Hello,
Does any of you know about GPS logging software that can run in the background? I'm not talking about a tracking software. I'd just like to see, in ie. a graph, my speed, distance, altitude, etc....not my location. Something like Nokia's sports tracker.
Has anyone a clue?
There's loads out there ... I use sportypal, and if you go here there's quite a comprehensive list of software available
Or here's another one
Thank you very much! I suppose somewhere in that list and the 2 you mentioned, there's got to be one that calls my attention. Thanks!

VIto FindMe lets you send your location via an encrypted SMS to a friend also using Vito FindMe and then allow them to input the co-ordinates into Google Maps to see where you (and they) are at that time.

Downside is the fact that it appears to be currently working with "Pocket PC Phone Edition with built-in GPS receiver". May have to wait for the possible GPS unlock later this year to test it with our Moguls.
Just as info...
Hi, i've already post it on the gps unlock thread, but for someone who wish interesting free navigation soft... Get a look at
http://www.gpsunderground.com/forums/index.php
If you like vito, try Vito smart navagtor, that combine all the Vito tools...
And may be Tracky will interest you.
Also Navizon and Reperion may be tryed.
In fact when i've got my P4000 the tech supp, was tolding me that the gps chip of my device was not locked-up, and that i should found and 3rd app that fit my device....(that techn was less knowing than me lol)
So i tried many app.
Gpspassion may also be an interesting forum for info about gps...
Wish will help you, to dicover the gps interesting worls.
P.S. in community that you're looking for (net tracking) you'll find tools like registring for you and your friends point of interest like: automatic speed radars cameras, speed limits( the soft will advise you of over-speed), many other geocatching funny tools.

Advantage get localisation in city or subway (like subway maps) were some other gps failled, but in regional area it"s really not the better one's 'cause it need cell towers)
yea but taht VITO FindMe doesnt work with 6800 tho
Does not work with 6800 yet !!
True... Mentioned it in my post. There might be a work around to get it to work though and considering the talent of the forum, I am sure someone will find a way.
FindMe generates position errors of up to 150 metres when I try it. i think it may be miscalulating the lat/long in decimal from the lat/long returned by the GPS. GPS is OK with all other GPS apps I have run on my Kaiser (v1615).
Apart from that it's a great app
I am looking for a good software so I can track my phones that I give out to my workers and i would want to see it on my any computer and phone.
thanks
There seems to be a flurry of this request, the second one in two days.
This may well be exactly what you are looking for:
Where Is My Phone?
Reperion and TrackMe are what you are looking for, they show the up-to-date phone location on a Google map.
gsm...
This is for GPS or GSM...http://www.fightersoft.ro/mts/index.htm
Hi, Does anyone know of a really good sports type gps tracker software?
I'm a keen cyclist and i'm sure there are lots of other outdoor types who would welcome a good, easy to use application with a full feature set. Samsung have just launched a phone with this in mind, Nokia already have one so it must be a growing market.
I had a Nokia N80 and downloaded Their Sports Tracker application and it was great. Just the stuff you needed - Timers, average speed, max/min speed, altitude, climing speed etc, even took out standing time (i think). You could upload to google maps if you wanted which was fine but not essential.
The Samsung mentioned earlier has music too geared to your activity.
I've tried lots of PPC apps like tracky and trackme and GPS tuner but the just dont seem to fit the bill, they are either too heavy and complicated and use too much memory or they are too simple with not enough usefull data.
I'm really suprised Windows mobile haven't got a better app for this - or maybe there is and I just don't know it yet.
Any Ideas - suggestions?
Roger
for you the same: dont douple post ! one question is enought, try search, this is a developers page.
This is the kind of application I wanted as well, so wrote one myself:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424423
It looks I should have posted it into Development thread instead?
This is just wishful thinking, but if I put it out there, maybe someone will think up/know a way to make it happen:
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a way to pass a given Contact's address to the GPS app of your choice?
Does anyone think this would be something they could code, or know of an app that can do this? I'm not tied down to a particular GPS application, and would be willing to look at other Contact Management apps as well.
Cheers,

It seems that i was able to do this on my old blackberry with telenav installed so i don tsee why it would be that difficult to do it on a windows smartphone.
I use nav4all which enables me to do this easily. It's ram intensive, but works very well. I have been using it for months, actually and it has some very nice other features, such it's ability to recalculate your route if you take a wrong turn, etc.
Live search will do this
Doesn't TomTom do this ?
Tom Tom does this and I'm pretty sure google maps does this as well
Hello,
I have not been able to find anything about my problems in the search except for the GPSBot which I am currently trying.
I realized problems with simple GPS tracking with Ozi (Version2.19) and Tracky - both registered versions.
Actually I am not that sure anymore, how tracking with Ozi 2.19 has to be performed, because the new design is driving me crazy, but when I realize to do so, it continously stopps tracking without any information or actions from my side. Same with Tracky.
TT7 btw is working absolutely fine. No problems with lost signals or stopping the navigation.
I use Bepe 093.
Any other proposals for a good GPS-tracker (only) ? I would like to have my soaring logs saved somehow as GPX files for further use and to archive. Doesn't matter if Ozi, tracky, or whatever sw to get it.
Any ideas ?
thanks in advance
Best regards
Holger
I used a trial of GPS Tuner the other week which worked well, I tracked a hike up Great Gable in the Lake District, worked good. but I did loose GPS while it was in stand by once and after that I just kept checking it every 20 mins or so. Seemed ok after that. then Exported the track file straight into Google earth at home.
Lots of other usefull functions too, only thing I would say is that it is quite a comprehensive app and I ended up using 2 batteries, in 7 hours.
I am testing some other tracking programs at the moment which are just tracking only. so hopefully lighter on the battery. Reperion05 & WMMiniGPS not actually tracked a walk yet so no info on these yet.
Thanks M8
Thanks a lot for the hint. I will try these two, also.
I hope it works.
I found a feedback that WMMiniGPS on Diamond would not track altitude. For soaring of course thats mandatory information ...
As far as I have more experiments how these two work, I will give additional feedback.
Best regards
Holger
Your welcome bud, I hope you find something that works well for you, I will be looking into the altitude issue as when climing mountains it is also important. I really would like to use GPS Tuner again but think it may be too power hungary for the Diamond battery. I will know more when I have tested the other programs.
Try here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-tag-gps.html
This is were I got the 2 free apps that I have yet to test.

So far no success
Hello,
I checked
Reperion05 - I cant get it to work
WMMiniGPS - seems to work without the height :-( ...
CHTi - not getting it saving in GPX or KML format, dont understand the SW
VisualGPSCE cant save GPX or KML
MapWelt (based on etk) - cant find diamond internal GPS
MapNav (Java) - does not look too bad, but no GPS found
TrekBuddy (Java) - does not look too bad, but no GPS found
Actually Tracky seems to work ok, with BotGPS, but its such an overkill and battery drain ....
A simple and small GPS tracker app would be great ... no fancy design, no maps, only GPS record setup (all X seconds or > xkmh, ...) GPS status, Start, Stop, and directory to save the GPX or KML files ....
I would do it myself if I could .... Is there a free Visual basic development environment for CE with an easy GPS interface ? then I would give it a try ...
Hi Holger,
I use NoniGPSPlot freeware on my Diamond. It works pretty well. To save power NoniGPSPlot provides the option to switch of the display (Options/Tools). If I also switch my phone to flight mode (phone off) the battery survives tracking for about 4h.
You find NoniGPSPlot here --> http://aeguerre.free.fr/Public/PocketPC/NoniGPSPlot/EN/index.php
