It’s not a secret that the track becomes more exciting with picturesque photos geotagged and places of interest marked as a waypoints. The descriptions of geotagged photos used to be edit just directly in Picasa or FlickR photo albums before. The same with waypoint descriptions which were edited just when the waypoints are created. When the track is completed, a process of changing photos and waypoints descriptions was very complicated.

But now you can absolutely forget about that. You can edit photo and waypoint descriptions easily now directly at your track’s page. Also, you can delete any waypoint if necessary. To change photo or waypoint description you have to sign in your GPSed account first.

Put your mouse over the uploaded picture or waypoint on the track page and find “Edit” button next to it.

Сlick on “Edit” and write a new description for your photo or waypoint. Do not forget to press on “Save” button. The process is easy and your photos descriptions could be edited any time you like. This will make your tracks more informative and exciting.

Please note: photo description will be changed only for GPSed website (not for Picasa or FlickR).

Have some suggestions for us? We love your feedback!

Yours sincerely,

In spring we announced the release of a brand new GPSed Monitoring Service. Let me remind you that GPSed Monitoring Service is rather useful for those who want to track mobile objects on the map in real-time.

Let’s say you own a cargo company and want to track your vehicles in real-time, or  have little children or aged relatives that need to be watched at all times. If that’s the case  you will be excited about becoming a GPSed Monitoring Service user and will get the latest update of the application right away.

So, what’s been new? The “Alerts” tab was added on /monitoring/dispatch page.

It allows you to check all “events” (so-called “alerts”) which happen with your “objects” (switch to off-line mode, speeding, start/stop, connection lost/recover).

All registered users are welcome to update GPSed Monitoring Service for free! Just configure the alerts for your objects and view the events’ log. Now you will know when the tracked vehicle stopped, speeded, etc.

We hope this will be useful for GPSed Monitoring Service users. We love your feedback and waiting for your impressions impatiently.

Kind regards,
GPSed Team

Summer, the most lovely season for trips, has come. Do not forget to take your mobile device with GPSed application installed on a vacation and you will not regret. The summer for our team started with GPSed Web Services improvements.

The number of GPSed users and tracks uploaded are increasing every day. And we are happy to meet all of you on GPSed website. Nevertheless some of you probably noticed small troubles when our Web Services freeze occasionally. Sometimes this could happen as every day new users are coming and lots of new tracks are uploaded.

As we started searching for a solution, database refactoring was conducted. We are glad to inform you that GPSed Web Service should not be slow anymore.

Hope you’ll find this improvement useful. Stay tuned to more news and have a great summer!

Kind regards,
GPSed Team

As usual we are trying to improve GPSed service to make it even more useful and convenient for our users.

Now we have updated cities database and also algorithm of locality determination was changed. After such changes the locality determination became even more precise.

How it could be useful?

Now you can get more detailed information on your tracks or the tracks by other users. Open you track, click on the track line and choose “Track info“.

Get an information on the country and locality where the track was started and where it was finished.

The track could be started in one country and finished in the other:

See an example

Or started and finished in the same country but in different localities:

See an example

Learn more about your tracks and the tracks by other users now in more details.

In one of the previous posts we have announced GPSed Monitoring Service for tracking mobile objects on a map in a real-time. Now some new options were added.

• Disable Google Map overview

When this option is activated a mini map will not be visible on every Google Map of our service.

• New tracks by your subaccounts are private by the default

All tracks by your subaccounts are private by the default even if their status was “public” when the track was started in a mobile client. The status of your subaccounts tracks could be always changed on “public” manually.

At the moment GPSed Monitoring Service is available for a free beta-testing. Register with a trial account and get free unlimited access for 30 days. Create up to 50 subaccounts to try out the service. Beta testing is open until the end of February, hurry up!

As GPSed Monitoring is a rather new service we are waiting for your feedback. Leave your comments and help us to improve our service, to make it better!
