Enjoy the new look and new features of GPSed for PocketPC and Smartphone!

We are happy to announce a new GPSed update for Windows Mobile-based devices! You can easily compare its interface with the previous version and we hope you’ll find the recent one more attractive.

We’re sorry to keep the WM audience waiting for a bit more time than BlackBerry and J2ME users. But still, the new look&feel is here and we like it very much. And yes, it’s the most important part of this update.

Another nice feature we have here is “track autopause“. Now the track pauses automatically if you decide to stop for a while. Every time you take a break, you don’t need to stop the track by yourself. Moreover, your WM-based device can be now prevented to enter the sleep mode, if you want to keep it on all the time. All this features customizable via application Settings.

This update also includes several dozens bug fixes which we believe will make your GPSed experience trouble-free and more enjoyable.We highly recommend you to download the latest version. And keep us informed on your experience!

Yours,
GPSed Team

Stay in touch with your friends and relatives when you are traveling! Let them know places you’ve visited and your current location. Share your tracks obtained during trips to the Social Networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc!

There are two ways of track sharing:

1. By Internet from web-site GPSed.com

2. By mobile phone with GPSed application installed

Here we’ll discuss the possibility to share tracks from your mobile phone. To post a track to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc you have to enter your login and password. We guarantee that GPSed does not save your logins and passwords to the Social Networks.

Below are few examples of track’s sharing from GPSed Mobile Application, check it out. Images are clickable, so you can look at sharing results in original profiles of corresponding social networks.


Track sharing to Facebook (you will need to add me as a friend to see my profile)


Track sharing to MySpace


Track sharing to Twitter

There are several cases to share tracks from your mobile phone:

  • Before starting to make a new track: User receives a proposition to send a track to his friends to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc to follow him during his trip. In that case the mobile client will send a post to these Social Networks precisely in that time when the first points reach GPSed.com. This way of sharing is realized by appropriated dialogues in a process of new track creation (the user also could disable this function).
  • During track recording: The user have already started track recording and decided to share it with friends. This could be realized in menu by “Upload” and “Share” functions which are valid during track recording.

Several days ago we have updated GPSed Mobile Application for Blackberry version 1.0. This is not a beta-release version now, at last. In this update several bugs were fixed and two features were added:

  1. Possibility to turn on/off backlight right from GPSed application. Could be useful for people who want to conduct current speed monitoring, check current coordinates, travel distance, etc during the trip.
  2. Now it is possible to use “Reset GPS” function in Settings which drops current connection to GPS and starts this procedure from scratch. The feature was added after users’ requests.
  3. In last versions users encountered with difficulties in tracks uploading on the GPSed.com website. Now this bug was fixed!
  4. Wrong conversion in GPX format was also fixed in last version of GPSed for Blackberry.

To download a new version please follow this link or point your Blackberry browser to wap.gpsed.com and follow the instructions.

Looking  forward to your comments and improvement suggestions!

Now it’s turn for BlackBerry owners to rejoice: we’ve just made a new release, labeled as 0.999 (oh really, does that 0.001 make any difference? :) Right after J2ME and Windows Mobile versions, it’s now possible to share tracks to Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Blogger. Besides that, now we’ve got a nice auto-zooming track preview screen in track recording mode. We’ve also fixed a handful of bugs, including a quite annoying one that caused exceptions during long track records.

We’re happy to announce a long-awaited new release of GPSed for Windows Mobile. Application has become much more stable and user-friendly. Besides important bugfixes, this update includes a bunch of new features. Most of all we like the new feature of sharing your tracks with friends on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and Blogger. When you start a new track, it only takes one touch of a button to post it to major social networks so your friends will follow you. You can as well share your existing tracks.

New WindowsMobile client features

With the new version you can create track waypoints with text description, and register new GPSed accounts right on your PocketPC or Smartphone. We thought it would be nice for you to know about the following improvements and bugfixes:

  • Application memory usage has been significantly decreased. Moreover, tracking for a long time does not consume much memory anymore.
  • GPS support is improved
  • Completely reworked user interface for uploading tracks to GPSed.com and social networks
  • Fixed problems with weird track “jumps” across oceans and continents
  • VGA screens are now properly supported
