Practical Applications of Smartphones


Recommended Posts

Posted

The objective of this thread is to share one's idea on how to make lives or business easier through the use of amazing phone, aside of course of being a cellphone or a toy.

Just want to share what i've heard from one of my officemates here in Meraco. He said that Smart is offering a proposal for Meralco to use the smartphone as a meter reading device, wherein the meter readers will use the smartphone in replacement of rovers - a device for downloading and uploading meter readings. The idea is really amazing, however, the durability and ruggedness offered by the rover cannot be replaced by the tanager:!: :shock:

one of our clients before wanted us to develop smartphone-based apps for use in their inventory monitoring system. But when they saw our quote, nag back out. hehe... namahalan siguro. :)

Is there any SAP applications to trace exact GPS location? meron kasi akong makukuhanan ng GPS accurate maps, i'm just wandering kung pwede ma-trace ang specific location ko in that GPS map at ma-display sa SAP.

Is there any SAP applications to trace exact GPS location?

Global Positioning System....PaPaGO for Windows Smartphone yung name.

for that to work, you'd probably need a GPS SDIO module.

You'll need a way for your SAP to receive GPS satellite broadcasts.

grifter's right... and AFAIK there's no one manufacturing it at this moment...

@adi116

if you can get the accurate maps, be sure that it can be used for the win ce platform... IMO the maps that you can get has a .agf or .dwg file extensions which is suited only for pc windows...

correct me guys if i'm wrong...

Right now under development pa lang yung maps, ang format niya is dwg or dwf. Sa autocad kasi ginagawa, pero alam ko marami namang tools na pang-convert ng autocad drwaings to any format, i'll just inform you pag nakahingi na ko. kaya lang wag kayo masyado mag-expect, di pa talaga kumpleto, pero what i can assure you is GPS accurate ito.;)

Sana lang meron na ngang application to trace your exact GPS location. Hirap kasi tumingin sa mapa while driving. It could be easier kung meron ng ganitong apps for SAP.

Wow...you really think Im a programmer? Ang layo sa kinukuha kong course ngayon. :wink: Chamba chamba lang po mga ginagawa ko.

Any chance of converting those GPS maps into .bmp, .jpg, .gif? Pwede yan dun sa Tube software.

Bawal ba pirated? ;) :D

Hi guys

I'm sorry I cant read "Pinoy" (if thats the right name!) so could anybody translate this thread for me?

I'm interested in PaPaGO for the Smartphone, but I cant tell if it needs a GPS interface.

There's also this page which has the downloads, but I cant read much of that either!

Anybody there that can help me?

Posted

based on what i saw on the papago site, i think there are 2 versions:

1. requires an SDIO GPS module (pictured in the site)

2. a map only version (similar to tube)

Posted

Thanks grifter. I hope someday there will be SDIO GPS module available for smartphones.

I wonder if this one will work on our SAP:

http://www.findme.com.ph/_FindMe_Maps_Download.htm#

there's a download version for IPAQ. Tinry ko i-install, na download yung .cab file sa IPSM, kaya lang di pumunta sa "downloading cab.. choose location [phone/ storage]" dialog. Tingin ko naubusan ako ng space sa IPSM, chineck ko its about 600 Kb na lang, so, i deleted tha cab file.

Meron ba dyan na malaki pa ang capacity ng IPSM who's willing to try kung gagana? I already e-mailed them, requesting to develop a version for our SAP, pero baka sakaling itong for Pocket PC gumana.

any comments?

@ adi

baka yung cemail.vol is very large na, that's the one with SMS and email messages, that's why you've ran out of IPSM space.

@rodnav how do u edit the vol file ba? can it be opened? Posted from my SmartPhone!

@adi- mukhang di gagana sa SAP, kasi kahit sa pocketpc na hindi jornada, ipaq or cassiopeia ayaw eh.

Guest rodnav

there's a program called dbview, it's the program they used to get rid of the phantom sms.

unfortunately the database can't be migrated to our desktops.

@adi- mukhang di gagana sa SAP, kasi kahit sa pocketpc na hindi jornada, ipaq or cassiopeia ayaw eh.

I tried installing pocket pc apps to my SAP, yung iba gumagana, yung iba hindi. Dun sa mga hindi talaga designed for SAP sa umpisa pa lang ng installation nade-detect na niya na invalid yung device na pinag-i-installan. Dito sa case na to, when i tried installing it thru my PC, na-complete niya. Nadownload yung cab file sa SAP ko kaya nga lang di tumuloy kasi kulang na ko sa space. Is there a way na ma-extract yung cab file from the exe file para dun ko i-copy sa storage yung cab then try to install again?

Guest adi116

Mukhang tama ka nga tutut. Nakita ko na yung cab file, mukhang yung contents hindi similar sa contents ng cabs for SAP. Anyway, I e-mailed the developers, hoping that they would grant my request. I'll just keep you informed regarding the developments. Tingin ko mas ok ito kesa sa tube and other available map applications for SAP dahil ito localized na - GPS pa.

Yung mga sinasabi kong gps maps, mukhang makukuha ko na, kaya lang valenzuela and bulacan lang yata ang covered nun. I'll post it here pag hawak ko na! ;)

@adi

that's cool. i mean about the gps maps. maybe there'll be better other maps to follow. too bad about the software though.
