Hi Lem

Thanks again for awesome app.
I'm still getting advertising even after donating, and when I try "remove adverts" I get the error saying item is already owned.

Also, battery usage on the app has risen hugely over the last week or so. Track me is using nearly 50%.
I'm using v3.00.0 on a Samsung Galaxy S6.

Thanks again

Nick

That's strange. I would try to uninstall it and install it again (you can do a backup of your settings and routes first)

Regarding the battery usage it really depends on what you are doing. How often you are recording, sources used... If it was working before it should be something
has changed on your phone or TrackMe settings. You should double check that it's really TrackMe who is doing that.

By the way, TrackMe 3.1 went out a couple of weeks ago. You should try to update first.

I have never used glympse so I don't know. With cloud sharing on TrackMe you share your position publicly or privately. Your position will be displayed
on the map in realtime for other TrackMe users to see. You can also enable this feature by sending a text message from another phone.

Can not read distance/time

With a recent upgrade, I am not able to see current time and distance. The bottom menu on the realtime stats page covers the distance and total time numbers. Using LGL44VL running android 5.1.1.

You're right. If your phone has a smaller screen, it won't show up. I spent a long time trying to make it scrollable, but I couldn't make it to work. I'll keep trying. Thanks for letting me know. Sorry about that.

UPDATE

Bug fixes:
- Checking weather could cause the app to crash.
- When showing certain fields (e.g. Speed) decimals could overlap on images.

Update
3.2.2
- Route list is now sorted by End Date. This is useful if you reuse routes on different days, so this will not sink at the bottom of the route list.


hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates lately. I am very busy writing a game for PC and Android devices and it is taking all of my spare time.
I still have many ideas for TrackMe that I will add in the future, so if you guys have any suggestions, please let me know.

Also, please take some time to review the app if possible! Basically all the reviews I get lately are from people who don't know how to use it and they just give me the lowest rating. :(
I know TrackMe's interface is not the best, but I don't think it's totally fair. If anybody here who uses TrackMe has ideas to make it more attractive keeping it simple and the same functionality,
I would be more than happy to make those changes.

Sorry about that. I am paying for a new web host because I had many problems with the previous one and they also kept increasing the price.
Since I don't get any feedback from users here or new reviews anymore I thought that people wouldn't care or use that feature, so I didn't want to
spend time migrating the existing data.
You will have to upload them again if you have have them on your phone.

Regards.

Hello,

Even though I Have WIFI/Cell activated, I get the message "Provider network disabled." I would love to get some cell network location as I can't have GPS on all the time. Any suggestions why this message appears?

Oh my bad. I misunderstood the whole wifi/Cell thing. I didn't get that it is the same as the GPS with energy saver mode/low accuracy mode.

I thought it would work just with cell tower info (so no GPS option turned on)

Just switched to the Moto X4 phone and the app isn't able to read SMS messages for remote controlling. When I activate the feature I get a warning message about "SMS Conflicts", see the screenshot for details. Is there a workaround for this ? Thanks !

It also stopped working for me sometime ago. Google has added a lot of restrictions in recent Android updates. Maybe there is a new API I should use to make it
work like it was but I haven't spent time on that because of the reasons I mentioned in my previous posts. Sorry about that. Hopefully I will get back to development one day
if I see more interest from users.

Such a great app... I used it last year while visiting Peru. we have 18 high school kids with us and I set it up so parents could see where were were at all times. Plan on using it this year for our trip to Rome. Please keep developing this!

    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!

    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.

    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:

    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 ;)
