HI,
DOES ANYONE KNOWS ANY APP THAT CAN JUST SEND THE GPS POSITION THROUGH SMS? (NO USE OF A GPS KNOWN SOFTWARE LIKE TOMTOM OR IGO)

Problem:
there is a GSM Module in my car. It has three functions:
1) Send alarm warnings (when someone is trying to steal the car or CD player) to my phone (XDA2) as a SMS.
2) Retermine car's location, when it is stolen
3) Remote control of Webasto heater (when standard radio remote control can't reach the car - max. distance is 800m)
Each of these function has a small problem:
ad1) XDA just once silently beeps when SMS is received. It is fine for regular messages, but not for that message saying "Someone si trying to steal your car!". So I need a different sound for received messages, depending on sender - the sound for SMS sent by my car must be louder and longer, than SMS sent by my wife! How to do that?
ad2) I'm using T-Mobile Locator service for that. I don't know if TMO offers it in all countries, but here, if you know LocatorPIN of some mobile phone, you'll immediately receive a SMS containing location of that phone. I also have a great navigation software and maps (2CDs) from TMO - so when your phone is connected to the PC, you can track location of your car (or even of your wife). But without the PC, you'll only receive a text message with approximate location (calculated from one BTS). On PC you'll get more precise position calculated from more BTSes. So I need to use my XDA as the PC - I want to see accurate position on the map. But I'm not sure if some PocketPC navigation map software (such as TomTom) is able to read the coordinates automatically from SMS in inbox. On PC you can use any GPS software with "T-Mobile Locator", because TMO provides a driver, which simulates GPS, but in fact it sends SMS location requests, reads the SMS responses and sends coordinates from them to the navigation software.
ad3) To start or stop or control other heaters functions, you need to send a SMS to your car in special format (syntax). There must be a 7-digits password for the car's GSM gate and SMS also must contain commands for the heater in proper syntax. So I'd love some application simillar to those applications for infrared remote controls - the fullscreen panel with buttons such as "Start heating", "Stop heating", "Turn winter mode on", "Turn summer mode on", "Auto switch-off after XXX minutes", etc... (all commands accepted by heater and/or climatronic). I'd define SMSes in proper format under these buttons (just once) and then I would be just pressing these buttons and XDA will automatically send the SMS. Is there such a piece of software (remote control software sending SMS mesages instead of infrared beams)?
In a worst case I would create that software by myslef. I just received a DVD with latest VisualStudio.NET from M$, I also have the devkit for WM2003. But I don't know, how to send SMS, how to read it from inbox, atc...
1 you need a 3th party program written by yourself or somebody else which pass all your emails looking for a code or frace which makes the xda react diffrently then when it gets other sms's
so you got alot of work ahead if you are doing it yourself or you may have to pay somebody money to make it or if you are really lucky there already is a program free or otherwise which you can use
2 i would look in the gsm api for any function you may also need to keep a list of locations to match what the gsm provider give you with something you can use for anything
not to mention using that list to make some map program know where you are at
3
well here all you have to do is make a today plugin which auto send predefines sms msg when you press them
i would think that all these wishes would require some programming some of them some serious programming
of cause i could be wrong and there already is a super tool which does all these things and make toast
good luck
I can't believe there's no such app!
Have you tried doing a search ?
I am pretty sure that exactly the same question came up a little while back.
Rgds,
Rob.
What is the GSM Module? Also does it have a GPS module as well and can you connect it to the XDA II to give a GPS feed for Sat Nav purposes?
I am after a device similar to the one you've described but I want it to also feed GPS data.
Hi
I have an XDA2i and a leadtek BT GPS working together well, But Have only just got the XDA2i and want to use it for navigation and as a phone!
incoming call seem to work ok TTN5 mutes I talk on my Plantonics BT headset end call unmutes...
Making a call seem difficult while driving as there is no voice dialling running and searching contacts is difficult to see and operate!
How do others do this? Is there a dial that will display the contact list on double clicking the headset that uses a big font?
has anyone tried a headset with call display an directory browsing such as BT800#? if so do they work with the XDA2I
Any advice or help appreciated as at the moment I can't see me getting rid of my other phone!
i use Phoneplus. works great on my i-mate... http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=13354
Thanks, I will give it a go.
I also use phoneplus3 but you can also create POI with phone numbers for all the important numbers like home, work and friends then you can call them directly from within TTN5 via the 'call number' button in main menu 3 of 3.

Thanks, I have already added numbers to TTN5. I found and like pecaller, unfurtunatly it has a number of bugs like not remebering the groups etc.
So I'm using phonepluse but if they get the bugs fixed I would switch to pecaller and its free!
Thanks

Adrian,
You may try VITO Voice2Go for voice dialing or VITO QuickContact for finding contacts and calling with joystick (one-hand operation program, no stylus).

Hello,
i want to buy a gps tracker for my son and be able to look where he is by sms receive and read the lat long into TOMTOM 6 or 7.
Did you now if a special import programme exist?
I here from navideo but dont have receive any answer from the company with my request.
Tanks in advance
Try Navizon. Works great with touch cruise.
Garmin Xt also has that option.
Gps exchange
Thanks for the answer.
I look quickly navizon but as i see i dont use sms coordinate. You must use NAVIZON ON LINE.
I am interessed to use sms with gps lat long coordinate and see the location without use internet connection.
I can donwnload google map for necessity but my tarif plan cost to much for internet use.
As I told before Garmin XT has that option. It is called peer points. You can send and receive the coordinates and see them in the gps map without having to pay anything besides the sms.
Thanks a lot pereirald,
I will try it look great your information
Is a petty that kind of function didnt exist in tomtom or that no small plugin exist.
Hello pereirald
I look the manual and i see that this sms exchange are only avaylable for GARMIN product.
It can be that i don't read good enouth in English.
In my case i have to use a GPS TRACKER that not give the possibility to change the sms header and message.
Thanks in advance for your replay
Hi pako1
I think that in that case you have to introduce the coordinates by hand (probably the thing you didn't wanted to do) and so it doesn't matter which software you have on your polaris. I think almost all have the ability to introduce coordinates. I thought that because you were still going to buy the gps tracker and so you could go on a Garmin product for your son and XT for you. Anyway , hope you get what you want

Hi Pako,
I think you need something like
1 - MobileJustice, Sprite Terminator or some other piece of so called "Antitheft software" that is able to receive an SMS and reply with the present GPS coordinates (device with GPS intern/external).
2 - The SMS sender is the easy part (any mobile phone will do);
3 - transforming the recieved SMS coordinates in a point on a map may be done by Google Earth or any of those pointed in 1)
Good Luck / Hope this helps
thanks Ulopes,
but your answer is not helping me.
The fact is that the gps tracker send "SMS WITH LAT LONG" but from my HTC CRUISE i cant see in automatic the location on a map without access to internet ( my internet gsm plan is expensive).
I need :
1) read sms from a application
2) locate the lat/long coordinate on a map without any external connection ( NO WIFI, NO GPRS, NO TELEPHONE)
3) It will be wonderfull read this coordinate from SMS INBOX and watch it as point in TOMTOM O garmin xt or in a GOOGLE MAP CACHE.
I think that this kind off application will be helpfull for a lot of application as:
CHILD GPS TRACKER, CAR LOCATION, security location of bagage ecc
Ciao

thanks Atego,
sms location is not correct for my use because i dont need to send sms with lat long.
I try to find application that can read GPS LAT LONT SMS and watch the position intoo TOMTOM NAVIGATOR or an other map software but WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION NECESSITY AND NO HAND WRITING.

I too have been trying very hard finding this kind of software but without success. Phonetracker will not work for me because my tracking device is Benefon TWIG Locator that is not supported for TomTom Navigator or Google Maps Mobile. Strange that it is supported for Garmin Mobile XT only.
I have also tried
GPS.PI http://www.jgui.net/gps/gpspi/
OXI2OZI http://www.frada.net/ozi2ozi/ozi2ozi.htm
But without success with my devices
HTC TyTN II, WM6.1
Benefon TWIG Locator
Is there anyone out there knowing about a useable solution?
and what about non gps
is there a solution for non gps phone?
i want to recieve a phone location (from cellular network) by sms.
is there a solution for me?
hi
1) can i pre download google maps? eg if i am going to thailand, is there a way to d/l the map first? accessing internet while roaming is expensive!
2) can i set so that prior to the sms being sent out, i get a confirmation box?
sometimes i accidentally touch the send portion and out it goes..
anyone? please...
I haven't found a way to preload maps for google. The only way i suppose is to hook up to your house internet, scroll and pan the maps on your desired zoom level painstakingly. note, different zoom level count as different maps.
i dont liek the idea of d/l on demand.. prefer things like d/l first.. aka nokia maps.. can we BUY nokia maps for wm6?
or is there any good program i can BUY? i dont think there is any good freeware for such..
i need maps in southeast asia... singapore / malaysia / thailand
2) anyone got solution for sms confirmation b4 send?
hi where can i get tomtom text to speech voices for the navigator on the diamond. i think i have tomtom navigator 7 with US maps. i bought this phone off some one on ebay so i am not sure. is it possible to just get text to speech voice and isntall it?
I believe TTS is not supported by the PDA versions of TomTom.
