Raw NEMA Log File + N95-8GB creation….
I finally found the bit of software I was after for my n95-8b. It was a raw NMEA183 sentences log generator. See the Sports tracker logs are o.k. And yes it does create a very nice KML file for google earth.
But really three is a lot of data missing…. For example.. I can see only the average speed the max and min speeds. With a Nema Log file I can see the speed and elevation e.t.c at any point of the trip. Of course you need other software to deal with these files, but I have that from running things like OziExplorer on the R2H.
the software is called eGPSTrack . A Java App that hooks into the internal GPS and writes all the raw GPS data at an interval that is configurable by the user.
This is from there about page….
“eGPSTrack is a gps tracking Java application for mobile devices with J2ME and a Bluethooth , internal or serial gps receiver. It isn’t a navigator, it is a positioning tool that tells you were you are at each moment, and which route you have been travelling. It is primarily aimed at outdoor activities such as trekking, hiking and cycling
eGPSTrack can load calibrated maps (cartographic or satellite images), and show your current track, position and direction on the map, providing you a global view of your trip. Old tracks can be loaded and showed at same time as your current track. Tracks can be exported to GPX and KML files so that you can view and edit them on a computer.”
There are some issues with the software, for example it doesn’t handle the rotation of the screen very well, and occasionally wigs out a little. But it is a very low version number and it does what I want. So if you really want to track yourself with your phone, rush out and download this FREE application.
Oh yeah… and one last dig…. Try and do that on your non jailbreaked Iphone… leave a gps task writing in the background whilsts listening to music, making a log file via Sports Tracker and taking a call 🙂 Sorry had to get that in. 🙂
