hi,
just wondering if anyone has any xperience of using a pocket pc to identify products from diagrams and data preloaded onto a pocket pc.
i have seen this type of program running in microsoft access, jusy wondering if there is such a program that would work on a pocket pc.
basically there is a jpg diagram of the boiler, and theres an excel spreadsheet. on the diagram are arrows pointing to various parts on the diagram with key nos attached to each part.
the excel spreadsheet then has the key no and decription of that part.
if anyone can help me i would be very grateful
thanks alot

Hi,
Ok, I'm looking for an windows mobile application that can help me with making a city walk that must be viewable by regular computers and most recent mobiles.
So e.g. a camera application that add gps coordinates to the photo , a gps application with which I make/walk routes ...
Anybody has any idea's ?
Rgds,

update
After some google research I've found Sunnysoft MapView and PhotoTrackrTM for Digital Camera and robogeo .
If you are interested in updates how it works, let me know then I'll tell
you how the above works together for the city walk I'm busy with.

GPS nav with photos / guider
Hi Tremain
www.c1mobile.com.au supports GPS Guidance with camera, photos, even video and voice files based on GPS geofencing - The "Museum" guidance module was designed to help tour groups around a city with the full tour-guide experience - It's a full voice-guided nav, despatch and vehicle tracking tool used primarily by tech-service fleets (Eg Telstra) .. Only catch is that it's designed for Microsoft Windows UMPCs and tablets (ie Windows XP) not Windows Mobile currently.
The big issue with Windows Mobile has always been the limited multi-tasking capabilities of WM5/6.. Trying to play a movie and navigate, plus send tracking info back to the C1 Mobile server.. And handle updates to the handheld has simply meant that small UMPC's like the Everun
http://store.pressdigital.com.au/mobile-umpc-c-979.html
.. have become the most popular tools for in-field GPS work with multimedia guidance.
Food for thought!

Hi,
What is the most convenient application to open a .sdf database file on the Pocket PC ?
I have tested Microsoft Query Analyzer, but it is really not convenient to access the database for reading its data. Microsoft Query Analyzer is for development purpose, I guess. What application is able to display a .sdf database to use it for reference ?
Thanks for your advice, Chris
Write your own using .NET CF. It's not that hard.
Do you know a good tutorial giving an example of viewing a .sdf on a PocketPC ?
Chris
Hi guys !
I have found an application able to display the content of a .sdf file, it is: Pocket DB.
Unfortunately although the application features are great, the application interface is horrible.
Hello,
I am new to the forum and also the owner of an HTC Fuze. I have been playing around recently with the GPS on the phone and got me thinking. I live in NY and we have a CORS network of gps base stations that are fed by the use of ntrip.
I was wondering if their was any way to use the gps signal on my phone and the connection to this CORS network to give me sub inch accuracy on my phone...then not sure what I would do with it then. But I do live on a farm and I would like to see some type of precision agricultural use.
I guess I need a way to have the GPS on the phone talk with the GNSS internet radio and then give me spot on guidance and such.
Please let me know your thoughts or if I need to explain better.
Thanks,
Clayton
bump
bump. Any ideas? Anyone
Great idea cwrisrey !
That will save the cost of a geodetic device, which is many times the cost of a Fuze. Further, it will lead the accuracy of the buildin GPS into millimum class.
Not dig into this further, would you go further to tell these:
Is that CORS data encrypted?
Is that accessible through public internet or VPN?
Is there copy right or intellectuall property right issue involved? (I don't think so, but better make it clear first)
Once again, great idea. Please do remember to update this thread once you got any progress. Thanks.

Hello wg5566,
This site would probably answer alot of your questions clearer than I could:
http://www6.nysdot.gov/spiderweb/frmIndex.aspx
* Is that CORS data encrypted?
-I don't believe so, I think that it is just a form of compression, to distribute across the internet.
* Is that accessible through public internet or VPN?
Yes, the NYS CORS anyway. It accessible from the public internet (although they require you to register with them) But I believe there are other free streams. I also believe it was modeled after being able to be sent threw GPRS.
* Is there copy right or intellectuall property right issue involved? (I don't think so, but better make it clear first)
-I believe the ntrip is based on a GNU, I think the source code is available. http://igs.bkg.bund.de/index_ntrip_down.htm
Windows CE version:
http://www.ilmb.gov.bc.ca/crgb/gsr/downloads/installGNSS.CAB
Please, let me know your thoughts...
Thanks,
Clayton
My fast thoughts:
First make sure there is no satisfied freeware currently available for WM.
If so please ask a moderator to move this to the development & hackings section. And Add tyis sentence on the title: Call for developers for revolutionary GPS app!
I'm sure somebody here can develop this. You know the geodetic device was invented many years ago with very weak profiles comparing to current WM devices. The hardware on our phone should be capable to deal with these calculations, and the WM Pro platform should be capable to support such an app. Anyway it should not be a biggy for many masters here. But it is a biggy for gps users with high accuracy demand for any reason.
Edit: Did you try install that wince cab on your phone? I think some of WINCE apps can just run on WM. Please backup your data first.
Edit2: I tried to install it on my device, at first it did not show up in start menu, then I found the cab just put files and shortcut in the folder names in French. But there is no registry involved in the cab. Only three files. And then program UI itself is in English. Just run the executable from the folder will go right out of the box. So please try it. I did not try to connect & loggin yet, due to not registered account.
Edit3: Looks like the cab is only access the data from internet, convert the data format and export the data, but we still need a geodetic/gps software to process/use the data.
Disclaimer: I attatched these three files for the only purppose of exchanging software developement infomation. Anybody if download it please do not use it for any purppose other than this. Thanx.
Some thoughts on the subject
Hi All,
The idea of using NTRIP to make a Windows Mobile GPS device sub-meter accurate crossed my mind. After some research I found this thread.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any software capable of doing this. My idea is that it should be possible to accomplish this goal, using a combination of existing tools (which would be really cool!).
As wg5566 notes, there is a (WM) tool called GNSS Internet Radio, which is capable of downloading NTRIP corrections. It turns out this software works, but does have some flaws. Someone wrote another open source tool which is better (?), but unfortunately it isn't built for Windows Mobile (see: http://lefebure.com/software/).
More searching revealed a (dead?) project on codeplex: SharpGPS. It's an unfinished demo. It does however seem to be designed to do exactly what we're suggesting in this thread.
My idea: Completing the WM version of SharpGPS with parts of GNSS Internet radio / lefebure NTRIP client should result in a tool that's capable of upgrading a WM devices' gps signal to sub-meter accuracy through RTK/DGPS corrections over NTRIP.
Any ideas / suggestions about this?
It's already been done for the commercial market
Land surveyors, construction companies, and farmers use RTK GPS and RTK GNSS correction services on a regular basis. Some are free and some are paid subscription. They can be either NTRIP protocol with casters or individual TCP or UDP connections. Examples of software available are Carlson SurvCE and MicroSurvey. Read Carlson's support site for how they deal with the data flow using such networks on SurvCE (Windows Mobile and CE).
I have worked in land surveying using such equipment, and it generally requires dual frequency receivers, RTK corrections, and high quality antennas to achieve 1-2cm 95% CI horizontal precision. The current GPS chips in cell phones are only single frequency and so the best you could expect under ideal conditions is 2'-3' precision using some form of differential correction like WAAS or beacon or DGPS via NTRIP. Under average conditions, the precision will likely be in the 10-20' range. The dual frequency receivers take care of the large errors caused by radio waves traveling through the ionosphere.
Due to the limitations of batteries, antennas, and space for more chips in cellphones, the future of location accuracy will likely include some combination of GPS/GLONASS and cellular radio signal frequency timing calculations from cell towers. True Position, with its U-TDOA technology, is one example of measuring the time differences of cell phone radio waves using cell towers with known coordinates. Rumors (from surveying journals) have it that there are current patents in place that can allow for sub foot precision using such methods when sufficient cell towers are present for multilateration.
Has anyone found success on this topic? WM or Android...
Would be very interested, since there is a free NTRIP feed available in Switzerland... anyone?
*bump* it up
Been there still trying. Problem is no carrier phase off internal gps.

Lance lefebure is a really cool guy I'm sure he wouldn't have any problem building a wm version but it is going to takea lot more than that to get rtk to a cell phone.
Very good ,thanks.

If you are confused just ask questions and I will do my best to answer them. I am in the ag industry and deal with RTK networks and different ways of connecting them and tons of different gps units on a daily basis.
Look at this:

Is that still a phone !?

Nope PDA with support for external GPS with a builtin reciever that even sees glonass satellites (russian constelation). That was made specifically to do RTK mapping. It does have a GSM radio for data to connect to the cors.
Phone positioning using CORS
To perform a CORS (Network Reference correction we need a GGA stream from the GPS in your device. This allows us to remove the anomalies and provde the correction stream. As phones use a sirf II chip or similar they do not have input capability to output the NMEA stream to achieve this.
This one works great! it will connect to an Rtk receiver and get the nmea string from it or will use the internal GPS to be able to register on the CORS network. It will then stream the corrections over Bluetooth to a receiver or even a repeater radio. It won't however correct the internal GPS. http://antrip.dyndns.biz/Home/DownloadTrial
Hey everyone,
I have IBM Lotus Traveler on my phone for work email, and it forces a password-protect lock screen. If it ran through basic Exchange Services email, I would have lots of possible options to disable/bypass the lock screen requirement.
Unfortunately, it is a stand-alone app with Device Administrator control. I have freakin' scoured the internet trying for a work-around, and have still not been able to find anything.
Below is a link to several deeper methods that I thought "may" work. While it's on a Miui site, I don't think you need to be running a Miui rom to make these commands work, but I don't know. And while I know Android fairly well, I'm not an expert and not that up-to-speed with ADB functions and programming. If someone could check out this link and see if there is potential there...or if it would be a waste of my time, any input would be appreciated.
http://en.miui.com/thread-5684-1-1.html
Also, if anyone has any other input or direction on disabling device admin permissions, or maybe fooling the administrator on the app, anything that may work, that would be great to know as well.
Any help would be hugely appreciated- thanks!
bump for input...
2nd bump for some interest?
Zero input or perspective?
