ahpoder has uploaded a patch.

Description:
In order to better get the accurate speed it is required to modify the sample frequency. For this reason an equation is added along with some default calculations as to reccomended sample frequency. Also adding the some minor fixes and a precision showing the DOP accuracy and the number of sattelites employed.

Description:
As I use this for running I would like to also have the time it has taken me to travel the distance, and for this reason I have added a time field. I have also added a precission field to show the DOP - precision as well as the number of sattelites currently employed. I have also modified the Track checkbox so it is functional as runtime and not just when you press start. It will however not stop the distance calculation and the time, so it mainly serves to limit the RAM requirements, as it does not add to the GPX collection.

Description:
Using simple spherical math it is possible to calculate a distance based on the GPS measurements. As I wanted this functionality I have added it to the program. It has a 50m schmidt-trigger-like functionality to prevent the calculating of distances when the system jumps back and forth between two locations. At present the system uses a simple 50m minimal distance change in order to consider the change valid, as 50m is about the worst case precision, yet the algorithm should be dependent on the quality of the signal-fix, which can be extracted from the GPS API. Naturally it is not 100% accurate, as the locations may jump a little to the sides, as well as a sharp turn may not be included. I find however that over 10km the inaccuracy is less than 5%

Description:
As it is at first difficult to know what the error is, if you forget to specify a file name in the My Documents folder, a default route name will be specified when opening FrmSaveData.

ahpoder has uploaded a patch.

Description:
As it is quite error prone to use the Save functionality, some error handling has been added to validate input and catch exceptions when saving locally. Also adding a message box if attempting to save toserver, as this functionality is not implemented. Also adding validating of ongoing tracking when using waypoint.

ahpoder has uploaded a patch.

Description:
As I have not been able to get Virtual Earth to work ,and the reccomended visualizer of GPX data (http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/) does not work with the GPX format implemented by the GPS Tracker. For this reason the gpx.cs was updated to support gpsvisualizer format. It should still be compatible, as it is merely an extra schema definition.

I need Wireless GPS antenna's with SDK compatible with PC/Tablet and mobile devices. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

CREATED ISSUE: GPX output conformance to standard

ahpoder — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 09:11:22 GMT

Hi,

I have recently downloaded GPS Tracker for Windows Mobile and was very happy with the easy build and deployment, thank you. Unfortunately I was unable to validate the GPX output and Virtual Earth merely drew a wayward-point. I visited the GPX standard homepage and found some possible discrepancies. After updating the code I was now able to validate the GPX file and also see the route on http://www.gpsvisualizer.com - I was still unable to get Virtual Earth to show anything other than a wayward point. I updated the GetGPX by inserting:

gpxXml.WriteAttributeString("xmlns:xsi", "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance");
gpxXml.WriteAttributeString("xmlns", "http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1");
gpxXml.WriteAttributeString("xsi:schemaLocation", "http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1/gpx.xsd");

After the creator attribute is written.

I also changed the text format to UTF-8 instead of unicode, as for some reason the software inserted

encoding="unicodeFFFE"

in the XML file. This last update is in miSaveLocal_Click.

NEW POST: Where is it?

thanks!

NEW POST: Is this project still active?

dutchnomad — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 08:24:50 GMT

Hello there, I downloaded the latest change set for this project and try to compile it with Visual Studio. However there were made some changes (deletes to be precise) that breaks the compilation.

Can this be repaired or is this project shelved? Who has a compilable latest version?

The coordinators of the project are not 'contactable'

Thanks for your follow up

CLOSED FEATURE: Add GPX format support

1. Client saves coordinates as GPX route. 2. Web service GpsDataStore accepts GPX XML file as data source instead of List. 3. GetTrip handler returns GPX file instead of GeoRssFeed. 4. Server saves trip as GPX route direct to Database as XML data type. 5. ~/UserArea/Default.aspx accepts GPX files. http://www.topografix.com/gpx.asp Comments: Change Set: 9557 Client saves coordinates as GPX XML file.
