Mobile GPS Tracking Service

December 24th, 2008 by odonata

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

I don’t know if there is this feature,but to me it seems there is not.I would like a feature for you to see and edit the uploaded tracks like the name of it an its status as to who sees it like public or private,when you log into the online account.

Hi there. I’m using Sony Ericsson P1i with memory card, but GPSed is storing tracks on my phone’s memory. Is there any way to store files on memory card?
Thanks

GPSed for Java Device doesn’t have an option to specify location of stored tracks at the moment. But we’re planning to implement it in future versions.
So, stay tuned.
