Overview
GPS-Logger is a small application I wrote for the Harmattan Operating system of Nokias N9 mobile phone. It takes the GPS position signal and stores it in a GPX file.The current recordings can also be shown on a map:
Download
Get it from here: [wpfilebase tag=file path=’software/harmattan/gps-logger_0.2.5_armel.deb‘ /]
External tools
For further analysis you can use any tool capable of processing GPX files, i.e. Google Earth.
Another great online tool also is www.mygpsfiles.com. You can upload the track and visualize it in the browser:
Hi, Thanks for the app.
Is there a way to set a default file name and interval (perhaps in the conf file)? I’d like to set the filename to todays date so I can just open the app and press go each day.
There is currently no way to automatically set the filename.
I am not planing to add features to this app in the near future. It is published under the GPL, so you could have a look into modifying it yourself.
Somebody started already to enhance it (https://github.com/miurahr/gpslogger/tree/for_george) so maybe he will add your request.
Hi, Thank you great app.!
I use it for OpenStreetMap mapping activity. Would you like to support OpenStreetMap as base map? It is better map for many location world wide. I’ve hacked and realized it in my local repository.
Do you also want to support waypoint?
You can get it from https://github.com/miurahr/gpslogger/tree/for_george
I haven’t worked on GPS-Logger for quite a while and first would have to look into it again.
Did you replace the Nokia Maps completely or did you add a selection option?
If you want I could add it to my app and put it into the store.
How ever at the moment I do not have much time.
I have replaced completely with OSM instead of Nokia maps because I don’t have skill about QML/QtQuick/QtMobile to implement selection.
If you or forks can suggest me how to implement it, I wanna try it.
There are other improvements than OSM one, I’d like to see it in the store.
Can I explain what I do?
1. OSM basemap
There are commits that implement OSM using cloudmade API.
https://github.com/miurahr/gpslogger/commit/09ec3475f8e968df23b63cf42be667be8459406d
https://github.com/miurahr/gpslogger/commit/a50671f44bc2404c22d89bfe8576bb1771b03fdf
2. make waypoint working
fix waypoint/points numbering bug. QML need to use . instead of to reference.
https://github.com/miurahr/gpslogger/commit/48cb52e924ab34b79c33a658bd766dd0e56b8dd6
3. refactoring to avoid global variables and global funcs.

Thanks.
I am currently not active developing apps for the N9. Its very time consuming and I have other open projects which have higher priorities for me. So I would suggest you pack it yourself and distribute it into the store.
Hi, could you port it to Nokia Belle devices (N8) ? Thanks a lot in advance
I do not have a N8 and therefore can not port it.
If you want to try it yourself, I am happy to provide the source code
Yes, please – add „Load gpx file“. I am sure such a feature is more than wanted. I am missing it a lot.
Thanks.
Thanks for your reply!
I’d like to have a 30 seconds interval, nothing too fancy 🙂
Oh, and a more flexible recording interval maybe 🙂
What do you think ?
What would you like to have as interval?
Please let me know.
Hey, thanks for this really useful app!!
Do you plan to integrate a pause button ? Would be very handy sometimes IMHO …..
Cheers
Thank you for your feedback!
A pause function sounds good. I will see what I can do.
Also I might add a load function for existing GPX files sometimes.
Thank you for the information. Its great to see some new software for the n).
This app isnt available anymore via OVI store 🙁
Please be patient!
Nokia is very picky and needs a loooong time to approve the app.
