GPS Tracka - A lightweight GPS logging application for Windows Mobile 6. Logs to a GPX file which can then be used to geotag your photos or imported into other applications.
This application uses the GPS receiver on your Windows Mobile phone to log your coordinates to a log file at regular intervals. Its purpose is to track your movements while you are out so that when you get back home, you can import those files and use it with whatever application accepts GPX files.
For example, I used it while I was on vacation in Greece and I then used a geotagging application to import the GPX files, match the datetimes against the datetimes on the photos and then append the GPS coordinates to the photos. The end result is that my Greece photos are geotagged and appear on the Flickr map.
Usage
Once you have the application up and running, click on Options.
Verbose: Sometimes, the GPS logging may not work (inside a building, train, new country, alien invasion, etc). If you click verbose, the textbox will start displaying the raw GPS NMEA data being received by the receiver. If you understand it, then good for you, else it's something cool and complicated to show to your uninterested friends. But the main parameters you're looking for are GPGGA (location) and GPGSV (satellites visible). If you want to understand it, you can read up on NMEA sentence information. I also recommend you use this the very first time you run the application to figure out which COM port and Baud Rate is right for you.
Clear: This clears the textbox.
Settings: This takes you to the settings screen where you can specify the COM port, baud rate, and where to log the GPS data.
- Baud Rate: The data transfer speed. Different GPS receivers use different speeds, so you will need to experiment. I use 4800.
- Comm Port: This drop down is the COM port that gives you your GPS data. This may be different on different phones. For me, it was COM1. You'll need to determine this for yourself by setting it and using Verbose mode.
- Polling Rate: How often the GPS data should be logged to textbox or file (when not in Verbose mode). I usually set this at 300 seconds. Minimum value is 60 seconds.
- Logging Options - To File: To log to file, tick this checkbox and then select a file by clicking the "..." button. It will ask you to specify a filename as well - write anything, it's not important, GPSTracka will ignore the filename. It's the folder path that is important. It's best if you create a "GPSLogs" folder in "My Documents" or on your Storage Card and then specify that path.
- Logging Options - To TextBox: The best way to know that it's working is to keep this box checked, so that you can see the values printed to the textbox as shown in the screenshot.
Start: Obviously, this starts the logging. If you selected Verbose in the options menu, it'll give you all data being received in the textbox. Else, it will log the data at the specified interval to the textbox or file.
