NAV-to GPS-coded Pics?

Hi!
Reading about some Navman GPS devices, I've found they have the ability to navigate toward the GPS-embedded coordinates of GPS-pictures. Is there any way to enable TT6 to do the same trick? Or other process to use the GPS data in the pics?

That would be very nice. I've seen it too on the Navman and it worked very nice. But I don't think they can do here a thing with it, because they can't look into TomTom 6 code.

Well.... What about a TT6 upgrade to do the trick? If they found how to navigate-to a contact address from the contact manager app, it could be the same for GPS-pics. Maybe one of the genious in this forum can make a patch..... just a wish!

While we can get the source code for WM5 and WM6 to help us fiddle about with the OS's, doing the same for an application like tomtom, which is patented and protected, is slim to none. Without maybe paying a large amount of money to tomtom to get hold of the code.
I could be wrong..

Well, you may be right about Copyrights, but at the same time, it should be easy to "convert" the EXIF GPS data on the pics to the POI format TT6 uses... and this is widely done with Radar POI's listings and the like.
Hasn't anyone noted the folder where the GPS pics are stored.... It's named "My POI"! It has to mean something!
Waiting........

Oh, and Microsoft code isn't copyrighted, is that it?
So where, exactly, is it that you're able to get to the "source code" for WM5 or WM6? We all have the same executables for TT6 as we do for WM, and therefore are free to disassemble/reverse-engineer...

you can collect GPS data using BeeLineGPS, or TuneGPS
You can than expost you track and conbine it in pictures.
you can than view them in google earth..
I personly use BeeLineGPS and Canon 5D, than with the canon updated software v.3 combine the data with images.

GPS Route Registration?

Hello,
I wonder if there is a program, where I can get my route administration done with my Touch Diamond (or other gps-enabled ppc's).
A program where i can say 'START ROUTE' and it logs the current GPS-position, it counts the driven KM's, and when i say 'STOP ROUTE' it logs it to a file with date, km's and better with destination names (connect to google maps?)
I know some sort of things exist, but not 'simple' ..
I need it for the Taxes, i run my own company and have to write down every single km I drive. Pfff...
any ideas?

I think TRACKME might be what you are looking for(best of all: it's free!:

I think it is what I need indeed.
Found it, sorry for this tread !!

It's all available there.
Since I can log GPS coordinates on my own server, in fact I can get a plot from there very easy. It looks very promising.

there's one which doesn't require .NET 3.5.. called MyMotion 1.1.. i'm using it for my bicycle trips.. you can log your route while you drive and then use a mapmaker to match a google earth map with coordinates to it so you can see where you drove.
it's really really good.

[Updated November 09] Route Tracker

Route Tracker
With Route Tracker you can create routes and add several route points containing text and/or images from your current position. If gps is available it will take the current longitude, latitude and altitude. Without a gps module information of the current cell id and the location area code are saved.
For each route a report can be created which can be saved as a html file.
prerequisites:
PocketPC with .net compact framework 2.0 and SQL Compact Server 2005 (already installed in WM6 professional)
(tested on a WM6 professional device without gps)
known issues:
after uninstall the db and the images will not be deleted
getting MyLocation can time out
timer greater than ~15 seconds doesn't word when device is in suspend mode
in the view form only the map type for default route maps is working
next features:
automatic point adding by distance (every x meters)
more robust MyLocation
geo game (show taken image and try to find the place on the map)
Any comments are appreciated.
version 1.0.5
new view showing the whole route in one image using Google Maps (markers or path)
this view can be saved to an image file
check its settings form for parameters
version 1.0.4
new setting: Use Google's MyLocation for report GMaps and for exporting to kml. On devices without gps the cell id information will be used to get an approximate location. (default on and will use internet connection!)
version 1.0.3
new report "GMaps" using google maps (will try to use internet connection!)
updated date set to last saved route point
additional setting: Flash on Saving (flash on main screen)
version 1.0.2
additional settings: check gps, vibrate on saving
saving settings: seconds, minutes and vibrate on saving
show time with date in the grid
version 1.0.1
A report can be saved to kml for viewing in google maps.
In Menu/Auto Report... timed saving can be activated.
Thanks,
heliosdev

Anybody tried?
Would be interesting to know if the gps information gets stored and if there are any issues on devices with qwerty hardware keyboard (regarding screen rotation).
Thanks!

New version is up. If you have difficulties with the gps data, try to start gps with another app and after having enough sat fixes try Route Tracker.

Nice now this app work, but here some ideas:
A Sign that shows a record was made
Start Time on the main screen
Show Cell ID or GPS is used
Other Ideas will follow

Thanks for the input! New version is up.

very cool! i will be certainly using it.

It works on my Diamond without any problem.

Great but here some Ideas:
Show the last position time in the grid (Last position time saved at
Vibrate is good, but better would it if you make a flashing dot on the main screen because if you use it in a carholder its not so go.
(Or you can add vibrate too under settings)
And Upload direct the cab file, its easier to use!
Thx and work on!

didn't work on my vogue - got a net framework error.

@all
thanks for your input!
@fredcatsmommy
what is the error message saying? Can you go to menu/settings and press the 'Check GPS' button?

okay, here's the message I get when trying to run RouteTracker (which does not open at all):
Error

Well, it looks like sql is not installed on your device! I've seen cooked roms which removed this to save some space...
What .net version do you have installed? (run /Windows/cgacutil.exe)

I'm using the ppckitchen to cook a custom rom and have included both sql, 3.5 supposed to be included and I also select .netcf 2. Maybe that's a problem, but I've not ever gotten that message with any of the other programs I use that require .netcf. When I run /Windows/cgacutil.exe it says 2.0.7045.0

Will this work with .NET 3.5 or only 2.0?
I get this error using the ROM in my sig and SQLce 3.5 added.
Code:
An unexpected error has occurred in RouteTracker.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information.
File or assembly name 'System.Data.SqlServerCe, Version=3.0.3600.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3BE235DF1C8D2AD3', or one of its dependencies, was not found.

Here a new Idea
Make a Today Plugin that shows CELL ID, LAC, MCC, MNC or GPS and a count down. It shows new recorde made in xx.xx.xx (ex. 00:00:10 = 10 sek.)

Well, I'm using C# .net and I'm not sure if this can be used for today plugin development.
Btw, new version is up!

new version is up!
Tests with devices without gps are appreciated! (internet connection needed)
(report GMaps and save report (in Report form) to kml and view it with google maps/earth on desktop)

Nice,
works fine!
But can you set a dot on mylocation?
Like here http://cellid.schlapa.net
Also show the cellID data on the Gmaps Screen.
Thx wait for next versions ...

Hi thanks for this app!!!!
Is it possible to get bigger screen shots ?
Thanks dude

GPS tracking program

Which GPS tracking program do you suggest to install ?
The only features should be simple to use, storing the tracked data to storage card (not uploading them online) and then possibility to export them to google eart.
Tnx

noniGPSPlot.
It's free too!

I used Track Me on my Kaiser and it preforms brilliantly, the KML files can be used in google earth which really does look impressive.
It looks and runs on the HD perfectly also

I'm using GPSed and Trackr
both free
Trackr has an interesting feature, as it can log the speed while tracking, and it displays on maps with the track's color depending on the speed.

UK Ordnance survey maps on our wmp8x :D

Hi All
Well as those of us in the UK know the mapping options for hillwalking etc are poor for us on WMP at the moment and those that do exist are frankly over priced pieces of rubbish that either have a poor os map or none at all!!!
So I looked around and didn't find a solution and then remembered a solution that I once used on WM5 before I started using Memory-Maps..
Tried it and works a damn treat and best of all it's FREE...
So here goes...
1)Firstly you will need to install Navicomputer from the market.. Get it set up and syncing with skydrive/onedrive..
2)Then get on Google and find MOBAC but one that still has the map-sources for ordnance survey maps it will be between version numbers 1.7 and 1.8. Not sure which one has it as my MOBAC is one have modded myself to included OS map-source and is app version 1.9.16.
3)Install it and then choose Ordnance Survey map-source and set to area you wish(TIP...use ovimap to choose/highlight large areas then switch to OS before you click add selection).
Make sure when you click new(to create file) you choose navicomputer. And let it do it's stuff.
Just beware as the files can be large depending on the amount of zoom levels you choose! and also move the Navicomputer and data to SDcard too!!!! (I use sense storage app to do this)
4)When finished simply upload the map file to skydrive, Yes I know there is a PC sync app for navicomputer but it simply doesn't work...
5)Now in navicomputer go to files click sync button, go to skydrive option and choose import offline maps. it will give you a list of map files(if you have created more than one) choose and download the required file and that's it..
You now have Ordnance Survey maps on the wmp!!!!
Best part is you can create as many maps as you wish and upload them to skydrive so you will always have access to them(if you have data/wifi access) and you can use any map-sources you wish so not limited to OS maps or OSM maps either...
Hope that helps you all..
If so please let me know and any further suggestions you have so can improve this little guide...
regards
Lohtse

ohh yes I find this useful but 90% just use Here map or (paid) navigon)
I for example use Navigon

But it is very good for topographic maps

Very useful indeed!

Happy its useful info

Hi folks, is this still working for people? I'm on 1.8 and very very few tiles are showing up as OS. It looks like the application is falling back on open street map or some other "lesser" format. Thanks

Yes, I'm having similar issues, something seems to have changed on the back-end Bing website/service (where the old versions of MOBAC pulls the OS tiles from) in the last few months which has resulted in most of the tiles coming through in the standard Bing format rather than the OS. Strangely, some of the OS tiles seem to get through ok, and you can still get the OS tiles on the Bing website itself, so the imagery must still be available, just not served up the same way it used to be.
