Using Map My Tracks for the first time? Let us know how you are getting on and what you think.

HELP,

Downloaded the software to my Blackberry 8800 ATT Cingular

Getting this error message:

Error starting MapMyTracks: Module ‘MapMyTracks’ does not match codfile timestamp of sibling module ‘MapMyTracks-1’.

Next Step?

You might be better off downloading the .jar and .jad files that make up Map My Tracks Mobile to your PC first and use Blackberry Desktop Software to install the files to your phone.

If you don’t have the desktop software it can be downloaded via Blackberry

The Map My Tracks Mobile application files can be downloaded from

http://www.mapmytracks.com/install

Hope that helps.

Thanks for trying Map My Tracks hcburton.

I’m afraid that at present Map My Tracks is not supported by Blackberry. We have plans to roll out a version suitable for Blackberrys so keep an eye on the site for announcements.

Sorry I can’t be more helpful at this time.

thats a shame as more b/berries are coming with GPS now.. thanks anyway and i’ll keep an eye open.]

I’ve installed Map My tracks on my Sony Ericsson K800i, and it seems to work nicely. But, the tracking seems to never exeed a couple of kilometres. I’ve tried to keep the phone active, so that the screensaver doesn’t start, but that’s obviously not the problem…
The tracker keeps timing me, but the GPS-information just stops.

Any good ideas?

ulrik, you mention that the GPS stops. Can you confirm if the lon. and lat. still update when you are tracking?

To test this you’ll need to track then scroll through the display screens when tracking to see the last one that shows the lon. and lat. It would be useful if you can confirm if these are updating after you think the phone has stopped doing so.

Let me know how you get on.

Nope, they also freeze.
Check my tracks, they’re all a lot longer than what appears on the log.

ulrik, I presume that the application remains responsive and that you can still browse around? If that is the case it looks like there might be a memory issue with the phone. One thing to try is to use the latest version 1.2.1 that we have just released yesterday. V1.2.1 allows you to track without showing a map. If you try this it might help out on the memory problem and get you tracking for longer.

You can download the latest version 1.2.1 from your mobile at http://www.mapmytracks.com/install

Let me know how you get on.

Nope, it still freezes.
The timer keeps running, but the position freezes.

Also, when I abort I can’t start a new session without restarting the app. This might be a GPS problem...? I’m using a Holux GPSlim 236 (bluetooth).
