are these files updated? recent changes??
i like to try this as cyeung did :)

doesn't show the correct gps coords from the locupdate.py
even when i export the kml file and opened it with google earth
it always end up somewhere in ocean in the african continent heheheh :eek::p

im now good :) :D:p:o;)

Hi,

Any chance to modify any of the stuff discussed in this thread to provide the functionality outlined in Running a marathon with the N900?

Thanks,

Magnus

They are always the latest files. The only changes I made are from yesterday adding support for basic auth to the client so that you can secure the web interface via .htaccess (Google Earth asks for the password, too. Google Maps doesn't work then because the google servers can't parse the password protected file) and some optical tuning for the interface of the web page.

Nice to see. Sorry but the project was on ice for a few months due to time issues.

I don't think this moves into the direction you are looking into. This doesn't show any information to the user. It's intended to run in background and show all information in Google Earth or a Web-Page. Disctance/remaining distance/average speed and time are not that hard I guess (and are a very good idea), still they would only show up on the computer and in the debug view on the phone.
For the sms update have a look at smscon, it sends your location (with google link) to every mobile that sends a specific codeword to your phone (also an email if you want). I don't know about twitter as I'm not using it, guess the API is not that hard but I won't do it.

I would love to write an optional GUI for the script (especially for the settings) but I'm completely new to maemo programing. If someone wants to make it it needs the following to work with the server:

get GPS position, speed and bearing
get a url like http://server/update.php?lat=*LATITU...bear=*BEARING*

That's in fact eveything and also the reason I didn't bother learning GUI-coding yet, python was the easiest I could find to achieve a connection to my server (even thought my connection watcher and time settings do not really work) but it worked for me and then I stopped until now.

I thought key in the database could be misleading as "key" is sometimes used instead of "id" and so I made it German (well without the ü), then date got German by incident too :p

Figured out. Nice solution with these python and php scripts.

Where exactly did you put it?
the time.sleep(600) i mean...

yeah which file do we need to edit to add that delay? xterm is cluttered with the scrolling/polling of gps data

Being a Python newbie myself as well (ny-hardcore: no pun intended), I found a quick workround for similar need by simply adjusting the originally defined wait state in file locupdate.py;

Code:

preferred_interval=location.INTERVAL_10S)

.. into;

Code:

preferred_interval=location.INTERVAL_60S)

- being equal to fixed 60s update interval.

<note:added per notices>

Additionally, you may or may not wish to consider adding shebang/hashbang into the header; at least yours truly did not seem to get the Python script initialized without generated erros until having inserted the *shebang* into file locupdate.py.

To insert shebang into python client's header section, let's first check the abs path to be added as a substring from N900 shell prompt;

Code:

root@N900:/gps# which python

/usr/bin/python

root@N900:/gps#

Now, let's add the shebang as a first line entry into file locupdate.py based upon above query response;

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python <-- to be added as 1st line entry

My 2 cents.
