Uploading GPS Info

Hi There
Ive tried searching high and low for this type of feature and I cannot find anything. Let me explain..
What I want to do is on my Pocket PC with a GPS unit, is basically have a program running that grabs the Long/Lat data from the GPS at a specified time interval (say every 60 mins) and uploads that to a website or FTP via GPRS.
What I plan to do on the website side of things is to have the website read from that data and load Google Maps to show where the person is!
Anyone already know a program to do this kind of thing?
Thanks in advance
Gary

Hi
I have made a program that will get the gps pos of a device and send it back to a pc via SMS it can send it to a server over gprs.

pjcltd is there any chance of a copy of the program.
Darthgus, hers a laptop solution, I am sure there is a pocket pc solution somewhere.

GPS
Try www.pocketpccreations.com
I have used it to get the location of an operator when tacking data. I have not tried to run a timer it get the data when a user clicks the button. You have to add the gps custom point.
Let me know if you need any further info.

Heh, thats exactly the sort of thing but with Pocket PC. I wanted to get the POS to a website, then use the API of Google maps to show the position.

Yea, Im not really wanting to run a program like that to do it, basically I just want something sitting in the background dropping the GPS point every x mins or x hrs type thing to a website/ftp.

We use this for our workers on the road. They send back positions every 10 seconds via their XDA & we track them on maps in the office.
However, it's part of a larger 2-way data app.

Cool will be good to have a look at, but not much use without some code or whatever as I dont want to send sms's but upload the data to a http/ftp site.

I look forward to testing this program. How do we get the unlimited version if we find it useful?

I've just installed the latestst T-Mob US 2.26 rom...
Is there any tweaks etc that will allow tomtom directions to come through the BT headset rather than speaker phone... it would also be good for listening to music etc via the bt headset...
any ideas anyone?
thanks

hi Mike,
thanks for the link - gave both methods a try - didnt work
cheers anyway

This program is what you need. I've only tried it with Windows Media Player, but it should work well with others.

Where's the program?
Hey. Sorry I'm probably being reeeally stupid here but I can't seem to find a link or anything from Blue streak to his program. Sounds like a great piece of kit but dunno how to get it :shock:
Thanks

It works fine, buyt you have to be logged in to view the attachments...

Hi, i'm trying to get my bluetooth headset to work with audio also but I can't seem to know how to install these 3 exe files. Could you please show me where and how to install these applications? Thanks.

Guys, VJVolubilis might be able to do this.
Use the AGON and bluetooth features.
V

No need for install...
just copy the exe to your phone

thanks guys. The files work great.

Monitor out for 8525 (Hermes, TyTn)

Is there a way to connect my 8525 to an external monitor? My bluetooth keyboard and mouse work great -- now if I could connect an external monitor, this can become one hell of a tool!

This sounds cool, not sure what I'd use it for at this moment but still a good idea.

Does anyone know if there is a cable that can do this for the 8525?

not the anwser you are looking for
I know this is not what you want. The link below is to software that will allow you to view your phones screen on your computers monitor, and control it with your computer mouse and keyboard.
My Mobiler v1.0
Maybe it will be the answer for some people.

Definitely not what the OP was asking for, but damn cool just the same.
Thanks for that link. I'm not sure I even wanted, let alone needed that app, but I'm certainly going to use it now.

anyone know is this exists
I have been searching for something like this as well. If anyone knows of a cable for monitor out or if it is even possible I would appreciate knowing as well thanks.

Well, you havn't tried SOTI POCKET CONTROLLER yet. That one is commercial but has even lots of other stuff integrated, such as screen capture, screen recording and a DOS prompt box ...

There used to be...
There used to be a manufacturer making SD cards with TV-out for making presentations from a ppc. Not seen one for a while! If I remember correctly you used to be able to get them from expansys...
Happy hunting!

can u tell me which version of TomTom works ok?
Thx

the one I use is version 7, smart phone edition

I got TomTom installed but i wait for ever to get a satellite lock.
And I never do.How long do i have to wait to get a lock?
What settings are we supposed to set in order for it to work. My HD locks in 2 seconds when sitting next to my Snap.
Also is there a quick GPS app in the Snap?I couldnt find it.
Thx

I use Garmin Mobile XT now, check it out http://www.bupahs.com/2009/10/garmin-mobile-xt-smartphone.html

I just hope i never get your problem with mine. Im getting one in a couple of days. One of the reasons why im upgrading from my dash is so i don't have to use my bluetooth gps.
Wish me luck!
EDIT:
Well I got my phone and I've got the problem. I wait forever and i never get a lock!! What should I do?
EDIT:
Yay it works now . It was pretty obvious to fix it in the end (If it is called fixing) There is a program called quickgps in the startmenu. Press download and it downloads details about the satellite so its easier for the gps to get a lock. I have only walked around testing it and it seems to be working good so far

Idea for a cool Winmo App: Trackpad

Hey guys,
I don't know if this has been tried or thought of. My mouse just died, and am waiting for it to charge, and I thought, hmm, it would be great if I could use my HD2 touch screen as a giant trackpad for my PC. The idea would be that you connect your HD2 to the computer via bluetooth or usb, and then launch this trackpad app which would really just give you a screen like what I have attached and then you have a trackpad! I know the app will be pretty useless for most cases, but it could be a cool replacement for some people.
Just a thought...

program called gremote lets you do just that . ....

Awesome! Thanks for the info

No problem, Gremote , there is a older free version, works over wifi, and bluetooth, very nice fun to play with ...
It really does work nice ...
Be sure to google it and find the home page, there are some cabs floating around but they only have the phone part not the part that needs to run on the PC ...

wifii?? are u sure?,................i thought it only works by bluetooth

Nope I have the older free version and it uses wifi.. You have to install a client on the PC.
