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.

Maybe that link is only for US users. I need to look into that.

French User = OK for my HTC Sensation with the link you provided

Big thanks LEM, I was waiting since April, since I threw my last winmo device :D

I just want to use my own web server, but when I'm going on Google to get my Maps API, Google tells me :

Note: The Google Maps Javascript API Version 2 has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010. Version 3 does not require an API key. The V2 API will continue to work as per our deprecation policy, but we encourage you to migrate your code to version 3 of the Maps Javascript API.

does someone is familiar with that ?

I didn't know about that. I think eventually (unless somebody from the community wants to help) will be redoing the web interface. It hasn't been updated in a long time and I would like to fix and add a few things.

By the way, the company that acquired the original TrackMe (and is supporting this new version) is creating a website for it. You can visit it at www.mobiletrackme.com
Eventually we will move everything there. My website got kind of confused right now with so many versions!

They told me yesterday that it will be released next week. I'm not involved in that project though.

that sounds great! (that they might really release it soon, not that you are not involved ;) ) ... but thank you so much for keeping that program of yours alive and thanks for the android version. i was looking forward to this one, too! my fav. software on WM... now maybe on all other devices as well.

Hi,

first many thanks for the android version.

And now my problem, I'am using my own server on port 8080. I've entered the URL Header h**p://xx.xx.xx.xx:8080 and got only an error 401, but didn't find any entries in my log. After a while of searching, I found the entrys on my 2. server running on port 80.

Regards Martin

Excellent Excellent Excellent :D

donation coming your way . .

Likewise. This Android version is working like a charm. Thanks LEM!

Would it be possible to run trackme as a service? For my Desire Z it seems somehow to shutdown sometimes when I'm using some other programs when using TM (eg. Foursquare). So I could be sure that it will be run on background when using some other progs. I'm not using any software that would kill processes.

And how about some features that WM -version had? Eg. when turning with some degrees it would push current location right away to the server (and send also angle parameter to the database).

Hopefully you have some time for the future also develop this Android version ahead. Great work! Thanks again. Now I have all the software that I'll need for Android.

    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 ;)
