[APP][Plugin] CGPS v1.0

GPS Application Plugin for Titanium

Logs your GPS Coordinates at an interval of 5 minutes

How does it work?
After running the application, it will turn ON your phone's GPS and log your current coordinates in a csv file. If it is able to get a valid coordinate, it will turn your GPS OFF and then wait for 5 minutes before turning it ON again.

First Panel:
- tapping on the panel will turn on the GPS
- first text line shows the status of CGPS (on/off)
- second text line shows the number of satellites and the status of your phone's GPS
- third line shows your Latitude and Longitude
- right soft key's function is to close/exit CPGS

Second Panel:
- will allow you to send an sms to one of your contacts with your last logged GPS coordinate and also a link to open Google Maps (installation is required on the receiving phone) and point your location.

Comments:
- tested on HTC Diamond 6.5 rom
- i don't have any icon for my panel (left image) maybe someone could share one for this plugin

A SMALL DONATION WOULD HELP A LOT

Hi,

on installing CGPS i always get an error "installation not successful". What happend? Ok, it works, i create a folder manually, than restart the install.

Another question: is it possible to switch from lon/lat to the QTH-Locator for the amateur radio operators?

Works well on my Omnia i910. How's battery life? Thanks for this, a lot of people are going to be very happy!

Hi,

in another posting, i wrote about the QTH Locator for amateur radio operators. You could look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maidenhead_Locator_System

Ok, you knew it was coming...a bug list. None of which are a big deal, mostly irritating things.

Battery drains, but honestly, it's to be expected.
While it's running, ie connected to gps (doin' it's thing), it messes with titanium. The transparent bar on the top will go to a non transparent bar (no biggie). Hitting the end key won't go back to cClock until you select another panel, but then it works until you check the CGPS panel (no biggie). This one is strange, when exiting out of a convo via sms, it'll go the home screen, but the bottom bar for sms stays, hitting end fixes it (more irritating than anything). Once you hit 'close' on the CGPS panel, everything goes back to normal (all bugs disappear).

I would like to say that even with these very minor bugs, this is a very awesome panel. Thank you so very much!

- thank you for sharing.

- do you mean in degrees? may i ask for a sample syntax please?

Battery drains, but honestly, it's to be expected.
- i've set it to close the GPS every 5 minutes, maybe a longer interval would lessen the battery drain, but then the gap between 2 succeeding points would be much farther apart

While it's running, ie connected to gps (doin' it's thing), it messes with titanium. The transparent bar on the top will go to a non transparent bar (no biggie).
- hmm, haven't experienced this on my Diamond. May i ask what's your device's resolution please?

Hitting the end key won't go back to cClock until you select another panel, but then it works until you check the CGPS panel (no biggie).
- while CGPS is running? i just tested it and you are correct. Maybe because the CGPS.exe is in the foreground (but invisible) that's why when you press the END key, titanium doesn't receive the end message. i'll work this out later

This one is strange, when exiting out of a convo via sms, it'll go the home screen, but the bottom bar for sms stays, hitting end fixes it (more irritating than anything). Once you hit 'close' on the CGPS panel, everything goes back to normal (all bugs disappear).
- i don't get this. Can you please explain further? or post a SS?

- thank you for the comment.

How big is the effect on battery life?

lioryte · Sep 27, 2009

Using WM 23414 This app is freezing up titanium scrolling and only that

gashome · Oct 5, 2009

oldsap, could you please share your theme and wallpaper? Thanks in advance.

benzo · Dec 2, 2009

Tnx oldsap, nice plugin,
but i've a question:

with this plugin i can obtain my latitude/longitude on "Page 1", but in "Page 2" i can't send sms, clicking appears a popup "GPS Log File not present".
Viewing the registry for CGPS i can see theese lat/lon data well written but where is the log? i've translated the "program files" registry path to my own language (italian device - "Programmi"), is this the cause? is the log location hardcoded?

tnx in advance

benzo · Dec 3, 2009

i think it's hardcoded.. i've created a directory in root "\Program files\CGPS\", now it works.

Mudvayne622 · Jan 20, 2010

So since this creates a location file every 5 mins does it use alot of memory or does it overwrite the old log with each new update? also once i start a gps program(i use Amaze) does this turn off once the lock in Amaze is established?

Yeah i know dumb questions...i was just curious

Omega Ra · Jan 20, 2010

I have not seen it use a lot of memory (been using it on 2 phones now) and this allows amaze to have a pretty much instant lock. Once it gets a GPS lock it turns itself off. Once you run a GPS nav program it will instantly (or pretty damn close) find you and them the GPS is running so CGPS doesn't do anything.

G-yan · Mar 14, 2010

Hello, oldsap.

Let me make small question.

I am testing CGPS with my ipaq914c.

When I turn on CGPS, it seems that location data was recorded.
But if my understanding is correct, is the data recorded every five minuts?
I wonder
GPS is always ON when CGPS is on
or
GPS will be on every 5 minutes and off after getting data.

Because when I use Google map with GPS.
Even though CGPS is on, it took long time to get my location.
