MyMotion v1.0

Description:
GPS route recording and playback with customizable spoken feedback of speed, distance and time. Uses a moving map to show progress as well as textual output. Maps can be generated from Google Earth installed on a PC using a map creation tool

Allows user to record a route then load it up as a reference for live comparison the next time it is traversed. Optional location tracking of GPS devices with GPRS or 3G, via the web and Google Earth or Google Maps.

Why FREE?
Because I wrote it for fun and I don’t want the hassle of supporting a commercial product. However, if you are interested in me ever fixing any bugs or improving it a donation will help to motivate me use my spare time to do this.

How do I show a track on a PC?
Save the file as Google Earth (this is not the default). You can read in a previously saved route (.trk/.trz) then save it as Google Earth (.kmz). Transfer the .kmz file to a PC and open it with Google Earth.

What is the map file format?
It is .tga format (supported by many graphics packages), compressed into a zip along with a text file containing its co-ordinates. If you rename a .tgz file to .zip you can open it up and see what is inside. I provided an application that takes care of using the right file format and automatically gets the cords out of Google Earth, but you could make a file by hand if you wanted. NOTE: the maps are handled as OpenGL textures, so they need to be sized properly (each dimension must be a square, ie 512x1024, 256x512 etc), again the mapmaker application I wrote takes care of this.

Why won’t the map file load?
Maybe you don’t have enough memory. Try a smaller sized map to verify this – 256x256 or 512x512. The map files can chew up a lot of memory. I don’t have very good error trapping at the moment. Maybe if I ever get around to an update I will improve this (see Why FREE?). The file could also have been corrupted when transferred. Try pulling it back to a PC, extracting the .tga (see What is the map file format?)

What platforms are supported?
The software is targeted at Windows Mobile 2003 (as the lowest common denominator), but is tested and used on WM5 and WM6. You will get a compatibility warning when you install on WM5 or WM6, but it if you say OK and continue it will install just fine.

Requirements:
- Pocket PC Windows Mobile 2003
- Pocket PC Windows Mobile 5.0
- Pocket PC Windows Mobile 6.0
