Mobile Trail Explorer v1.7
I proudly present the release of Mobile Trail Explorer v1.7. Development team have created an excellent release that contains many highly requested features like exporting saved trails from phone’s memory. There are also new views such as satellite sky view which was contributed by Anthony McCormack. Development team have also grown as Gareth Jones joined in few days ago. Welcome aboard!
So what have changed? Here are the release notes for the v1.7:
- Changed Logging Levels to more “understandable” ones.
- Logger now states what level it’s currently logging at.
- Changed How Trails & GpsPositions are serialized
- Implemented a Version system, to allow for updates etc.
- Implemented an update feature for version 1.6 and lower
- Implemented re-exporting of Tracks that are saved in RMS (Issue 44)
- Satellite sky view (Issue 51)
- Track elevation view (Issue 31)
- Export saved trail (Issue 45/50)
- Added Sms Ability to send a GpsPosition/Waypoint as an SMS! (Issue 52)
- Drawing style options (draw whole the trail or end of the trail)
You can download the latest binaries from Mobile Trail Explorer page, and you can download the source code from Google Code project page. Let us know how it works? Do you like it or not?

Help.
When I start the midlet, it fails with:
Null Pointer
java/lang/NullPointerException
Logger.logger is null. The first time you access the logger, you must use getLogger(ReordSettings).
My phone is Nokia 6233

After deleting and installing Mobile Trail Explorer, the midlet works great.
Seems like the problem was caused by the “update”.

Support for the Nokia E90 GPS ?
October 15th, 2007 at 21:57
We don’t have any devices with built-in GPS unit so it is hard to add support for those devices. We will add support to such a devices as soon as we can have access one device.

Hi i’m using trail explorer 1.7 on my Nokia E65 here in Italy and it’s all Ok,
but I noticed that the mobile slow down when I start it.
Perhaps is the count down of the days that get slow my phone.. (e.g. 2 days from the last use) I think it get slow my phone, because I haven’t other programs installed on it.
Could you in next version of trail explorer cancel that function and not count the day from the last use?

Paolo: If you aren’t using the software then it shouldn’t slow it down. I don’t quite understand what counting are you referring to? Mobile Trail Explorer only displays the time from the last known GPS position so that user can see when he lost the satellite fix.
Symbian devices are well known to be buggy so you should check if there are any firmware updates to your E65.

Hi, would it be possible to add SonyEricsson HGE-100 support to mobile trail explorer? It’s the new corded GPS-headset from SonyEricsson. Actually there are only paid navigation-applications and a tracker without export-function like i use it with your software.

Soenke: I believe that it would be possible to add support for HGE-100. Only problem is that we don’t have access to that device and therefore it is quite hard to implement the integration code.
Do you know what protocol does it support? As it is corded it probably doesn’t support Bluetooth but it might work the same way as other integrated GPS units that use JSR-179. This is something that I have planned to implement as it would then work with devices like Nokia N95.

HGE-100
Sorry, don’t know the protocol. Just know about the HGE-100 compatible JAVA-apps.
Special version of Wayfinder Nav

Special version of Wayfinder Earth
http://ext-wf-dl.wayfinder.com/sehge100_earth/java/wayfinder_earth-java-jp7_240×320-sehge100-en.jar
there are also a Tracker and a GPS-Location app but I haven’t found a way to DL them from SE-homepage, yet.
Maybe you can get the informations about the protocol by a decomplied jar?

Tommi,
concerning E90 support - for how long would you need such a phone to examine it? I could send you mine for a period of time, if that helps. Alternatively, is there anything you could do remotely? Or (if I get reasonably detailed instructions what to do), I could do some investigation myself.

Andreas: Thank you for the generous offer but I couldn’t really borrow your E90.
On the other hand there is something that you could do: You could test our latest build that includes a support for JSR-179 (Integrated GPS). Beta can be downloaded here. You can activate the feature from the the development menu: Settings > Development Menu > Use JSR179
Please report how it works on your E90.

Ok, I downloaded the beta (needed to specify the jad-file at the same location) and could activate the development option and select the device under GPS device. It now allows starting recording, but says “No GPS fix.0″. That may be so since I currently cannot see any satellites. More info in the evening…
March 21st, 2008 at 13:20
So, well, it keeps saying “No GPS fix.0″ - it was not related to the signal availability. Can I do something else?
March 21st, 2008 at 21:27
Andreas: I created an issue for this problem and hopefully other developers will give some feedback so that we could solve this.
