We have great news for all of you who are tracking your impressions using J2ME phones. A new version of GPSed appeared for your devices!

Still don’t have GPSed on your device? Install GPSed Mobile for J2ME v. 3.5 and you will not regret. If GPSed is already installed on your device you can try the recent 3.5 version which we believe is even much better that the previous.

What have been changed?

Users of Sony Ericsson phones had troubles with GPSed Service before. The internal GPS receivers on this devices refused to provide the opportunity of GPS using. This bug was fixed and now people with latest Sony Ericsson phones, like Sony Ericsson JP8, could enjoy GPSed Service as well as the others.

Tracks could be exported now in GPX format (the most popular format for GPS tracks) right in GPSed application. This is also a new feature which was absent in the last versions of GPSed for J2ME phones. This was added in the track list menu as  “Export to GPX” menu item.

A new option “Keep backlight always on” was added in Settings. This option is disabled by the default. Enable it and have a backlight always on. Could be useful for people who want to conduct current speed monitoring, check current coordinates, travel distance, etc during the trip.

We have no doubts you’ll like the new version. Download it and leave your comments here.

With kind  regards,

Here we’ll talk about the List of Tracks which is available in GPSed mobile clients. To open it just select “List of Tracks” in the application menu.

The list shows names and statuses of all your recorded tracks.  Every track has some color and icon depending on it’s status. Let’s understand which icon correspond to which status:

The icon means that current track is recording at the moment.

Empty track (track which contains no GPS points). Such track is absolutely useless and could be deleted.

  Track is partly stored on server. Probably this track was uploading to server unless it was stopped and new GPS points were received from GPS receiver. Such icon indicates that the last part of points was not uploaded.

Track is completely on mobile device (no points on server). Such track could be uploaded to server by choosing of the appropriate item in the application menu. However, if some track was uploaded to GPSed web-service via web-browser, GPSed mobile application will not “recognize” such situation and track can still maintain “on mobile” status.

Track is completely uploaded to server.

As always, we are glad to receive additional questions and suggestions from you!

If you haven’t tried GPSed mobile application to track your trips, it’s time to check it out.  Application is fully compatible with BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Java devices with internal GPS receivers or external Bluetooth GPS receivers.

With kind regards,
GPSed Team

Now we really hope you won’t have any more troubles with Internet connection, ocasional stop of the track when uploading it on the server, sharing the tracks to the Social Networks (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, etc) and preventing automatic power down. The latest version is available for free download.

Thank you all for so many comments and questions we’ve got last week. As usual, we are happy to help and here we are with one of the answers.

Today we’ll discuss the most frequently asked questions on the COM-ports and internal GPS settings. On the page “View ->Track Details” you can get data on the current connection. The field “GPS Receiver” has the following meanings:

Selecting “Menu -> Settings -> Change GPS Receiver” an attempt to connect to GPSID is happening. If the data from GPS is obtained the user start using GPSID for the work with a GPS receiver. Otherwise the search of the GPS data source via COM-port is carried out. In that case you have to select appropriate source in the list of discovered sources.

You can also find a useful post under the title “Blackjack II GPS… ACTIVATED“.

As usual we are waiting for your feedback!

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,

There are two ways of track sharing:

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.

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.
