-----=: app/views/About.html JSON Location Tracker About Written by [1]Paul Miller in frustration of the absence of Google Latitude for the prē. At the time of this writing, there did exist other homebrew projects with similar functionality, but none on Github — or with the precise feature-set desired. It was later discovered that Latitude is already (kindof) on the phone. But you can do a lot more with the Google Maps API than you can with [2]Latitude anyway. Bugs and problems should be reported in the Github issue tracking system. If that is not possible or not desireable, use the [3]feedback email address instead. [4]http://github.com/jettero/jlt/issues The entire source for this app and sample websites in various languages can be found here: [5]http://github.com/jettero/jlt Further release candidates and unreleased versions are usually available here first: [6]http://jettero.github.com/jlt Copyright This app and most of the CGI code is Copyright Paul Miller 2011.

This app is not intended to complete with or connect to Google Latitude, which has a similar mission. It may interest you to know that Google already pushes Latitude functionality to the Prē, but it's hidden.

Along the left, they describe the number of readings taken and how many were accepted by the webserver (e.g., 2 reads, 2 posted). Along the right, the app shows when an HTTP (aka AJAX) request is running (e.g. HTTP running)^1. In addition to the text messages, there is a slider and there are three LEDs. The slider indicates the buffer fill status. If the slider is full (filling left to right), it indicates the buffer is full. Consider increasing the buffer size if this happens frequently. The blue LED indicates some type of GPS activity. Usually the blue LED indicates a new read being buffered, but it can also indicate buffer overruns. When a buffer overrun occurs, the blue LED will light with the red LED simultaneously. The green LED indicates some type of HTTP activity. Usually this activity relates to a successful data POST. However, when a POST fails, the green LED will light along with the red LED. Post URL To edit this field, tap-and-hold for a second or two. The field resists accidental edits. It is the URL at your website you wish to post the GPS data to. There are [1]samples in several languages on github (see the About card). The Post URL is is the full path of the CGI that should collect your JSON location posts. The format of the posts is listed in a file called "[2]PROTOCOL" in the distribution (ibid). View URL The view url isn't used internally. It is only used when sending your location to friends, where it is effectively pasted into the message. Update Intervals There are two ways to acquire GPS data from the webOS. First, you can ask for a fix, and second, you can subscribe to the GPS system and it will give updates as often as it likes. In practice, this tends to be roughly every second. When switched to "Continuous Updates", your device will subscribe to the updates and store them as often as they come. Alternatively, you can set the app to ask for a fix only after waiting for a certain amount of time (called the Update Interval) after receiving the last fix. Buffer Size While waiting for upload confirmation, this app stores the GPS fixes locally. In slow network locations, a larger buffer may help ensure successful uploads — however, it will also consume more local resources. If the current GPS fix is "very close" to the last location, the app will store additional timestamps rather than duplicating the gps fix. The buffer setting affects this timestamp queue also. The app will store up to three times the buffer size worth of timestamps in a single message before overflowing. That is, if the buffer size is five messages, the app will store at most fifteen timestamps per location entry and only five locations; giving at most: seventy-five readings, if everything happens to line up just right. When the message buffer is full and a reading comes in, an older messages will be shifted off in FIFO order. When the timestamp buffer of a fix object is full, it will push another message into the queue instead. Tags and POI In the lower left of the control panel is a submenu for tags and POI. If you have noticed a Point of Interest (POI), click POI to send a note to the webserver. This message will be transmitted exactly once and the interface will attempt to get a fix as soon as possible — despite any slower update intervals, as above described. Trip tags, on the other hand, are sent with each fix. They're intended to give text labels to each fix (e.g., "drive to work", "drive to cottage"). Send View As a convenience, the JLT may be instructed to prefill an IM/SMS or Email with the viewing location of your gps data. The contents of the message will be little more than the view url (if set) above described. Authentication Authentication (if required) depends on the endpoint and related negotiation. If requested, the JLT will pop open a browser for authentication purpopses. WebOS keeps browsers and apps completely separate though, so the only way to get the authentication token from the website to the application is to cut and paste it over. For this reason, the browser has an (i) button you can press that will pop up a token request window. Simply copy your auth token — typically the id of a session on the webserver — to the dialog and press the set button. Side Notes ^1 The number of posted messages will sometimes lag behind the number of actual reads because of two factors: 1) webserver acknowledgments do not contain a count and 2) occasionally a reading will be lost when a fix message is acknowledged but has gained timestamps after the message was sent to the webserver. This behavior is not considered to be a bug at this time. References Visible links 1. http://github.com/jettero/jlt/tree/master/cgi/ 2. https://github.com/jettero/jlt/raw/master/PROTOCOL
personal settings, like post and view urls as well as the update interval are reset to their default settings after closing the application and reopening it. This is happening in version 0.9.2.
Any negative number cannot be an UNSIGNED variable, else the database will simply insert 0 instead of the correct data
I recommend updating the gps.sql by simply removing the word UNSIGNED for longitude and latitude to solve the issue.
When I downloaded your app from the Palm store and tried to change the Post URL I can't. Any ideas?
When in continuous mode, the app queues up a "fix" that does not have timestamp or lat/lon values. This clogs the system, because it can never be removed (the server has no timestamp to return and the remove code doesn't have a timestamp to look up).
I suspect this is because the first callback you get is just a "subscribe success" info that is getting treated as a location, but haven't had a chance to test it.
