How about just save the kml file off to the PDA, and/or allow e-mailing out? That way an external server is not needed.

I will provide soon a version where you can upload the information to your own server and I will also include the php files that you need to copy to your server. (it should be very simple to setup)

Thank you very much! I just cannot wait to see how it works on my server. I am using GPSGate.com right now and it is neat using their Google Maps feature. However, there are a lot of mis-trackings too. Also, do you plan on releasing a version for Google Maps (using API) in the future?

I was wondering about the same thing. Would it be possible to have an option to save the data to a KML file instead of uploading it to the server? I do not have any data service and would love to use it offline.

This would be awesome. My server is sitting here waiting for the php files

Your program looks very promising!

Personally, all i would need your program to do is make an HTML call with the information in the URL. I could write my own script to receive the call and generate the KML file. Could you possibly allow a custom server configuration? I could take care of the rest i think.

Yes, that would be possible. I'm going to add an option where you can specify the server IP instead of being hard-coded to my server. You will just need to listen to port 80 and process the requests.
I will provide more information about the format of the URLs that are sent from the program.

Thanks a lot!

That's a great idea. I'll try to add that feature as soon as possible.

Let me know, and thanks very much for a such application!

Thanks a lot, ghale. I will finish fixing that problem tomorrow... I'm almost falling asleep

This problem only affects to PDAs whose regional settings use a comma instead of a dot as a decimal pointer.

In that case all the information should be stored in a flat file. I think I could add an option that generates a KML file based on that flat file. I will add it to the to-do list.

Thanks for your suggestions!

I haven't thought about it, but I think it shouldn't be difficult to add. I'll take a look. Thanks!

Until I add that, you can use do it offline. Just check the option 'If unable to upload position, store in a file for later uploading. Use Tools->'Upload offline positions' for uploading later.'

Later when you get home and you sync your pda, you can upload the positions to the server, by going to Tools->'Upload offline positions'

Are you going to have the option to change the port? I am using port 80 strictly for web server.
