Long time that I don't stop by...

Just a quick update to let you know that this project is still in progress. I haven't updated it in a long time, but I still plan
to go back to it one day. Sorry for the long long wait... :angel:


By the way, a question... Do you guys know the Google API that TrackMe uses will be obsolete? I remember that Google extended
the expiration, but I don't know until when. I need to upgrade the viewer before that happens... If there are any volunteers please say something!

Thanks. :good:

My understanding was that was 11/19/2013, and my TrackMe is still going well. So I don't know if they delayed it more, or the automatic v3 wrapper they're doing is working fine.

I got stuck on converting to v3 and stopped, I really need to give that another go. Maybe over Christmas vacation.

Thanks for your reply, khaytsus. I appreciate that you still consider working on that update.
Hopefully we'll both the chance again to go back to TrackMe soon!

Error uploading offline position (An exception occurred during a WebClient request. )

Hi,

I am getting the following error when trying to upload my offline positions, do you have any ideas.

Error uploading offline position (An exception occurred during a WebClient request. ). I am using my own server, it has been working for over a year now, but all of a sudden I am getting this error.

Thanks in advance

hey guys,

I'm back to development! I just uploaded a new version where I have added the initial logic to let users remove ads.
It's not available yet, it will in the next version.

Once I have that done, I will add the option to upload images which has been on my to-do list for a long time.

I also want to create a very light version of TrackMe for tracking phones. I get several emails every week about that asking
how to do it.

Glad to be finally back. I'm a little rusty developing on Android, but hopefully it'll be just a matter of time! :angel:

Great to see you back on the case, still use the app every day

The feature I miss most from my old windows phone days is where in the event of internet failure it would continue to log positions and then upload them automatically once back on line. Currently I get loads of big gaps, hope that is on your to do list :)

I'm glad you still use it every day. I will implement your request first. Stay tuned. :)

Of course I remember you!
You helped a lot with the development. And sure, I would love to hear your requests.

Do you mean to share your location with those?

the android client (app) sends the data up to the server/database, the webpage connects to the database, but the map and the track doesnt show.

can somebody help me with this?


or should i just use this?
https://github.com/bfabiszewski/phpTrackme

You need a Google Maps API Key.

But here it says:


How to use your own server

TrackMe already provides a server that can be used free of charge by any user. However, if you want to use your own server, you can use the installation package that jcleek created for TrackMe.

Download installation package (Google Maps API not needed)
Sorry you have right. Can you send me a link to your site? On my webserver it works well.

    HISTORY

    TrackMe is the conversion of the popular tool written originally for Windows Mobile 5 and 6. This version for Android has widely extended the WM version and includes tons of new features. You can find the original thread for TrackMe for WM here

    WHAT IS TRACKME?

    TrackMe is a GPS/WiFi/Cell ID tracker. It records your path, speed, altitude, distance, temperature and other parameters. It can also be started remotely using text messages from any other phone.
    You can view your data (live or recorded) from your phone or also from any browser if you sync it with a TrackMe server.

    Features

    * Works with no internet connection. All your data is stored on your phone unless that you decide to sync it with a TrackMe server.
    * Stealth mode: Start/stop recording or send your position by sms by sending text messages from other phones without having TrackMe installed.
    * Add markers with pictures, comments, file attachments or voice notes to your routes.
    * Automatic image matching. You can match existing photos stored on your phone with any of your routes. TrackMe will try to find the closest match by using the tags stored inside the photos.
    * Detailed route summary.
    * Load any GPX files on the map and follow them!
    * Show nearby markers. Check on the map for nearby markers that you have added previously in other routes. Very useful if you are trying to go back to a place that you have visited before.
    * Cloud sharing. Share public or privately your position on the map. You can use this to meet with a person, if you both got lost from each other, if you want to see where the person is if it went on a trip...
    This feature can be also started and stopped from any other phone using text messages.
    * Export and import routes using KML or GPX files.
    * Share your position on WhatsApp, sms, email, twitter...
    * Highly customizable.
    * Use our own server free of charge or your own!
    * And much more!

    HOW TO USE YOUR OWN SERVER
    Click here for instructions (Google Maps API not needed)

    CUSTOM WEB VIEWER DEVELOPMENT AND USER PLUGINS
    Click here to visit the thread

    WEB BROWSER VIEWER
    Created by OpitZle, pammetje, mcross, jcleek and _LEM_ (only TrackMe client<->server communication)

    SYNCING YOUR DATA WITH A TRACKME SERVER (you only need the app on your phone)

    Let's suppose your wife wants to track your location in real-time.

    On your phone: Enable "Sync my positions" in Settings->TrackMe Server Settings->Sync my positions. You also need to enter a username and password.
    Now your wife can go to http://luisespinosa.com/trackme from a browser, enter that username and password and enable "Live Tracking On/Off" to see your current position. You need to start recording on the TrackMe app for all this to work.

    Keep in mind that Cloud Sharing is less accurate. Syncing with a TrackMe server will allow you as much accuracy as you need, by adjusting the GPS, WiFi, QuickFix, Minimum Accuracy/Distance/Time values in the settings.

    new web viewer

    Hi!

    I tried posting this in web development thread, but I don't have 10 posts :(
    When I earn some points I may repost it there, where it belongs

    I wrote a web viewer for TrackMe data. It is a complete rewrite of the original viewer. The only thing that is left of old viewer is interface look and feel.
    It uses Google Maps API v3 but I plan to implement also an OpenStreetMap alternative.
    My viewer is based on ajax, so everything works dynamically without page reloading.
    I use TrackMe on Android, so I implemented only the functions present in this version. There is no support for photos or comments. I will surely add those features when they become present on Android :)
    On the other hand I added altitudes graph. I thought about adding other graphs (like speed) and statistics but gps data I get with the Android app often miss info like speed, angle etc. (why?)
    The code is GPL, so everybody can contribute or reuse it. If you make changes to it please contribute your patches back :)

    The code is available at github:
    https://github.com/bfabiszewski/phpTrackme

    You can see a simple demo at:
    http://flaa.fabiszewski.net/phptrackme/
    (auto registration of new users from client is blocked on this site)

    hey guys...new updates soon! Working on TrackMe again with new features ;)
