| Subject: | Premature termination of data logging to the memory card | |
sunwind 4:42 | I've been trying to record my tracks on the memory card of my Blackberry 8830. The first few times it worked fine but I've had problems the last 7 or 8 attempts. I now end up with just a small number of track points recorded (less than 5 minutes of data). Any ideas on how to fix this problem? Thanks. | |
Stephen 11:52 Location: Phone Model: | Hi, Not too sure about this one - haven't had any problems on my 8900, but here are a few ideas: - Obvious question: does the memory card have plenty of free space available!? - Are any other apps running in the background that might occasionally access the memory card. (Try running TMJ on its own, after a fresh reboot) - Do you have any errors listed in the TMJ log (Menu/Settings/Debug/View Event Log) that look to be related to this (possibly any 'IOException' or 'FileConnection' errors)? - Check the memory card for file system errors: Connect the BB to your PC in Mass Storage mode. Right-click on the memory cards drive letter and select Properties -> Tools -> Error checking: Check Now... - Is TMJ otherwise recording the track okay? Which GPS Log Type have you selected? Any help? Cheers, Stephen | |
ChrisM 15:23 Location: Phone Model: | Probably a stupid question, but are you running the full version or the free version of TMJ? If its the free version, you can only record a limited number of points... are you simply running out of track-points? | |
Stephen 19:43 Location: Phone Model: | Hi Chris, Good idea, but this *shouldn't* be an issue - the GPS logging isn't limited in the free version (or at least its not supposed to be, unless there is a bug!). Certainly the Raw GPX log should still work as this simply logs every location event received from the GPS device (either internal or bluetooth). Cheers, Stephen | |
ZJGuy 16:25 | Not limited in the free version? Are you sure? ;) I thought its a maximum of 100 trackpoints you can store on you memcard ... | |
Stephen 23:48 Location: Phone Model: | I think maybe I need to clarify this (and will update the 'Upgrade Info' page later)... The *Full* track recording is limited to 100 trackpoints that will be stored, displayed, included in stats calculations, and sent to the website. ie, anything that is displayed within TMJ-Mobile itself. However, basic logging of the raw GPS data *direct* to a GPX/NMEA/CSV file on the memory card via the GPS/GPS Logging menu (eg for use in tracing for OpenStreetMap or importing into other applications) isn't limited at all (or at least isn't intended to be limited, notwithstanding any bugs!). Hope that clears up the misunderstanding! Cheers, Stephen | |
