Here we would like to describe a way how to access track files on your BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Java devices.
When a track recorded it’s always stored on your mobile device. This file may have .gpsed or .gpx extension if you exported it in .gpx format.

Many users have difficulties when they need to find track files directly on their mobile devices. We want to explain you how to find track files and how to upload them on your computer.

Lets start from BlackBerry handhelds. By the default for every BlackBerry device these files are stored in a phone’s memory by the following path: “store/home/user/”. A user could change it and save the track files here “SDCard/BlackBerry/gpsed/”.

For Windows Mobile Pocket PC or Smartphone.  First find a track name in Menu.  All tracks are stored in the system folder “Application Data/GPSed”. To copy track files on a desktop from your device use ActiveSync application.

In Java version find “Send via Bluetooth” option in Menu to upload track on your desktop. Please note that this works only for .gpsed files. If you have converted your track to standard .gpx format you can find the track files in the file system. The application will save track files on a Memory Card in the root folder. If Memory Card is absent, the application will save track files to the “Device Memory”, here several options exist:

•   SonyEricsson will save files in /Other folder
•   For other devices (Nokia S60, etc) .gpx files are stored by the following path C:/My files/Images/

We hope you will find our tips useful. For any questions and suggestions please leave you comments here.

Have a nice winter holidays!

Sincerely yours,
GPSed Team

A new version of GPSed for Windows Mobile contain many new features and improvements. Algorithm of waypoint creation was improved greatly! In the previous version the waypoint was created when “OK” button is pressed. As a result of a high speed of your movement you can create a waypoint which is situated on some distance from waypoint you wanted to create. This happened because users have spent some time for waypoint name entering. In the current version of GPSed waypoint will be created when the appropriate menu item is selected. This is exactly the moment which users need.

The trouble of the wrong displaying of the track recording time was fixed in 2.1.5 version.  Distance calculation is more precise now! There are also many other fixes which we believe will bring you much pleasure. The most important characteristic of this version is Pro functionality.

In the previous posts we informed you that GPSed Pro version for BlackBerry phones has been released. Now we are happy to announce that GPSed Pro version for PocketPC and Smartphone is coming out! With GPSed Pro mobile application we tried to cover all your requirements. Pro version include several new features which make GPS tracking process more convenient.

All features that you have already got accustomed to use in GPSed free basic version you will find in Pro, but new features make GPSed Pro really efficient. Pro features for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile handhelds are nearly the same:

• Lifetime support via e-mail. Our technical specialists will provide you with all necessary information and help you to solve any problems with GPSed Pro version.

• “SOS” button for instant position alerts over SMS. Wherever you are you can instantly notify your friends or relatives about your current position via SMS. They will receive a link to the page with your position on a map. Your device must have phone module!

• Live tracking with small time intervals (up to 3 seconds). If you want to share your real-time position this feature is for you. GPSed Pro can work over TCP/IP, that allows to update your position during tracking really often and minimize mobile traffic consumptions.

We are planning to implement even more features in Pro version in future updates. Please find below comparing table of GPSed basic and Pro version at the moment:

Key Features	Basic version	Pro version
Live and offline GPS tracking
Adjustable Live tracking modes
Public/Private tracks
Sharing to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and others from mobile
Lifetime support via e-mail
“SOS button” for instant position alerts over SMS. Note: your device must have GSM module
Live tracking with smallest time intervals (up to 3 seconds)
		More to come in future versions

Recently a possibility to install GPSed Pro version appeared for BlackBerry users. GPSed Pro contain several new features:

• Lifetime support via e-mail;
• “SOS” button for instant position alerts over SMS or e-mail;
• Live tracking with small intervals (up to 3 seconds).

We have improved this version. Let’s describe in details what have been changed:

•  Algorithm of the address book work

In the previous version when the application started the address book was opened. This caused a certain delay of the application running especially if the address book contain many contacts. In a new version our users can select the appropriate contact from the addess book when it’s necessary without time-consuming. You will not waste much time when you’ll decide to use a “SOS” function during your trip!

• Algorithm of waypoint creation

In the previous versions the waypoint was created when “OK” button is pressed. As a result of a high speed of your movement you can create a waypoint which as situated on some distance from waypoint you wanted to create. This happened because users have spent some time for waypoint name entering. In the new version of GPSed waypoint will be created when the appropriate menu item is selected. This is exactly the moment which users need.

• Background mode

In the previous version it was possible to switch in the background mode only during track recording. Now the background mode is running even if the track is not recording but the device is still continue to receive coordinates. How this feature could be useful? Now by pressing “Enter” users immediately enter the application and additional satellite searching is not happening.

• Bug fix

Also a bug concerning GPX format was fixed in the current version. GPX format was modified and now it suits all standards.

We hope this update will bring you much please and you’ll find new features useful. If so, leave your comments here to keep us informed on your thoughts and impressions.

With kind regards,
GPSed Team
