Gps Logging

Hi all I am running TomTom 6 on my Spv M700, are there any add on programmes I can use to log a journey. If not I am thinking about buying a GpsBug that will show the route taken on Google Earth Maps.
Many Thanks

there are plenty of apps which do what you want!
try noni gps plot(freeware) or other commercial software like 'Run GPS', 'trackpal'....
they keep a track of variables like speed altitude plus lots more and can be imported to Google earth. just do a Google search for em

I use Miomap3.2 on my trinity and you can log your rounte onto any map you have, this helped me back track a taxi's route that he toke accross Bulgeria so i could get back in a hire car, Perfect! plus its alot smaller than TomTom, Give it a try sometime

You can try TrackMe (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667). It does all you want (I think)

I use GPSplot ( http://aeguerre.free.fr/Public/PocketPC/NoniGPSPlot/EN/index.php )
to track and export to google earth. The site indicates also how to create a google earth background..

i personally use Run GPS, its for training, exercise etc it even handles multiple google maps with zoom function as backgrounds for tracking! you enter your personal info and it calculates how many calories you used etc.. don't know how accurate that is tho!

Thanks for all the replies, I am trying to run a tracking/logging programme while I am running Tom Tom 6. I don't expect to see the log on TomTom but would like to access the route afterwards. The problem I am having is my Orange Spv M700 that has Gps internally will not allow any of the splitter progammes to split the Gps signal between two progarmmes.
i.e. allow Tomtom to run with track me. I can run track me but not have TomTom running at the same time.
Thanks for all your help guys.

Thanks for the reply. Event Logger is not compatible with TomTom Nav 6. I have since managed to split my Gps port and I am trying some of the other programmes suggested.
Again many thanks to everyone.

I suggest you to buy an external data-logger device, like Wintec WBT201.
You can adjust how to log, e.g. every second, all 5 meters and so on. And you trinity don´t have to be on all the time.
After your journey you can sell the wintec.

How exactly did you manage that?

I wanted a Gps logging programme/tool that i could use all the time not for a 1 off journey, I managed to split the port on my M700 by using Gps gate. Unfortunately I purchased a programme called Navio which logs journeys in Nmea format, using this and my tomtom at the same time slowed up my M700. I can use both at the same time using Gps gate but as I have explained everything runs very slow and tomtom locks up now & then.

Google maps as gps and tracker

Hello friends...
so exist googlemaps api and stuff... many people knows how to use it (not me =/) so i was thinking.. would some one make one program that do something like this:
http://www.nseries.com/index.html?l...diaries#l=campaigns,n82,urbanistadiaries,home
i mean, every now and then you upload the position of your mobile google maps and it tracks your path thru the world....

something like this .....you want the basic version which is free. and a little How-to here

there is also trackme, produced by the good folk here that does the same thing

Thank you guys...im giving a try in each one...
just a last question... i was hopping that any of theese programs use the google maps triangulation position for localization... this happens?
i dont have a gps system.... =/

Link to GPS app from Contact List?

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

Store/record tracks using GPS device

Guys and dolls,
i was wondering if there is an app that can record the track that i drove, walked of biked using GPS device in our Diamond. It should record location, time, date, routes, speed, etc. Something like the trackstick .
Being scared of the battery drain for this request, of course this should work without using the wellknown navigators like Igo en TT.

I use http://gpsed.com/ when I'm running. You can upload your track directly to the webpage and see where you've been on a satelite map. You can also choose to download the data to your computer.

There is an excellent tool developed by one of the members here. It's called GPS Cycle Computer, and you can find it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424423

thnx, will try both suggestions!

I used TrackMe, another GREAT program (including server where you can draw you route on googlemaps)
Search for it on this board.

GPS marker

Hello
I'm looking for GPS application that will allow me to save to file (or sth) my current position as a GPS dump (the same as VisualGPSce does). I don't mean logging path I'm walking but one particular point.
Can anybody help?

Every moving-map software should be able to do this, it's just setting a waypoint to the current coords. I use Pathaway 5, but there should be free alternatives.

Thx for the answer.
Yes, I know that every navi application can do things like that (it's called POI), but I need something faster, simplier - run, mark (yeah yeah, GPS fix, I know), quit

Have you tried footprints?
