I just downloaded this software this morning so I could map out a kayak trip and it is exactly what I was hoping for. I'd like to see a more flexible screen layout though. I have an HTC Tilt and when you open the sliding screen the layout gets messed up. It's not really critical though. Just a suggestion. Most programs I've downloaded for free don't work right in landscape mode so it wasn't unexpected.

Great tool though. Tomorrow I'll be experimenting some with the FTP upload. I'm hoping to figure a way to mash what I can upload into a google map on my home page so I can see where my phone is at any given time.

With the ftp upload, here is what I recommend.
  1. First when checking this out for you I find a little bug and fixed it, so download MyMotion v1.01 from the main page, you will need it to get Upload working
  2. Use "Current Loc" as the Upload Type from the Preferences
  3. Fill out your ftp info and select Auto Upload
  4. If the ftp site/username/password you supply is all OK, this should post a file called LL.deviceid.kmz to  your ftp site each time interval or when you go Tools->File->Upload Now. The device ID is unique to your PDA
  5. You can pull down the kmz file via a PC script, program or something else of your creation, but what I found best was to use the <NetworkLink> feature with kml files. This allows you to link a PC based kml to a web based kmz via a URL and auto refresh at a specified interval. You can then just open this kml file up in Google Earth and it (and your PDA) will do the rest.. fingers crossed.

Here is a template network link kml file you can use (after changing the highlighted fields to your own values), just cut and paste it into a file and save it with the suffix kml, save it to your PC and open it up in GE (NOTE: you can also send it to other people if you want them to know where you are too!):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">
  <LookAt>
    <longitude>150.00</longitude>
    <latitude>-38.00</latitude>
    <range>10000.0</range>
    <tilt>45</tilt>
    <heading>0.0</heading>
  </LookAt>
  <NetworkLink>
        <description>Dynamic network link to name GPS phone</description>
        <name>link.kml</name>
        <Link>
            <href>http://yourwebaddress/LL.deviceid.kmz</href>
            <refreshMode>onInterval</refreshMode>
            <refreshInterval>400</refreshInterval>
        </Link>
  </NetworkLink>
  <styleUrl>root://styles#default+icon=0x307</styleUrl>
</kml>

Good luck. I hope it works for you. If it does, let me know.

BTW I have now added support for screen changing between Portrait and Landscape mode when the app is running. It is a little slow on each change because it has to sort out the graphics and reload the maps, but it seems to work reliably. The fix is in v1.02 which I have posted.
