Thread: GPSTracker on home server

I added some extra debug to see when it resends the data as I'm wondering if its just a timing issue.

Can you send me your debug log and your settings for retry period and tracking period.

the installer only creates an uninstall link. I'll fix it so that it creates startup links as well.

I've put the latest version in the car and it embeds into FreeICE very nicely!

It was tracking to the home server when I was on the driveway and in
range of the wireless.

Does it cache tracking data when it looses connection? I took it for a
spin around the block. So it lost connection for 10 minutes. I was hoping
it would send the tracking data when it came back into range of my wireless
but it didn't seem to

It tracks as many users as you want. The server displays one at a time and geofencing only currently works for the display car but it tracks all.

Edit: Sorry just noticed you asked if the car pc could see everyone connected to the server. Thats not possible I'm afraid.

Hi Cerberus long time no see

It continues to track and stores the data on the car pc in an xml file. When you return to a network it will resend ALL data not marked as true to the server. The last updated text will then show the new time. Now the check for the network is an event so as soon as windows detects a new network connection it should fire off an update to the server. If the server doesn't respond BUT the network is still available it uses the retry period setting for the time to elapse before trying again.

So in short it should have recorded your 10 minute trip and resent it to your server as soon as you got within range of your network AND windos detected it. Check debug log to see what happened and what failed

Thought so... I'll go out to the car and check in a bit

Odd.. The xml on the car pc has no data for the period of the test drive.

I wonder if my GPS lost it's lock when I moved or something.. Will test again
