Hi support ^^
I setup OruxMaps to connect with MapMyTracks for real time live tracking (username password & public activities), when I record a trace I can't anything on my mapmytracks account ?
Is there any thing I am missing ?

Hi;
you have to enable live tracking under 'tracks' button after starting recording a track,
orux
Just one additional question to the topic:
I notice that I do not lose any data when livetracking
on mapmytracks, even when there is a short interruption
to the internet while biking.
That happens when I cross boarder and have roaming
switched off sometimes fot hours.
How long will Oruxmaps store the gps data and later
send it to mapmytracks when there is an internet connection
again?
Uli
Ho Orux,
You advice was OK it work like a charm.
Thank you.
Uli > Make a test, cut you sim & wifi, record a track & enable wifi after 1/2 1h 2h ...
bye

Hi;
Wait as long as necessary, but sends only 50 points, so it is eliminating intermediate points if there are many.
For example, if you have accumulated 200 points without sending, OM will send the points at positions 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, ...
orux
Ok, thank you very much for explaining.
So it means when I increase gps interval time,
I could stay offline for a longer time without losing
data.
Thank you again.
Uli
Sorry, I cant find where I can shorten the time when data is send to
mapmytracks for livetracking.
I was told that MapMyTracks stops livetracking when there was no
incoming data for 60s. That means the track on the browser screen freezes and the
has to be started new.
Is there a solution or is it that I just cant find the parameter?

Hi, Uli;
Could you confirm, with any of your tracks, that mapmytracks stops live tracking after 60 seconds? Current version sends the data each 120s, so all the tracks should be broken.
Anyway I am going to reduce that value to 20s. Please note that sending a pack of 50 coordinates each time, in two minutes could be sent almost a coordinate every 2-3 seconds, which is an acceptable value for any type of activity.
orux
ok, Jose,
Nick from MapMyTracks told me that MMT needs gps data in less then 60s. Otherwise livetracking would stop. I see on my browser that other users (using mmt?) hitch every few seconds a bit further. My friends (using OM) linger on one spot for a long time and then the liveblinking stops. That doesnt mean that new gps data isnt stored there. The tracks are always compleat.
It would be great to give it a try with 20s.

Thanks, Uli;
Next beta will use 20 seconds,
orux
Thanks in advance.
Although it would be more sensible when MMT would prolong
the timeout.
But I dont think they will do that because they want their app
to be used.
I think, some time ago there was an OM version, where one could
choose the data send time to MMT?
To me 20s seems to be a bit fast because data cosumption might
suffer a bit.
But anyway, me and my friends would be happy to try 20s.

Hi, Uli;
Yes, there was a version where you could select a time interval, but it could cause problems of overhead to the servers.
Do not worry about data consumption, we are talking about very small data packets, and if the time interval is short, then also the data packets will be smaller.
orux
I suppose you didn't get around to a version with
increased frequency of data update to mapmtracks
for livetracking?
Or did I overlook something?

Hi, Uli;
changed in last beta10 to 20 seconds.
orux
Thanks a lot.
I`ll give it a try tomorrow morning and let you know.
Uli
Thank you for the new Beta10 version.
Livetracking on MMT works fine now.
In general I prefer Multitracking of Oruxmaps because
I can see the positions of all my friends at the same time.
But MMT adds some sport data of a single friend which are
sometimes of interest.
Thanks a lot.
Uli
For some time now liveupload of the heart rate to mapmytracks
doesn't work properly for me. The same problem with cadence.
When I upload the complete track everything is fine.
Maybe there was a change by mapmytracks?
Or is it only my problem?
I hope Jose will come back and reply.

Hi, Uli;
I will check, but there are no changes in the app after it was added,
orux
Thanks Jose,
with version Orc5 I get the same result:
Live upload is faulty and normal upload is ok.
I have sent you 2 different gpx files.
Maybe you find out what might cause the problem?
Uli
Again I've problems uploading livetracks and tracks after
the tour.
At present time I can only upload the tracks with the mapmytracks
program.
Livetracking does work with the mobile mapmytracks app but
not with oruxmaps.
Again the question: is it only my problem?

No no eres el único al que últimamente no le funciona el track en vivo en la pagina mapmytrack, a mi tambien me ha dejado de funcionar, es como si no la información no se dirigiera a la pagina, ¿Alguien sabe si es que hay que cambiar la url? yo actualmente la tengo en la predeterminada en la aplicacion osea http://www.mapmytracks.com/api/
Aha...
thank you. With the help of google I got the translation.
Sorry, I cant answer in Sanish.
So I am not the only one with that problem.
It is a question wether mapmytracks wants to get rid of the API
users and wants to force them to use the mapmytracks app?
Uli
Who could translate that for me?
Quote from: "Uli"
Con el traductor de google nos podemos entender perfectamente.
Tienes razón ellos están promocionando su propia app que es un desastre comparada con la maravilla de orux
A lo mejor lo que comento puede sonar a un absurdo, pero yo no lo creo, soy de la opinión que esta app tiene una características inmejorables, que hacen difícil poder seguir avanzando sobre ella le lanzo a orux una pregunta ¿No cree que es momento de que tenga su propia pagina? y no me refiero a un simple foro sino a todo lo demás. Os imagináis que tuviera servicios propios como track en vivo y compartir rutas, y todo ese campo. Otras aplicaciones que no le llegan a la suela del zapato han comenzado por ahí véase por que con esa comencé yo sportypal y ni se le arrima.
De verdad creo que es un tema a reflexionar. Yo no creo que esta maravilla deba ser dependiente de terceros.
This time the translation sounded a bit strange in German.
Anyway - the problem is solved.
After I posted an email to Nick of Mapmytracks it suddenly
worked again.
Livetracking to mapmytracks is ok again for me.
