GPS Server Application

[DaveOke]

All,

I'm working on a GPS Server application for the Vogue. From a high level perspective it is an app you can run on your phone and from any Windows computer and google earth, can see you position remotely. Ultimately I want this to become a recovery tool. Let say if you lose your phone, you'll be able to launch google earth and locate it.

To Implement:
- Dynamic IP address updater. Sends an update *somewhere* so you don't have to use the HDR debug menu to get your IP.

Done:
- GPS Server. You can connect (if you know the IP address of your phone via the HDR debug screen) and can NMEA data from the GPS.
- Google Earth connectivity: Available though a open source tool called com0com and tcp0com.

I need some help though. Once the screen is turned off the phone stops transmitting GPS data. Is there a way to bypass this?

I used to listen to music through the pda and there was an app to turn the screen off but doesn't put the pda in standby. You can turn off automatic standby in the power settings.

something like:

hope this helps.

I am very interested in this app, currently I use accutracking but i have to pay a monthly fee. One of the functions in there that i think is very important is if you could save the waypoints when it detects no tower signal then sends the saved waypoints when the signal comes back.

I think "unattended mode" is the answer you're looking for. Try this article as a starting point:
