Any personal GPS tracking programs to view on on the internet?

Hello, since most of us have a new found GPS, I would like to use those programs that allows you people to go to a certain website to see where you are, and find friends that are close by, etc. This is specially useful to use it with family and friends or kids, when we want to know where are they located.
so far I have found out 2 programs, (FREE)
-Mologogo. http://www.mologogo.com/
-Livecontacts. http://www.livecontacts.com/
I was wondering if anybody found any others besides of these programs, because both seems to be very buggy and/or not so accurate. (mologogo showed like I was somewhere in the Atlantic ocean close to Nigeria!!!!)
Anybody had successful results with these?. Are there any other programs that anybody uses, free or paid?

Hi.
Next version of commmgrpro will include the posibility to send to CMP server Cell ID, operator and GPS coordenates (if available). In this way, with some weeks/months, the server will host a map of Cells (and operator) and GPS position in the world. So when the map is big then It wont be necessary to connect the gps. It will be enought to turn on the device. Then It will send the current Cell/Lac to the server and the server will convert it to geographical position. Then I will add buddy support, etc, etc and of course, posibility to see it using a web browser and google maps.

U CAN Animate Large weather radars and Sat's

Everyone At XDA has given me so much I feel like I need to Give a little back.
I learned this when I had my treo 650, If you hate the tiny radars and satelite pictures you get on your phone, or don't want to load the whole weather page from your local news site, here is my fix for that.
1) on your computer find the local radar or Satelite that you want on your phone. (if you want animated view, animate 1st.)
2)Move cursor over map and right click mouse. Select properties.
3)High lite the Address (URL) right click mouse copy and paste in an E-mail and send it to your phone.
4) once on your phone you can open the e-mail and just select the URL address and your browser will load it. Save it to favorite's and you got it.
You only have to do this one time is seems that updates and changes are automaticaly saved to the same URL address.
5)the following web sites I know work where I am. P=Pic/A=Animate
Wungerground.com (P&A)
Accuweather.com (P&A)
bigblue marble.com (P&A)
Intellicast.com (P)
(intellicast and big blue marble sat's photos are huge(date size) but pretty and detailed)
Noaa Radars USA (Use Standard Version link below NOAA Emblem) (P&A)
National Hurricane Center Sat's (P)only
Localwireless.com USA (P&A)
I used them during the 2005 hurricane season and was well informed
Try your locals and nationals good luck' Jami J
Java loads and Flash will not work on my phones (TREO 650) Or (TILT)
dose anyone know how to make them work?

Nice tip, thanks. I check Weather Underground every day on my PC but hadn't thought to try it yet on my Tilt.

Diamond Weather Custom City

How do you set a city that isnt in the default list?

afaik you can only use the cities covered by accuweather.com, and i think they are all included as default.

Can anyone please tell me if you can also see a wether forecast on the weather tab or does it only show you the current weather?

I don't have the device yet, but all the screenshots I've seen of the weather page show a soft button (bottom left of screen) option called 5 Day. I'm assuming that's the forecast view.

It is the forecast view indeed. Gives you the Hi and Low temps forecasted over the next five days with the right weather icon.

Thanks... now only waiting for the pro to be released... I am so tempted to get a Diamond. But then again, I want a higher battery capacity, the flash with the camera, more RAM, microSDHC slot... ehm and keyboard

Accuweather covers every city in the world, the database for the HTC only has major cities, in this case the ones in all the states. I live in Hickory, NC. Is there any way to get this by editing the database or some sort of update?

That depends entirely on where the weather data is coming from. If it's straight from Accuweather, it may be possible to do a registry edit or something similar to get the weather for other cities. However, if the data is retrieved from HTC, it probably won't be possible as they'd only bother processing the data for the cities available on their devices.

I'm guessing/hoping that it'll work alot like the Touch so you'll be able to show your local area through amendments in the registry as noted above and in the following link:
http://blog.commsconsulting.co.uk/2007/07/26/local-weather-on-the-htc-touch/

Ah, well, I'd say that the Touch Diamond would be very similar to the Touch, so a similar registry edit should work.

Jersey is listed on AccuWeather but I can't find it on the diamond
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...er&locCode=EUR|JE|JE---|SAINT HELIER&metric=1
Having a look for the reg key now, if anyone has found it already let me know!
- HKCU\software\htc\manilla

I Tried changing the registry to my city, but for some reason it goes to 6 cities all in asia?

Same thing happens when I change mine.
I thought it was because I was having to guess some of the Jersey code as it displays as EUR|JE|JE---|Jersey on the accuweather side but it looks like there is more to it.

My city is spelled wrong at the device.
Acuweather has it ok.
How do I fix that?
K

EUR|JE|Jersey would likely be Jersey in the Channel islands in Europe.
Wouldn't it be a bit more like USA|NJ|Trenton or something similar for a city in New Jersey????

Yes it would be for Jersey in the Channel Islands - that's where I am though
Be nice to get it working at some point, look's like there is something else that will be changing as well as just the string value as regardless of the value used it resets to 6 cities afterwards

Bad news
Hello guys,
I've managed to add a custom city to manila, but the bad news is, that manial will crash when it tries to download the weatherinformations.
here what I've done so far:
1. xxx_manila-file are SQLite-Database-Files... so get the SQLite Databaseprovider for Visual Studio from Sourceforge
2. Copy the file 2330fc3c_manila from windows-fir to your local system
3. Remove wrtieprotection
4. Open Visual Studio and add a new SQLite-Connection to that file
5. Open the Table "cities"
6. Add the City you whant to add (add one to the maximum id)
7. Close the connection
8. Copy the file to your device's windows-fir and override the existing file (user resco file-explorer)
9. Add the new location to the weather-tab
I will write a little program to edit the db-file soon... so you don't need a visual studio

I'd like very much to have mi city weather. I found the registry key too but if I modify the value with the code of my city it doesn't work, any news? I could try your solution importing the database file etc. but...will manila download the weather informations or still crash. I don't want to only add my city in the list, I want the weather of my city working.
Thank you for now

Hello,
I've tested now some other citycodes... no one worked... manily allways crash. I've no idea whats the problem... the "new city" is entered to the database as any "original". and the accuwaether-site for a city which work and a city which will crash manila are identicaly... sorry guys, but I think we have to live with the original cities.

I'm trying using your solution...I inserted the new row in the database and it's ok, but I can't overwrite the existing file in windows folder. I'm using resco explorer 2008 as you suggested. Any idea?
Thank you very much

Monitoring / disabling data usage on Diamond

All,
I have just received my HTC Diamond (using Vodafone network in NSW, Australia). I will be using it for phone and GPS and possibly also for (Exchange based) email.
I haven’t used Windows Mobile before, and am paranoid that I will (inadvertently) go over the data limit that my employer provides. The limit is only 100MB a month, and if I go over it is something like $1 a MB. I'd rather avoid paying this if possible.
* Is there a way to monitor data usage on Windows Mobile?
* Is there a way to configure email such that it only updates over WiFi or when connected via USB to my home PC (rather than over the mobile towers)? (My email alone would blow me way over 100MB a month)
* Is there a way to disallow any applications from any upload/download over mobile towers without my confirmation?

The program should be installed already, if not check your CD, it's the GPRS monitor if you are using GPRS.

Thanks - I just looked on the CD and found the GPRS monitor.
I then installed the software on the Diamond and set it up with my limit (100MB).
After that I browsed to a website on both Opera and IE. Both worked fine, but when I went back to the monitor nothing had registered (on the Chart or Report tab). Is this normal? Should it appear straight away? Any other explanation (could it have gone over something over than GPRS)?
Interestingly, there is a H at the top of the screen. Page 37 of the manual says this means I have HSDPA available. Does the GPRS monitor also monitor HSDPA?

Makes sure you have checked the date you are viewing the GPRS data, I am not sure how to monitor the HPDPA, I need to monitor that also for 3G, maybe some-one else can help with this?

Check out this free sofware from Modaco.com. You can disable your GPRS/3G data connection (useful when roaming):
http://www.modaco.com/New-FREE-Utility-t246171.html

I worked it out. Page 219 of the manual shows the 'Enable connection monitoring' setting, which I had not enabled. After enabling it - it works fine.

On which CD have you found it? I got that information in the Manual, but I can't find any PPC program on any of the cds (got 2).

can anybody upload this programm?
It is not available on my cd. maybe it depends on the country you live. I live in Switzerland

Its on the same CD as the manual. You run it on the PC and it is automatically downloaded and deployed to the Diamond.

Can you disable the data connection so it is never used?

Tell us the names of all of the files in the root directories of each of your CDs.

I would like that Oprah asks me if my WIFI connection breaks.. "Do you want to enable data over 3G? Yes / no"... 3G data is really expensive here.

The CDs are provided by the network hence the content will vary between them. They are not an HTC-provided (hence standard) item.

Location based public transport navigation?

Hello
I'm searching for a application which helps me to navigate by foot through Munich.
The application should calculate, subject to my location (determined by GPS or Cell ID) the shortest way home using public transport.
It must first give me the way to the next station and then calculate, with the help of online timetables of the MVV the fastest connection between this station any my desired destination.
Does anyone know an application which can do this?
Metro and CityAdvisor are not useable because they miss the location option.
Thanks in advance
Pudl
