In response to reports from Jorma and others regarding problems with commas in MakeMyMap 1.2 I have improved the functionality to trap this and other problems.
Since you folks have taken the time to give me feedback, I'll give you first opportunity to try the new version.
Please let me know if it works then I will put a link on the main page.
Here is the fixed version: http://users.bigpond.net.au/ian_pendlebury/makemapsetup130.exe
- from the topic: MakeMyMap 1.3
The program does not assume portrate or landscape, it uses the dimensions as supplied by the system. It also supports changing orientation while active. There is no user setting for this, it is automatic.
If it is not working then the new dimensions are not being passed to the OS correctly, maybe due to whatever utility you are using. Changing orientation should work, I have tested it on several different devices.
Use the arrow keys on your device, or if you have no hardware arrows use those on the virtual keyboard.
Mymotion
Hi paliadim,
No there are no guidelines or manual, I've been too lazy to write one. Sorry.
There is some online help within Mymotion (not complete though).
Probably the best source of information is this forum, if you can take the time to search.
I don't think anyone has asked about "display track" before. It would not surprise me if it has some limitations on what was in the .kml file and probably needs some debugging. If you could send me the kml file you are trying to use, that would help me a lot (use the Messages option from this forum and send me a private email with the kml file attached). If you do that I promise to look into it.
Hi Sparko,
Mymotion should do exactly what you want: open up a previously recorded track and allow you to look at the summary data. It is something I do regularly.
Not sure why it is not working for you, possibly something to do with the way you have the GPS com port mapped?
I guess (strictly speaking) I should close the GPS com port when a file is open (since Mymotion will ignore the GPS data until reset), but I've never had it cause a problem or have it reported as a problem...until now. Next time I do an update I will look at this.
Thanks for the feedback.
Please have a look at the instructions here: http://mymotion.lefora.com/2008/05/18/how-upload/ and see if that helps you
Hi Chuck,
Exception: 0xC00000FD indicates "stack overflow". I have not seen this before.
What works prior to the crash and where does the crash actually occur?
Is there plenty of free memory (both program and storage)?
Just in case it is a difference in default stack space on Windows CE I have built a test version with much bigger reserved stack. I will send you a private message with download instructions.
In my collection of gadgets have a Navman S50, which is not full Windows Mobile - possibly some version of WinCe, I was able to get MyMotion running using instructions from here: http://navmanunlocked.wikispaces.com/Install+Programs . Whilst not the same situation, some of the dlls and instructions listed in here might help you (maybe ExecutabilityCheck ?).
Version 1.14 that allows user definable file name formats is now posted.
You can get it from the main page http://users.bigpond.net.au/ian_pendlebury/mymad.htm
Go to the tracks tab under preferences to see the new option.
Hi Chuck,
Here is the list of system dlls loaded by MyMotion on a Windows Mobile 2003 emulator, this might help you identify what is missing off your system:
tshres.96.dll
shutil.dll
shellres.dll
tshres.dll
commctrl.dll
aygshell.dll
cellcore.dll
oleaut32.dll
ole32.dll
ossvcs.dll
ws2.dll
coredll.dll
compime.dll
Do you really mean Windows CE 5.0 or do you mean Windows Mobile 5.0? They are not necessarily the same. Windows Mobile is the target platform for MyMotion.
If you use File Explorer and find the folder Mymotion installed to, then tap MyMotion - does it work then? I'm wondering whether the installation failed for some reason.
Windows Mobile 5.0 or even 2003 should be fine, I test on both.
What exactly doesn't work? Is there an error message?
I will make the file name scheme user definable, so you can get what you want. Check back in a few days for a new build.
BTW I prefer 2 chars for the year to keep the name short (and visible in file manager). Anyway, it will be user definable...
Thanks for the feedback. I agree that the UI to set the Waypoint is a bit clunky, but you figured it out :-) Probably the best way would be a context menu, I thought about that but it is also more complex. So, I think I will leave it like that for now if it is working OK.
Don't hesitate to make other requests in the future, I don't often have time to look at this, but when I do I enjoy it.
OK, I have implemented waypoints in version 1.13
You can get it from here: http://www12.asphost4free.com/ipendle/mymotion113.arm.cab
Not had much testing yet, so I would appreciate any feedback.
You can set a Waypoint from the menu, read in waypoints defined via Google Earth and save them back to a Google Earth file.
You can set waypoints to load each time by going to Preferences->Tracks where there is a new field.
Once loaded you can fly to/from waypoints same as you can for maps, using the File->FlyTo menu.
Currently there is a max of 512 waypoints and the FlyTo menu will only show the first 30 or so.
Thanks for the feedback.
That is a good suggestion about waypoints, I've got some time over the next couple of days so will see what I can do....
Hi,
If the GPS signal is not good and the number of satellites drops then there may be some error in the position. Under poor signal conditions an occaisional 80m error wouldn't surprise me. This typically happens if you are close to tall trees, in woods or surrounded by buildings. It also sometimes happens (for me anyway) when out in heavy rain.
I don't think there is any generic problem with the software, it has had a lot of testing.
If you use in "run" mode there is some extra filtering and smoothing to try and take account for poor signal conditions.
I guess either Google Maps has some smoothing of its own, or maybe you used it under different conditions.
There is a newer version here: http://users.bigpond.net.au/ian_pendlebury/makemapsetup144.exe
Worth a try, but I have not seen the problem you describe.
What versions of Windows and Ge do you have?
Do you have access to a different PC you could try?
