Is the demo-file similar to the NMEA log files created when recording a trip (for example). Is the file naming convention consistent with the regular recorded NMEA logs.

Thx

You can just name any NMEA log file with the name of one of the demo vehicles followed by ".nme" and GooPs will play that file instead of the demo (e.g. "Cin.nme").

Make sure to place the files in the same directory that you are running GooPs from.

Was somehow red from 100-210kph.

That is correct, 100kph is the upper limit of the speedtrack range. That's probably not adequate for applications like automobile racing or aircraft.

What are you using it for?

2.1 – 7/29/07 Mologogo/GpsGate Tracking, Bug Fixes

Now you can track yourself and your friends via the GpsGate.com and Mologogo.com servers

GpsGate.com and Mologogo.com integration explodes the number of tracking options available to GooPs users. Now you can track yourself and your friends in Google Earth with a wide variety of devices including cell phones, PDAs and Smart Phones.

The GpsGate.com and Mologogo.com servers provide well supported and stable platforms that you can access from home or on the road.

With GpsGate.com your location can be uploaded to the server and you can track yourself or any other GpsGate.com user.

Mologogo.com supports tracking only. You cannot upload your own position. (Mologogo.com support is currently a beta feature.)
See the GooPs "Options->External Servers" dialog for instructions on how to use this feature.

Improved TimeStamp and SpeedTrack segment detection to help reduce track errors

Improved bad point rejection to minimize invalid track points.

Improved FTP Client robustness.

GooPs can now run from the system tray.

GooPs can now display speed in knots.

Hey DeputyDave,

You can rename "Me" by going to the GooPs Options dialog, in the Add/Update Vehicle are select "Me" from the "Id" dropdown list. Click in the "Name:" text box and type your new name. That's it.

For tracking yourself with an EVDO connection your best bet is to use the new gpsgate.com location server integration - it's free. Instructions below:

Using GooPs with GpsGate.com

The GooPs/GpsGate.com integration allows you to:

• Track your GpsGate.com Buddies
• Let others track you using GooPs or GpsGate.com

(Purchase of Franson GpsGate is not required)


To track your GpsGate.com "Buddies" in GooPs you need to have an account on the GpsGate.com location server. The GpsGate.com location server will allow you to configure and manage your buddy lists. Click here to set-up your free BuddyTracker account.



Once you have a GpsGate.com account and you have set-up your Buddies, there are two steps required to configure GooPs to track your Buddies:

Set up your GpsGate.com account information:

• In the GooPs Options dialog press the "External Server Setup..." button.
• In the External Server Setup dialog:
  • Enter your GpsGate.com User Name and Password
  • Enter the desired update rate in seconds
  • Check the "Enable" box
  • Check the "Send My Position" box if you want location updates sent to GpsGate.com - this will allow your Buddies to track you.

Add your GpsGate.com "Buddies" as GooPs vehicles:

• In the GooPs Options Dialog "Add/Update Vehicle" area:
• Press the "New" Button
• Enter the user name of the "Buddy" you want to track in the "Name" field
• Enter the string "gpsgate.com" in the "Host" field.
• Press the "Add" button
• The GpsGate.com Buddy will now appear as a GooPs vehicle in Google Earth.
