how do i view your .PLT files on the PC ?
Hai its me again..:-) wanted to ask you a few questions.. (1) the SmartComGPS route files that i save on the mobile all seem to be of one size (373 bytes). (2) How can i plot these routs on OZ explorer..? (3) i was also not able to view your .plt files on Oz explorer. (4)In SmartComGPS, i am not able to load a particular route that i have saved in the mobile. when I choose the saved .rte file, nothing happens.. no error either.. i cannot see the waypoints on the screen. Any comments ?
(1) and (2) did you mean rte files or plt files? theoretically, both these should work on oziexplorer. did you chek whether the format of the files are correct? did it show any error? you can send me the files to michael321in (at) yahoo dot com and i can check it for you.
(3) i will check that and let you know. may be there is a problem when downloading the files.
(4)When i use select- > routes -> load routes an select the rte file, it does show the route with a blue mark on the screen. you need to navigate manually to where the route is. the software doe not autonavigate to the point of interest in the route.
An simple way for a non-techie to get your position/track/route (live too) on to the google maps..
1. get and install TrackMyJourney v0.6.0 your smart phone (S60, v3)
http://w13.easy-share.com/1700906954.html
2. sign up at this page ; http://www.trackmyjourney.co.uk/index.php?page=register&;
2. input the name & password in the phone (which u will receive in ur email after registration).
3. install and use the program on the phone (both internal and BT GPS will work)to record your tracks/routes
4. export the track file as PLT /GPX /LOC format.
5. log on to the website and upload the GPX/PLT/LOC file to the website.
6. browse to the folder and the uploaded file.
7. click on "map" and bingo.. ur track is uploaded to Google maps..
8. for live update, u need to enable GPRS and set frequency of update. (Yet to check this out).
9. You can send invites to friends who can see at your current position (in real-time) on google maps.
10. good thing is its free as of now, tho there are indications that good things wont last for long :-)
