems.

Did i mention the possibility of sending an SMS as an option instead of an email? There must be a SendSMS API somewhere?

I'm fairly certain that all carriers have some email-to-sms gate address. I'm on AT&T here in the States, and I can send a short email to 2225551212@txt.att.net and it shows up on my phone. It's a work-around for now until/if/when staryon adds direct sms functionality.

Hey staryon... I don't know if you can get your hosting company to update their mime.types file, but if you add the following to mime.types, then cab files will download correctly:

application/cab cab

If they don't want to update it, you can add the following to the/a .htaccess file in the /bin directory of your webspace:

AddType application/cab cab

That'll get rid of the "refresh" trick when downloading the cab file directly to the phone with PIE. Internet Explorer incorrectly ignores mime types sent to the server from .htaccess files, though, so I don't know for sure if the .htaccess mime type will work in PIE.

Let me try on my server... CONFIRMED! The .htaccess file mime type will work with Pocket IE.

I'm fairly certain that all carriers have some email-to-sms gate address. I'm on AT&T here in the States, and I can send a short email to 2225551212@txt.att.net and it shows up on my phone. It's a work-around for now until/if/when staryon adds direct sms functionality.

Here's a list I found online... Replace 2225551212 with your actual 10-digit mobile phone number. Maybe your carrier is listed here. If not, check their web site or call customer service.

at first of all, hello and i'm brand new here ;)
For quite long time i've been following this thread and always wanted to write something ;) here is good moment ;)

2225551212@text.plusgsm.pl

by the way

trackme is really great idea for ppc program, like everybody here, i also was looking for that kind of "spy" software ;)

i'm using it on asus a636n pda and ther've been and still are problems. Tomorrow i'll check the latest version of TM and then will share with you, all my observation.
at the begining i had "sqlceme30.dll" problem, but easly i solved it.
the main problems are:
(i think) it doesnt read gps position, when the option "don't upload consecutive...." is checked, then TM informs me all the time that it skkips position cause.... i'm not moving, when i uncheck that option, then TM uploads points to the server, but when i'm checking my track at Google Earth, all the points of my route are in one place, mostly it's the begining of my route.
Time to time TM reads the position corectly, but i have to find out: when
2nd problem, i cant check the closest buddy, when i do it, TM gives me error:

that is so far

and i'm missing that black interface, the new one is quite bright and it's disturbing during a driving

well, so far that would be all

cheers

Hi,

For the first problem...
Could you enable the option 'Log GPS positions to a file' and send me the file gpspositions.txt once you got that problem?

Thanks

[jcleek]

It seems that with Firefox works fine but it doesn't with IE.
Let's wait for jcleek to see this post, I'm sure he will be able to help you.


I tried to reproduce the problem on my server and am unable to do so. Based on what I see on Staryons server I looked at the code and here is how it works:

1) Is this a private server: yes
2) Is there a cookie set from a previous login: yes

The second time you go to the link http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php?username=zzkz&password=zzkz the username and pass being passed are IGNORED as the cookie was set from the previous login. Putting the user name and pass do absolutely nothing.

So why is this happening on Staryon's server? Actually I submit that this is an IE setting problem and NOT a server problem. You might try to tell IE to stop caching pages.

Is anyone else running their own server experiencing this problem?

[staryon]

New version available!!!


- You can access the Configuration and other menus without pressing STOP first
- GeoFence. Ability to send emails and/or SMS
- Send position by sms added.
- Emails and SMS messages now contain 2 links. The first one is a link to Google Maps to watch it on your PC, and the second one is a link to a static image that can be seen by PDAs. TrackMe will try to generate a short link, if not possible it will just use the regular Google Maps link.

PS: Personally I'm very proud of this version!! :) It took me a long time to figure out the way of generating static images out of Google Maps and also it was an adventure to find the way of sending SMS internally (it also cost me a some euros to test over and over the functionality). On the other hand, I had to redo many things so you don't need to click on STOP for accessing the menus. I tried to do everything transparent to the user and as easy as possible.

I hope you guys appreciate all this and visit that link that I have in my signature ;)

Enjoy!!

[warmkiwi99]

Absolutely brilliant!! Donated.....
thanks

[warmkiwi99]

getting "installation unsucessful"?

[jcleek]

Installation of TrackMe.CAB was unsuccessful.

Also a question: What is the longest XDA thread for an application? This one has got to bne getting close...

[staryon]

sorry guys. Try again.

[staryon]

Absolutely brilliant!! Donated.....
thanks

thanks a million mate. I really appreciate your contribution.

[staryon]

By the way, I think I found a way of pan/zoom that Google map with mobile devices. I'll do some testing and I will release it for the next version.

[staryon]

sorry guys... I just found a bug when creating new GeoFence alerts. It should be fixed now.

I should have tested it more before releasing it... but you know, I was too excited about the new features :p

[z_zk_z]

z_zk_z,

If you haven't done yet, I suggest that you read the documentation about the program. I also recommend you to check the option 'Hide Advanced settings' by now until you got more experience with the program.

Please take a look at the documentation first and I'll be glad in helping you with any problems.

Regards

I have read your tutorial but there seems to be an issue with your server. I am using an AT&T Tilt (WM6 Pro)/Kaiser and running TrackMe V2.3.1.41. I used your program this morning and it was able to generate a KML file remotely on your site (look at the date/time) at http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/zzkz.kml , however, if you go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php and login using username=zzkz and password=zzkz, you will not see any data from this morning, when you click on Show Trip, and if you click on Show Last Location, you would see data from few days ago (I think an earlier version of TrackMe was somehow working, just the Show Last Location. The Show Trip has never worked and it only shows the world map). I also get an error saying “You don’t have offline positions stored.” when I select Menu/Tools/Upload offline positions. Any suggestions!!!

[odie3]

About the buddies...

We who use our own server get no buddies (or at least I do not). So, I was wondering if the Buddy part of Trackme could always hit your server to upload our position and then check for closest person to us.

I checked your data in the database and yes, you have some positions stored there.

I just told jcleek about this problem. I think the problem happens if you have positions with no trip assigned.

I checked my code and I just found a problem. This feature was returning your closest buddy based on your OLDEST uploaded position. It should be based on your LATEST uploaded position. I just fixed that.

It's only on the server side (I only changed the file requests.php)

[staryon]

And yes, the buddies are taken from the server that you have in the Remote tab in Configuration.

I prefer not to change that, so I keep it consistent with the rest.

What a shame, Odie never gets to have a buddie... :(

[staryon]

What a shame, Odie never gets to have a buddie... :(

use my server man!! you'll find plenty of friends there :D

[odie3]

Sorry, I like using my server just fine. :) While I have in the past switched to your server to see a buddy I have not done it in awhile. It just too much of a pain to make the switch from my server to your server and back to mine. Which was the reason for my request...

[mfrodrigues]

Hi!

This program looks great! I have installed int an a asus p535 with wm6.

I have configured my GPS port COM2 with the 4800 rate. It's the same as I use for all my GPS programs.

But when i click connect it says: "waiting for GPS response"

I'm sure this is the port and I have no other GPS program connected at the same time.

When I test another simple GPS program, i receive all satellites, so I have a GPS signal at the moment.

What might be the problem? Unsupported internal GPS?

Thanks!

[mbritten]

love the new features. one problem, dont know if im the only oe having it but when i send my pos via sms and click the link to view mobile map it shows me a blue map like im in the middle of the ocean. check my positions in google earth and the are correct. the just dont seem to be getting sent correctly to the mobile map link

[scossey]

Every time my realtime Google Earth updates, it goes back to a 65 Degree Tilt, is there some setting that will make it stay at a different tilt, or is it set in the update file that is created by TrackMe. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Great Program !

ok, I think I fixed the problem. You can download it again.

yes, that tilt is hard-coded. Not sure when, but I may some settings for that in the future.

Could you try running this program?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=54347&d=1192468313

That program just tries to open a com port. I just want to double check that you can really open the port.

Also...
Do you think you can try using GPSState?
Please check this message:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1695952&postcount=866

Please let me know if that resolves the problem.

Thanks


I'm still trying to find this problem with some PDAs...

[mfrodrigues]

Thank you for you quick answer!

The gpsinit didn't work, but i think it's normal because the program tries to open a com4, port right? And my internal GPS is using COM2.

I have downloaded the evaluation version of GPSState, and i have done the some as the user on the post you provided me. And in fact know i can use TrackMe!!!

The only thing i did was a redirect from com2 to com5, and know i can use the program. But it's only for 14 days :(

Do you have any idea of what is happening? Im 100% sure that no other program is sharing the com2 port. I have also done a soft reset and tested again but it only works with gpsstate sharing com4.

Thank you very much for you help!

btw: I'm already seeing this on the web interface.. Its really amazing!

I don't know where is the problem yet. I'm really busy adding new features but I will try to look at that as soon as possible.

i think that TM was working pretty fine (i mean, it has stored the position corectly,) when there wasn't internet connection so it was storing all the points to the offline file.
But when i wanted to try to do it, i had similar problem as:

Hi!

This program looks great! I have installed int an a asus p535 with wm6.

I have configured my GPS port COM2 with the 4800 rate. It's the same as I use for all my GPS programs.

But when i click connect it says: "waiting for GPS response"

I'm sure this is the port and I have no other GPS program connected at the same time.

When I test another simple GPS program, i receive all satellites, so I have a GPS signal at the moment.

What might be the problem? Unsupported internal GPS?

Thanks!

i had allready that problem couple of times but always after few minutes it was working fine. It was quite strange cause TM was already running once toady, and TM has found some satellites.

So it seems that TM has problems with asus pdas.
I don't give up, so tomorrow i'll try to split my GPS port, and then at one time i want to run TM (if it find any satellite ;) ) and some other GPS prog which can log gps position.

by the way, maybe you can do it some kind of option which will show actual position in TM on main screen ?

[staryon]

It looks like your GPS stops getting data for a few minutes. Very strange.
For that reason TrackMe is always reading the same data.

Try with that other program. Let's see if that resolves the problem.

[Karol-pl]

hmmm
do anybody knows some GPS generator/emulator for PPC ?
then it would be much easier to test TM

hmmm it seems that using port spliter on my asus, makes that TM serach satellites quckier. Try it on yours. I'm going to check it right now, lets see if it works outside ;)

[Karol-pl]

i dont know what to think about it. After i splitted my gps signal on 2 ports i tried to log gps signal in 2 programs, 1st was TM and 2nd GPSdash.

here are results:
60854- it's rar file actually.

what it can be ?

i tried all option. Online storing to server, storing to offline file and storing to local KML file, all the results are the same.
http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/karol-pl.kml local KML is in attach.

the results of the GPSdash are mostly corect ;)
route1 (TM works in online mode): 60855 - zip file
route2 (TM works in offline mode): 60856 - zip file
route3 (TM works in local storing mode): 60854

Yes, you are right! GPSGate solved my problem. But its costs 19$ :(

So I have tryied several programs including port splitter and none worked for me...except one! GPSProxy!!!! :)

You can proxy a connection from COM2 to COM5 and everything runs great! So, it's a good solution to Asus users.

Note: Some Asus users(like me) will do do some tweaks to the gpsproxy! Here is the link with all the info:

well, i'll try it, but my gps port is setted up on com5. so maybe there is a problem in gps protocol ? i'll check it

[staryon]

I have read your tutorial but there seems to be an issue with your server. I am using an AT&T Tilt (WM6 Pro)/Kaiser and running TrackMe V2.3.1.41. I used your program this morning and it was able to generate a KML file remotely on your site (look at the date/time) at http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/routes/zzkz.kml , however, if you go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme/index.php and login using username=zzkz and password=zzkz, you will not see any data from this morning, when you click on Show Trip, and if you click on Show Last Location, you would see data from few days ago (I think an earlier version of TrackMe was somehow working, just the Show Last Location. The Show Trip has never worked and it only shows the world map). I also get an error saying “You don’t have offline positions stored.” when I select Menu/Tools/Upload offline positions. Any suggestions!!!

We have found the problem. When jcleek has a chance he will be releasing a new version of the viewer.

[staryon]

Another new version available with very nice features!

- When viewing a map on your pda, you can pan and zoom your location.
- Added option to show current position on map.

Note:
When viewing the map on Pocket Internet Explorer, you can select the option Menu->View->Desktop if you don't want to view the image resized.

Server files have been updated. (only change is the new file gm.php)

staryon,

I installed the program two days ago, never got around to using it ... tried this morning and it wouldn't get gps signal. came home and looked at the thread to find an updated version (thank you for all your hard work btw) ... so i reinstalled and gps signal works :) ...

now i did setup my server using jcleek's code (thank you too dude!) ... but when TrackMe tried to upload the coordinates ... i get the following:

Uploading offline xx.xxx, xx.xxx
Unable to upload position: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found.
Offline process finished.
Some positions have not been uploaded.
You need to run this process again later.

googled the error, and it seems like a .net framework issue or something :s

please help

[pjam]

hi, this seems to b a great app. i love all the gps stuff. I just seem to be having trouble viewing any of the maps on my Kaiser. I get an 400 error within PIE with a message saying that my client has issued a malformed or illegal statement.

Like i said, i get this problem when trying to view any of the map pictures, whether from an sms link or the new option of viewing your own position on the map.

hope you can help.

cheers

Hi Staryon
New version: when you say "view map on your pda" do you mean by following link from the geofence notification or something else?

[staryon]

Try this (I added to the first post):

2. In case you get messages like this while using the program: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found you need to install this file (http://luisespinosa.com/bin/System_SR_ENU.CAB) from Microsoft that will provide description of error messages.

let's see if we got more feedback from other users. At this moment I don't know why you get that error.

[staryon]

Hi Staryon
New version: when you say "view map on your pda" do you mean by following link from the geofence notification or something else?

It's just an option to see your current position. I added a new icon in the main menu.

[warmkiwi99]

duh! sorry, didn't notice it.

hey pjam, one thing...
When you have this problem what address (URL) you have in PIE? Do you think you can give me that information?
Thanks

[pjam]

there you go. it doesn't directly show the error but the map image isn't displayed, just a little red cross. Trying to open the image in a new window results in the error.

thanks

[phatman81]

I have tried to install the newest version, but i still get an error messager when launching:
60885608866088760888

Anyone else getting this?

Code:

AddType application/cab cab

That'll get rid of the "refresh" trick when downloading the cab file directly to the phone with PIE. Internet Explorer incorrectly ignores mime types sent to the server from .htaccess files, though, so I don't know for sure if the .htaccess mime type will work in PIE.

Let me try on my server... CONFIRMED! The .htaccess file mime type will work with Pocket IE.

Thanks a lot! I will try that.

Hi Staryon,

Still loving this fantastic tracking app and I always look forward to your new and updated versions.

I do prefer to download new CABs via PocketIE over wi-fi because it removes the need for a computer, but as described in previous posts, I too can't download your TrackMe.CAB file. I was therefore wondering if the information above worked or not on your webserver?

Many thanks for your help.
