strayon:

I'm getting ready to install TrackMe but I made sure to read through the whole thread first. I've used a lot of similar programs and I love the look of yours. I just had a few suggestions (most of which were already suggested)

1.) I think first priority for adding a feature would be having it save a KML file on the phone itself. It will remove the definitive need for a PHP server, and you could have the option of uploading or saving it locally. I personally think this will make your application much more user friendly for the masses :)

2.) The google maps idea is also great. I own the Pro copy of GE, but using GMaps would be a real nice feature to incorporate. Who knows, do a good enough job who knows, maybe you could sell it to them to add into their GMAPS applications for smartphones etc etc :)

Just my .02

I will provide more information about the format of the URLs that are sent from the program.
It would be most useful for me if you could have it make an HTML call to a URL like this:
Code:
http://mydomain.com/somepath/kmlgen.cgi?lat=***&lon=***&otherdata=***&.......

I don't really have need for an SQL at the moment. I can just parse the data coming into a script and store it as text or directly into a kml.

I noticed that on the Tilt/Kaiser if you do Tools->turn off screen it puts it into a suspend mode and causes the GPS to turn off and the program to stop logging.

I think what I'll try tonight is to leave the program running and just lock the screen. Hopefully it doesn't see it as inactivity and suspend the device itself.

laakness, if you are running TrackMe and you have clicked on the START button, I disable the suspend mode (otherwise it will stop logging). After that, if you click on Turn off screen, it will just turn it off, but you should still getting data.

Keep in mind that if you click on Turn off screen but you haven't pressed the START button, I don't disable the suspend mode.

All the test have been made on my tilt and works fine.

Great app!

Is there any way to delete a Trip? assume this would have to delete it on your server. Tried Delete Contents on GE but it came back again as I guess it retrieved the data from your web site
Device: Kaiser

This is what I'm sending right now:

Code:

Not yet. You can delete the data associate with a trip, but not the trip name. I will add it soon.
