Hi,

A little post to inform you that GPS Recorder version 0.1.162 has been released.

ChangeLog 0.1.152 -> 0.1.162 :
  • Added : Pause/Resume feature (request #6287). A pause can be named (optional).
  • Added : 'Ask for a name when pausing' setting.
  • Modified : GPSR file format (v1 -> v2) to support Pause/Resume feature. Retro compatibility is OK.
  • Modified : GPX and KML exporters to support Pause/Resume feature (optional).
  • Modified : Internal list of allowed GPS fix step values so the GUI does not wait too long for fresh data (5s max instead of 120s).

Cheers,
Jean-Charles

A feature request:
This is actually two feature requests.

1) I'd like to be able to view "Cell Tower" information always, even when GPS-fix has been made.

2) When logging, I'd optionally would like to record also "Cell Tower" information to the XML-file. Later, this XML-file could be converted to a database for some other uses, where just known Cell Towers around and signal strengths to them, one could calculate position more accurately even without GPS.

Currently I do not know if it is possible to know also other Cell Towers around you but that what you are connected to. But if, those other cell towers and signal strengths should be viewable and recordable also if the aboves are implemented.

The answer :
GPS Recorder writes *everything* it obtains from the Maemo's liblocation into the GPSR file (it also shows it as well, as soon as it gets it).
But while testing the application, I observed that kind of information is rarely available. It *seems* to be available only when GPS data is not. Or maybe liblocation sends it only when CellTower info changes ? I don't know...

The only thing I can do for you here is to give you more details about the GPSR file format so you can export the data you need by yourself.
But I guess it would be really faster for you to build a very little application to gather only the data you want from the liblocation : I believe there is an application that already partially fits your needs which is called "Tower Cell Info" (package "celltowerinfo").

Sorry for that.

OK. It is a shame the liblocation hides that Cell info data when GPS-fix is got. Maybe there is some other library where cell info data can be get.

I tried the celltowerinfo application. It seems it cannot get cell info data either when GPS fix is on. This could be concidered as a bug in the liblocation maybe even.

Hi,

I've just released the source code of GPS Recorder under the terms of the 'zlib' license.
Here is the page of the package.
Have fun

Cheers,

great app!

yestarday I use it to keep photo positions of a journey but:
1. I see the *.gpsr file that I converter in *.klm to show path in google earth. But I can't find my "named point" !!!! I can't see them both in *.klm file and anywere in record directory.
2. it would be useful that program suggest a progressive numbered sequence when it asks enter a "point name"- But again, where are now my "point"?

Thanks for a very useful job.
Bye

Hi and thanks for your support.

1. If you think this is a bug, it would be useful to report your problem(s) to the bug tracker dedicated to this application here.
Don't forget to specify the version you use and to upload your GPSR file (not the KML/GPX/... ones) !

2. You can also post features requests at the same place.

Thanks.

Pardon me but I failed my tentatives to report this bug (if it is) in the proper area.
The version is: 1.1.168
and you can see the gprs file attached.

I guess the POI should be inside the *.klm , isn't it?
Thanks

Congratulations, you have found a bug
I've fixed it and I will release a new version of gpsrecorder soon.

Your snapped points has been written into the GPSR file but with a wrong ID (the bug) so the converter does not detect them as snapped points and skip them. This is why you can't see them into KML/GPX files.

I've manually corrected your GPSR file so you can convert it again from gpsrecorder and see your snapped points in KML file. Simply replace your previous file by the one I've attached.
