Bluetooth GPS on HTC 620

2009-01-07T20:33:16Z

I am using HTC 620 (Windows Mobile) with a Holox 541 Bluetooth GPS. The GPS appears as COM6 and I believe that the Baud rate is 9600 (tested with Google maps). The application seems to work well (ie Java is working well) but I cannot set up up the GPS successfully. I go to Settings, GPS and then choose Manual, COM6 and 9600. Whenever I try to use the application, I just get the message ...Standby - which I take to mean that it is still searching for a GPS signal. Help please
Thanks, John

Not recording tracks on SE G700

2008-10-29T20:12:37Z

Hi there,

tried the MapMyTracks software v1.3.1 on a Sony Ericsson G700. Using the software is a bit awkward because it does not support the touch screen. My GPS module is a BlueTooth RoyalTek RBT-1000 which is working fine with a Wayfinder navigation software.

The problem is: When I start tracking, the software records the first waypoint but then cannot communicate with the GPS module any more (writing “Acquiring GPS” on the screen). The GPS is detected without any problems under “Dashboard” - “Settings” - “GPS” but communication is lost after receiving of the first waypoint. The same problem occurs when I use “Where Am I?” - location detected and shown on the map, but then the message “Acquiring GPS”

Is there any special setting that I have forgotten?

Kind regards,

Blackberry 8800 no input possible

Hi,
I installed the 1.2 version of mapmytrack without any problems. But if I want to use it and start the programm I can only use the enter-, esc- and the menu-butten. So it isn’t possible to select a menu-item. Because there is no user assigned the software want me to do so. So I’m in the user-item and the keyboard is displaied. I’m not able to scroll the cursor with my trackball and it is also impossible to use the keybord.
The firmware of my Blackberry is up to date and I’ve done a cold reboot (replace batterie).
Has anyone a solution for me? :-(
Best regards,
FritzB

Do you support GPS file upload instead of live phone transmission.

I love the interface for reviewing your tracks but want to upload a file from my Garmin Foretrex 201.
Do you plan to support file upload in the future?

Connection Error - server unavailable

2008-12-21T16:58:41Z

When trying to start trac I always get a “Connection Error - Mapmytracks server unavailable”.

I can use the “Where am I” feature and it shows my location. Have double checked my username & password.

I have a Sony Ericsson K530i on Virgin network and am connecting to a bluetooth GPS receiver.

Anybody got a fix??

problems with tracking on Nokia E65

2008-12-15T08:35:25Z

downloaded the new version 1.4.1 yesterday on to my E65 (had problems previously with my Nokia 6120, though might be a lack of memory problem). Anyway, phone syncs to my Emtac Bluetooth GPS fine, starts recording fine but either the GPS location won’t update or the GPS will update for a short while and then stop. Programme is still running, timing is counting, only no GPS updates.

I use same GPS with Nokia Maps and everything works fine… any ideas?

Great product guys!! I really like it! I just wish I can get it going! :-)

MMT 1.4.1 does not load

2008-12-10T20:38:51Z

Hi there,

just installed MapMyTracks 1.4(1) on my Sony Ericsson G700. Installation went okay, but I cannot start the program. The Java logo shows up, and then - nothing more.

Tried the signed and the unsigned version - same result.

Also tried with BT on and BT off - still, program does not work.

Kind regards,

Using other program for upload (Pathaway pro)

2008-11-14T12:25:37Z

Is there a way to use Pathaway pro for uploading tracks? It has position sending feature, as well as password settings and several formats to chose between.
I run a HP iPAQ, and Java seems not to work even though it has Java ...

MapMyTracks can not find exteral blue tooth GPS

2008-10-31T22:54:04Z

Hi:

I have a Moto Q system and have Map My Tracks installed per directions. I am logged in on both the web page and my phone.
When I attempt to go to GPS and setup. The screen says searching for devices but never finds the device. The phone can detect the device, since I use Google Maps and Live Search on the phone. Is there another way to setup the connection. The GPS is a Navibe. I know I have good satellite connection because I have a solid connection light. Any suggestions would help.
