SendMyLocation


Sends SMS at intervals that includes your current GPS coordinate and location name/address/etc

Installation:
1. Extract the ZIP file
2. On your device, install SendMyLocationScheduler.cab (Device Memory) and SendMyLocation.cab (Storage Card)

How to use:
1. Launch SendMyLocationScheduler
2. Click on menu, choose the interval time
3. Choose the contact you want to send the sms to by clicking on Menu/Send To
4. Press Start then Exit
5. Done!
6. To stop the sms sending, relaunch SendMyLocationScheduler then go to menu/Stop

If you don't have an XML file created, the sms sent will only show your current Lat/Lon data

Thank you to DavidTiger for his WMLocationInfo.dll file and Hara's GPS dll file

TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CREATE XML FILES:

XML = this file contains the fenced area of a specific street/block/county/city/etc

This requires Google Earth

2. Navigate to the location you want to create a fenced area
3. Let's try Santa Clarita, Los Angeles, USA
4. Click on ADD A POLYGON icon

5. A Google Earth - New Polygon window will popup, type in the name of the location

6. Click on the style, color tab.
7. Choose a color of the Line you want to use.
8. In the Area part, choose OUTLINED, then click OK

9. A new polygon will be created in your My Places file

10. Right Click, then Save Place As. choose Save As KML file, then SAVE the KML file

11. Use DecDeg2DecMin.exe, click on CONVERT TO POINTS

12. Choose the KML file you just created from Google Earth and it wil automatiacally convert it to an XML file
13. Copy the XML file to your device's \Storage Card\SendMyLocation\XML folder
14. Done!

Update:
2/24/2011
- uploaded DecDeg2DecMin_Feb242011.zip. the xml files will now be saved in your Desktop PC's C:\xml folder

2/12/2011

when sending email, make sure your email is already setup and this uses email account 1 in your device

Hi sir charlie. after clicking convert to points, where would the converted file go? the kml file say, saved on my desktop would disappear and searching on my directory, cant seem to find the file, also the converted xml file. (i guess they would have the same filename)

Hi Sir charlie. Sorry, off topic lang, wala kc pwde post ng thread. Just recently found some files on the old drive of my pc with file extensions .crf. I believe these files were encrypted files by me way back 2005 (I own a SPV E200 - Voyager that time). My question is, what smartphone program that has this extension when encrypted? Any list of apps to password-protect/encrypt files during that era? Had tried Resco Explorer (even the oldest builds) but extension of these files were .rxf. I still can recall the password i had set on these .crf file but i can't recall what program i had used before on my Voyager. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Great app!!

I noticed a pair of issues:

-Sometimes the app is not actioning. For example: the first time I installed the app (mail setting, 1 minute for testing purposes), only three times arrived the email with the coordinates. Soft reset and nothing, but open the app again, stopped the sender, restarted the sender, and It work fine, but not sure If this will happen another time.

-When my device is in sleep mode, at sending the email the screen turns on for few moments (in blank)






Requests:


Can you add a pair of thing for n0obs/lazy users like me? (they do not want to deal with xml files)


-The format of the coordinates in the email mesagge

Current:

2/22/11 2:54:23 AM @ No Data
LAT: 16.xxxxxxx, LON: -99.xxxxxxxx


Desired:
2/22/11 2:54:23 AM @ No Data
LAT/LON
16.xxxxxxx, -99.xxxxxxxx

This only for direct copy/paste this coordinates in
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl




-Or even better: Can you add a clickeable link in the email, that positionates the location directly in Google Maps, via the default browser?
(I just tested it manually in Opera Mobile, and it works, but first need to access to "classic" site of Google Maps [not mobile])


Yes, there are a most advanced ways to use this useful app, but I think that in this way (positioning by means google maps, in the default browser PPC/PC) must be useful for noobs users like me


Best Regards, sorry for my bad english!
