Mobile GPS Tracking Service

October 30th, 2008 by odonata

Here we would like to describe a new update of GPSed website. Last time the users profile page http://gpsed.com/user/<username> have been improved greatly. As it was before, it is still possible to detect the latest user’s position on the map.

However the user’s profile page have many new features now!

  • We have added some statistic data on users profile:
  •  

    Entering users profile page you will find the account registration date and the date of last visit on GPSed. You will easily see the amount of featured tracks by this user and obtain information on how many photos were geotagged to the user’s public tracks, how many public tracks were uploaded by him or her on GPSed. And finally, you will find information on how many comments were left.

  • The latest public photos are now visible on users profile.
  • Find last 8 photos (from public tracks only) by selected user in his or her profile page.

  • Get information on visited countries quickly.
  • This is not only a list of visited countries.  Our service calculates the percent of visited countries of the world!

  • The block “Nearby GPSed Users” was added to the user’s profile.
  • The five nearest users could be easily detected and you will know the distance between you and them. The  “Nearby GPSed Users” are searched within a radius of 200 km.

    There are also some small usability improvements:  position refresh rate, the possibility to follow user, etc. The small overview map will help to determine the part of the world where user is located quickly and easily.

    Visit your favourite authors profile pages on GPSed! If you still don’t have your favorite authors we can recommend you Alex, DoLphin, Hitman and Vizael.

    With kind regards,
    GPSed Team.

    WOW, nice feature.
    Would you mind to add ability of author’s avatar and description creation?
    Anyway, user’s profile page make people closer to each other. I was glad to find someone, who walked on the same streets as me.

    Yes, we’re planning to implement user’s avatars, but not in nearest future.

    Cool! What I’m looking for is how to change maps from public to private and vice versa. Also, how do you delete them? Couldn’t find that in the FAQ…

    You can delete your tracks uploaded to GPSed.com by choosing appropriate menu-item in “Actions” menu at “Opened Tracks” tab (www.gpsed.com/map page). Note: you must be signed in with your GPSed Username/Password.

    You can make your Public tracks Private, or vice versa, in the same place - Actions menu in Opened Tracks tab.

    Another way to make all this actions is a track’s popup menu - just click on the track line on a map and popup menu will appear. Choose “Actions” submenu where you can delete or make private any of your tracks.
