Hi everybody

I just started to use Live tracking feature and it is working great
I used this how to:
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php/manual ... oogle_docs

As it is written in how to, I used gadget map in google spreadsheet to see all my past and present position - it is working nice.
The question I have is: what are the other options to see the live data from locus tracking service on mobile device.
Google map gadget in google spreadsheet it is rather a desktop solution.

When we are on the trip my friend leave half an hour before me and then I need to chase him. He is using live tracking service in locus and I want to be able to see his present position on my smartphone. The best if I can use locus to see his present position and use GUIDE TO feature.
Is it possible ? If not what other options do I have to see his present position on my smartphone ?

thanks in advance for help

A test function inside  the test service website (called "pull POI") is already prepared.

gynta: some feedback

I just tested PullPOI feature and it is working great ! That is what I was looking for !
Is there any chance that user can change manually update frequency ?

How do I set up an icon for this pullPOI item. on the movie it is avatar not a POI icon

Last thing - If I can suggest small improvment for position presentation on the website locus.oldboys.at
Previous and present positions are dark blue dots. If I am running 5 laps of 5km my wife do not really know where exactly I am since it is overlaying. Maybe the present (or last known) position should have a bit different icon ?

thank you for feedback

1. Yes, edit the *.kml file in ..Locus/mapitems/..

Code: [Select]

<refreshInterval>20</refreshInterval> 2. if the taffic on my private server is too high - i have to quit this service  

How do I set up an icon for this pullPOI item. on the movie it is avatar not a POI icon

You should know - this is a TEST service. but If you really want, send me a POI and i will put it on the server.

improvment for position presentation on the website

is in progress (for months)  
Tip: Your wife should use the "guest login"

btw.
On your first trip, you send data from gulf of mexico - is this correct and not a bug on my side, or you are using fakegps?

[FunGous]

Thanks for reply
Everything is clear now.

Do not worry about refresh interval :-)
I was rather asking about possibility than actually want to change anything, same with the icon. It's good enough as it is now.

Positions are real. I'm here working on the offshore vessel for oil and gas industry.
Cheers

addendum

If I am running 5 laps of 5km my wife do not really know where exactly I am since it is overlaying. Maybe the present (or last known) position should have a bit different icon ?

With the "guest login" you will see your last pos much bette:

[FunGous]

Perfect,  that's what I need.
Gynta: you have fulfilled all my needs :-) .... at this time

Good job, and keep up good work

Whats new?
# simplified settings in Locus Live tracking function
-no more annoying timeformat settings
-no "address"
-no "type"
(but still valid if you actually use it)
   
Optional you can add two of all aviable KEYs
eg Altitude, Speed, Accuracy or Bearing
-> see help site to setup Locus

# The guest login site show you now the last position and a 300point trackline (former 100 points).

If you see any bugs - feel free to post here
