Hello all - I'd really appreciate any help people can give me with
this.
I have GPS device (GlobalSat BT-338) that I bought so I can track where
I walk, and where I take pictures while I walk. Now I need something to
store the logs of where I've walked.
I have two potential devices - my Pocket PC (iPaq 4150 Windows Mobile
2003) and my Nokia 6630 (Series 60).
I really just want a program that logs where I've been - I don't mind
what format - GPX is useful for me, but I can convert from NMEA
sentences. I have tried various solutions:
GETrack: http://www.mobile-j.de/snipsnap/space/Products/GETrack
This seems to crash intermittently (as with everything else on my
series 60 to a greater or lesser extent)
PowerNavigator:
http://www.symbianware.com/product.php?id=powernavigation60&pl=n6630
As above - very nice (although no longer being developed), but crashes
losing my entire trail - this is less than ideal!
I guess in some senses my Pocket PC would be a better bet - it has the
advantage of bigger storage and it seems to be more reliable. The
trouble is I don't want to hold my iPaq in my hand all the time - I
just want to put it in a pocket and let it log - my phone has a lock
keypad function, but no such luck with the iPaq, so I need a program
that can similarly "lock" the device to prevent accidental cessation of
logging. Ideally this program would also be free, but I'll be grateful
for anything here!
Many, many thanks
Tom
