THIS LOOKS LIKE A REAL COOL APP BUT ON MY KAISER IT SAYS WHILE TRYING TO REGISTER ( FAILED TO REGISTER AN ERROR MESSAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED BECAUSE AN OPTIONAL RESOURCE ASSEMBLY CONTAINING IT CANNOT BE FOUND ) IS THERE ANYTHING I'M MISSING .

THERE ALSO DOESNT SEEM TO BE A WAY TO REMOVE IT FROM PROGRAMS.

HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP .

MANY THANX IN ADVANCE .

I know it's not strictly helpful, but just a heads up to say I can already do this for free, with SportsTracker, on my Symbian SmartPhone.

AND then Web 2.0 upload it so all the world can see:

So would be nice if the same functionality finally made it to WM.

There's some other apps out there for WM that do this already...

[Guest Subliminal Aura]

Yup plenty of apps out there :

I'm using trackme : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340667

Works absolutely great !

Even works in realtime but uploading gps positions to my web server which is integrated with googlemaps.

The application needs an internet connection to request a key

There is no entry in your programs folder...

As it did not come with an installer, you don't need to uninstall - just delete the files.

[Guest Subliminal Aura]

Doh !

Abandon development and just use trackme :( It makes your app look like it was designed to run on windows 3.11.

No offence mate but it was a good effort

I had a look at the site, but according to the To Do list, there are still lots to do, AND it states that exporting .gpx files, uploading 'offline' at a later point, and running in the background, are all still"To Do".

So clearly not a patch on SportsTracker.

Additionally, in terms of Web 2.0 and uploading, whilst it's good that you can upload to your own server, for those that don't have one, I see major issues if half the planet upload to the author's own server, in terms of resilience and it's ability to cope.

But still, a good little app for WM - albeit PDA NOT SmartPhone versions of it only!

Thats strange.... I just start the app up with autostart settins and let it run in the background. It functions as expected by either uploading in realtime or saving points offline.

Mind you I'm only interested in saving kml files so can't comment about .gpx files

But you can save .kml files offline and read them in directly with googleearth so who needs a server anyway ? :(

I'm only going by the info on the site - but cool if so.

Friends and family if your intent is to let them track you in real time, which is what this was all about.

But nevertheless, it sounds like WM users at least have a basic platform to cover some of the aspects SportsTracker does. Cool.

Not a bad association - win311 applications work terribly fast on nowadays computers :(

No attempts were made to style the application - graphics stuff like compass, satellite display and 'style' will be added a later stage, we're more focussing on functionality now.

Of course real time position display is included already.

Hello sno

it took a bit longer, but a new version is available now.

This time it's shipped in a CAB install file, to removing it will be painless.

Wish you a Happy New Year
