Locate Me - Zooper Skin showing exact location on map.
This Zooper skin I made shows the exact location on a map. I have been looking for a way to do this using zooper. Recently Kevin Moyer found a way to do it by showing the exact location with cross hairs:
He has put his instructions in the comments:
Latitude is a progress bar extended the full width/height of the Zooper widget, rotated 90° with Min & Max set to -90 & 90 respectively, with the Value input set to #LLAT#.
Longitude is a progress bar extended the full width/height of the Zooper widget, with Min & Max set to -180 & 180 respectively, with the Value input set to #LLONG#.
With each progress bar:
- Make the FG color clear
- Make the BG color clear
- Set the Space value to 3 or 4
- Set the Split value to 1 or 2
- Set the Fill Mode to Highlight Current
- Choose a Fill Color of your preference
Based on his instructions, I used a static place marker and the position of the underlying map changes based on the exact location.
zooper skins with location
Black Bear Blanc used his idea in his Zooper Skins too:
Google La Muerta
And this one by BlackBearBlanc:
Neoned
If anyone is interested in taking this further, I will gladly share my ZW template!
I am thinking of making one with a map of Europe and one with a world map. My ultimate goal is to have them all in one zooper skin: when I am within the Netherlands showing the NL map, when I am outside the Netherlands but within Europe showing the European map instead and have the world map showed when outside Europe. I am not yet sure if this is possible at all, but it would be really great.
It might be possible using advanced parameters, but I am not sure quite how. If someone has an idea, feel free to help me

I'm assuming this would only work with an equirectangular map projection, otherwise the location would be off by some way in some places. Particularly the edges.

Finally, I didn't know what the needed type of map was called, but equiretangular seems the right one! The usual Mercator map doesn't work especially the further north or south you go. With smaller maps, like the country map of the Netherlands which I used the distortion isn't that big. Especially with the world map you would need an equirectangular map projection.
That is also why the first map that Kevin Moyer used (second picture in the first post) used didn't really work. His location on the map shows somewhere on the US south coast, which is quite close to the equator. For him it would be fairly accurate, further up north it would be way off.
I hope to come up with a world map quite soon (not much time though since I will be at a conference this week)!

The ZW template can be downloaded through My Colorscreen: look for "Locate Me"
There is a download link to the skin, the ZW template with the map is called NL dock.zw (I am not yet allowed to post links here)
I had a little play with a equirectangular map yesterday and it works really well, but I used a different method. You don't need to use 2 progress bars, I find it much easier just to use a rectangle with these advanced parameters.
[ox]$((#LLONG#/180)*{length from centre to edge of bitmap})$[/ox]
[oy]$((#LLAT#/90)*{length from centre to top of bitmap}*-1)$[/oy]
So all you need to do is measure what offset gets the rectangle from the centre to the edge and top of the bitmap and put that in the code.
You also have to make sure the bitmap is centred properly. Worked perfectly when I tested the codes for Brisbane, Australia, LA, and Buenos Aires.

Hi, I would like to use this method but having a little bit of trouble.
When you say the length from centre to edge of bitmap, what are you entering in there? The pixel measurement of the image?
For example if my map is 1080 pixels wide, would I enter 540?
Edit: I am an idiot and need to read closer. I understand what you are saying now about measuring the offset. My crosshairs still seem to be off. Not sure what the problem is, maybe i need to find a different map.

What is the map you are using? You could share it so that we can check.
Equirectangular maps
Here's a bunch of centred equirectangular maps I editted.
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bopz7zn0kude23k/calgDZ70l8
I'm going to try to figure out how to put the svg into a font so that we can get a decent vector in zooper. don't know how at the moment.
Hi guys. I'm Kevin, who made the widget in the first post. Just wanted to say I was sorry that I didn't originally post the an Equirectangular projection was needed. I'm a merchant mariner and took for granted not everyone knew that would be required to keep the latitude spacing even. Oops. Mine was accurate actually, it looks offshore because I was when I came up with it and shared.
But I think the second solution described is much better than mine. I kept trying to find a way to get a bitmap to track to my location instead of a cross-hair over the whole thing. Very nice job in developing that!

MAIN
instant Gforce measure for:
Acceleration/brake (brake is negative)
left/right (left is negative)
Up/Down(up is negative)
Total (always positive)
Speed
GPS
Gps Stats
On/Off
0-...
Test your time from 0 to whatever you chose
(it uses gforce to start the timer)
MAX
Max Values (i know it needs work)
LOG
Chose what you want to log
Log Size
OPTIONS
Set update speed 50 - 1000ms
Use Km over miles per hour
Use Speed in Acc/Brake over Gforce in Main
http://rjsmsampaio.googlepages.com/grafico.jpg
You can get the gflog.txt in you main memory and open in excel
To clean the log just delete it.
X is left/right
y is acc/brake
z is up/down
t is total
Speed
Altitude
Heading
(all this are obvious)
the GFmax is store in gfmax.txt created in main memory.
How to use it correctly:
the pda must be in portrait whit the screen facing the back of the car. When you open the program it will self calibrate(this don't mean you don't need to have your acc calibrated whit other program).
It should read 0.00 whit the car stop in a level area. You can Turn or incline the PDA a little and calibrate again but it will affect the reading if too much off center.
This is the Beta version so post some feedback, im a full time teacher so updates will be constant but not every day

Great App my friend. I have tested on aircraft just when taking off and landing and it is great ! didnt use the GPS
Nice one, thanks.
Will have a try.
I've been waiting for this program since Ikari has promised to write... Thanks Ikari... will feedback...
How do you calculate "total"? Judging from the top picture Id say you use
acc + curve = total
which is wrong. Use
total = sqrt(acc^2 + curve^2) instead
Otherwise it looks very nice!
You did get your help! Wonderfull, will download it and have a drive in my car, nice !
Help needed ?
Good job ! I did send you a mail through the forum mail system to offer some help to enhance it. Did you read this ?

Perhaps it should be usefull to offer a option to register some infos such as max acceleration.
Thank you for this app.

As for the rest drive carefully
Why don't you integrate the output signal with respect to time and write also the velocity of device? By this way we can also see the current velocity or also write further 0-100km acceleration values....

But you cant just add perpendicular forces since a force is a vector. Break/acc acts straight forward (backwards is "-forward") while curve acts straight right (again, left is "-right"). Draw 2 arrows on a paper, one for acc and one for curve. Then draw the resulting vector. To find the length (in this case the magnitude, or what you call total) use the Pythagorean theorem
total = sqrt(acc^2 + curve^2)

That's the idea. Adding them is just incorrect. Cause velocity is a vector, it can be expressed as its moduli times a unitary vector. Taking the derivative with respect to time we will find two sources of acceleration: the one caused by change in time of the modulus (acc) and the one due to the change in direction of the unitary vector (curve). As the derivative of a vector is indeed a vector, you should calculate its modulus. Therefore the total should be what haggz said.
Your app works pretty nice despite that. I have liked it a lot. A way to fix this issue is to display both accelerations separately and then if you like to add them just like numbers at least we will be a little bit more pleased . Anyway congratulations for your great work. Keep it like that !!!
Great for science projects. Great work
I don't know how fast you can read out the sensors. But a great application would be a Time/Acceleration Diagram.
Currently we are measuring oscillations of huge masses.
Would be cool if i could monitor oscillations up to 150Hz.
Great Work!!!
....a quick Example with some text windows:
Looks very nice, but I think a GUI with high contrasts would be better to read while driving.
Unjar to my computer, transfered to my internal storage, attempted to run the program, but it didnt work. It said I needed a newer version of net or something any ideas?

Atm is 4hz but i can test the limit, also depends from the sensor itself.

download and install .NET Compact Framework 3.5 on your pda and it will work.
One more day and i will release a new version whit DB for the maximum values.
About a graphical interface im not sure how to make one cuz we have 3 axis to display plus the Total so im putting that to the side.
If any one have more ideas for this, new options, features or feedback, plz post.

I read somewhere, but can't remember where, that default the accelerator readings are performed every 200 milliseconds, which would mean that you have a max of 5 Hz. It is possible to change the value in the registry by using a program that "tweaks" it, but I don't know what it would mean for the battery life.
Maybe your program could set the readings faster while it is running, but I don't have a clue how you would have to do it.
Never the less, 150 Hz might be a bit too fast for WM6.1, even with a fast processor ?

Great news! I'm using igo8 as i think its the best navi for UK. The only small issue was VGA resolution. Maps and letters where ok as the are adaptable to screen res but apps skin itself ... Hope its gonna be downloadable soon.

I really love Igo 08.
- I only have one small question. - I live in Denmark, so almost no 3d buildings. So just to show of, I created a demo route in Berlin/London/Paris, so I could show them this new cool feature (3d building). But 3d buildings dosn't show in demo routes... Do any of you know why? (Or how to make these buildings show?)
Got this version already. Any changelog? as i can't see any major differences. Anyone seen real VGA skin ?
Just tried this out today and say I believe I like it better then tomtom. I especially like the next two turns displayed all the time on the screen. I also like that it displays house/building numbers on the map as well.
Me likes.
No US Maps I see
Do they plan to release US maps, or is this an overseas app only?
In the US, it is called OnCourseNavigator

any gps with 3d maps and buildings for Los Angeles?? iGo stil doesnt have buildings for LA...at least not that i know of...

Hello again!
It's time for a new tool: G-Watch!
G-Watch is a stop watch and a countdown timer with all features you'll expect of a stopwatch.
As an additional feature I provide GPS support. You can (you don't have to!!) use your GPS device to monitor your training session.
You can export your sessions to CVS (e.g. for Excel), KML or GPX (e.g. for Google Earth)

And another awesome ageye production.
This is the only thing I've missed on my Omnia. Now I got a complete phone.
Thanks mate for the great and useful program. I hope it'll be so successful and innovative like G-Alarm.
good stuff!
couple suggestions:
1. can you make the start/stop and split buttons bigger?
2. a short vibrate or tone when start/stop button is pressed.
3. ability to turn off the screen to save battery.
It would be perfect for me if you can combine the good points of GpsCycleComputer and StopWatch. (you can find these two apps under Diamond forum)
many thanks for this !
Great soft, google maps to view result is great too
I would welcome another button which would stop and restart, or maybe just a restart button, starting the timer again from the current time.
Will this eventually be able to set split intervals in GPS mode. For example, I am going to run 6 miles and I want to know my 1 mile split times, will this eventually have a setting to manually set the split interval for every 1 mile in GPS Mode?

Sounds good. I've messed around with it a little, it definitely has great potential. Thank you for the development and look forward to future releases.
Many many thanks once again for developing an application I can really use and was looking for.
I just managed to catch your post before I went off for the day on my bicycle. I installed it, mounted it on the bike and took it with me on a 24km/15 mile trip. This is what I found:-
1. The speed reading is not working with GPS option enabled. Altitude is working and longitude/latitude.
2. Using it the first time the device went to sleep as per the system settings - 5 mins on battery power. When I woke it up straight away the timer had stopped. If I left it for say 10/15 mins asleep and then woke it up the timer was still running.
The second time I used it on the way back home the device did not go to sleep but the screen dimmed. I could then wake it up by touching the screen which was actually better than pressing the power button and maybe useful for saving battery power? Not sure why it behaved differently on second use.
3. On a bicycle it is difficult to see the information being given as the text is too small. Needs to be as big and bold as the time at the top of the page really.
Suggestions:-
1. Larger start/split buttons and larger text for info given as above.
2. Battery status - to check gps drain on battery.
3. More GPS info which is on your to do list I know - average speed/max speed etc...
4. Option for Miles Per Hour or Km/h. Not sure if that is what the left hand side reading is or not as the speed did not work - if it is maybe it should say mph instead of m.
5. Not essential but useful for me personally - a running log text file where the info can be copied/imported into a spreadsheet to keep a record of exercise done for the week/month. I know this is sort of on your to do list as well.
Hope that helps for now. Look forward to testing the next version.
New version released: v0.1.2

I see what you mean and so quick!
I have not been out with it but there is definitely some speed showing now. It takes longer to get a fix on the GPS - the last version was super quick. A price to pay for the improvements I guess.
Would really like the speed to be more visible with a bigger bold font and I notice the lap time column in bold is not fitting into it's box - some figures at beginning and end not showing fully.
Will take it out and about tomorrow morning.
Great stuff indeed!

The problem renders the viewer unable to "go online". No 21xxx ROMs are affected tmk. This includes all shipping WM6.5 builds & derivatives. Hopefully we'll get to the root problem itnf and it won't require a re-flash to correct
The myLocation service installer can be found here.
The program will install to \Program Files\myRadar. A custom png Icon is also located there for those who may wish to install it in Titanium or Manilla.
Have fun with it!
Changelog:
v1.1
Added gesture capability when loaded in landscape mode. changed pathing logic.
Todo: resize window when device is switched to landscape mode during display.
v1.2
Improved pathing logic. myRadar now looks for myRadar.html in the same folder.
Window will auto-resize when landscape mode is selected. Whether it shows the Map or a background "loading" display is sporadic however. I'm still tracking this bug.
White screen issue isn't fixed yet. I believe I know where the problem lies however.
v1.3
Auto-resize issues corrected. The shown map resizes correctly.
HTC G-Sensor enabled. Simply orient your device for the view you prefer.
Re-boot after installing to activate G-Sensor changes.
v1.4
I removed the Accuweather feed. Using the Wunderground Feed only. Buttons now allow zoom in/out in 120 mile radius increments.

I love radar, thanks, will test this baby out!
Awesome Sleuth... Now we need to get showacos titanium weather to work with it lol.
Already have Radar working. I'll be working on his mortscript for the weather panels itnf. I took a cursory glance a few weeks ago and it's no big deal. I'm hoping to see a lat/long->zipcode myLocation plugin itnf from irus. That will make coding changes a breeze.
Please don't keep it US and WVGA only as your mylocation "awareness" keeps getting better! At least, the non-radar part (radar's US only, isn't it?)!
lol, guess I deserved that.
If you can give me some web URLs that return international radar images, I'd be happy to work custom HTML scripts into the application and let everybody choose which ones to use.
myRadar is really a customized browser that displays a page from myRadar.html. That HTML file contains the coded wunderground/accuweather info. I can link to any site that can return an animated gif when you give it a lat/long.
as an Example Vienna/Austria:
the animatet GIF here
the radar Site here
It's listed as International Site beta but maybe it's usable.
hmmm... nice site! Let me play with it a bit.
thread moved to Rhodium Themes, Applications and Software since it is mostly relevant to this device.
Sweet!
I always love new radar apps! Nice find!
Installed, my location is working properly.
When I click on the radar app, I get a banner in the toolbar with the name, but
a blank white screen where the radar app should be?
hmmm... so you don't see the button that says "accuweather" on the top or the green line that says Weather Underground Radar loop on the bottom? That tells me it isn't loading the html page. If you installed to your SD card then that would cause it. myradar.html must be in \program files\myRadar
Sleuth - Same problem with blank white screen and nothing else. Location is perfect in mylocation. I am running EnergyRom 123109 with 2.5 sense interface. Edit - running it in the Titanium interface makes no difference.
I saw accuweather radar images are for Europe, too. As for Vienna, so it's for Trento (Italy). http://www.accuweather.com/en-us/EUR/IT/IT017/Trento/satellite.aspx
Is this software going to become worldwiSe?

Go to my device (not storage card)\program files\myRadar with your favorite file manager. Is there a file named "myRadar.html" there ?(or will have PIE icon if you can't display file extensions) What other files are in this directory?
If myRadar.html is there, tap on it to launch in PIE. What state is shown on the map?
edit: if you don't have a \program files\myRadar directory on your device, then re-download the cab in post 1 and re-install. I just noticed that your initial post occurred just after I posted the fix.

Working on this. Your first URL stopped working for me after a few inquiries (returned page not available error). I'm investigating why this might be.
The one you just gave me doesn't use Lat/Long coordinates so won't work without a regional translator utility which can take Latitude/Longitude and translate to "EUR/IT/IT017" for example. We're working on one that can do this for US Zip codes currently. I'm also working on getting WOEID information into myLocation since this is a worldwide location system as well that seems to be turning into a standard of some sort.
Still not working
Ok, mine is in the correct folder.
When I launch the html file, it pops up in PIE like it is suppose to.
When I launch it from the icon, I get a blank white screen.
hmm... that points to a problem with the HTML viewer app itself which is leveraging ROM based HTML serivices. Not sure if it is ROM related or not.
v1.1 is up! Adds gesture support to the landscape display.
@posters with white screens: check to see if this cures the issue. If this doesn't cure the issue, please post links to the Chef's thread for the ROM you are running so I can take a look at it.
That might be it! I'll have to check, the rom I run, has skyfire as the default browser, not PIE

sooo.. did the update not help you? Can you post a link to your Rom's thead? The HTML viewer is loading b/c you get a white screen. I'll throw an error if the control isn't loaded. I'm gonna test on some of my older devices to see if I can reproduce this.
edit. Sorry, tried WM5 original TyTN (unbelievable that myLocation works on this with only font issues on the cpl dialog box), WM6 running on a Tilt, and WM6.5 running on a Fuze. I'm unable to reproduce the blank white screen issue.
I started a new post because the other template wallpaper threads are not accurate. This template will not scale and has layers of both landscape and portrait home screen outlines. I also made a layer with the landscape icon grid for adjusting backgrounds to match icon placement.
I made this template through trial and error.
The template is in .psd format.
There are 6 layers.
- 1 Landscape homepage outline (Green)
- 2 Portrait homepage outline (Red)
- 3 Landscape Icon Grid (White)
- 4 Test border (Red) used to test borders.
- 5 Wallpaper Dead Space (Greenish, used to show dead space)
- 6 Background (Dark Grey)
To use in GIMP. After opening template, goto file, open as layer. make sure opened layer is between 4 & 5th layers. Align, turn off visibility to all layers but 5 & 6, then save as a png.
Upload to tab and use stock Gallery and stretch as far as possible.
Again, the green is dead space, it will not appear once loaded.

Here are a couple of wallpapers, not great wallpapers, but HD images to show the power of our screens.
Google Storage with More Images
I just removed the other images, they are too big, they can be found at the link above.
Great work, Honeycomb's useless wallpaper picker is my biggest complaint with it, this will be very helpful.
Cool
Excactly what I needed!
thanks a lot, lot lot, very good work
very useful !!!!
i was gonna use your template to make my own wallpaper, but I found the one you made with the record and it was pretty much what I was gonna make anyway, so I totally stole it! Seriously though, thanks a bunch! you are awesome.
Post an image or a link, and I'll make a wallpaper and post it. Has to be at least 1920x1080.
1920x1200 works better if you use portrait mode.
Glad to hear it's getting used.
Give me some thanks if you like it.
Much appreciated.
Wallpaper request
Id like to see this one if possible. It would go good with my boot animation,

Some of the ROMs have different borders, let me know.
i found on my Iconia very strange behavior
ROM HV 1.2 with Richard's Kernel 3.4
I just took one of your wallpapers (i tried as well others) and put on my home screen and directly after that i saw small pieces of those green corners on my tablet in every corner - but only on the last left or right screen - in landscape - in portrait was ok.
But after reboot - green pieces where gone and the wallpaper looks great.
Strange.

Hi, Scott,
I have tried to use your template here but I'm not having any luck getting this to do what I want, I have attached the image would you be so kind as taking a look at it and if possible fitting it to within your template. I would like it to be perfectly centered so that if in landscape or portrait it is perfectly in the middle, with a light blue background on the image.
Thanks for looking at this.
No Problem
Hope this works, I took some liberties.
The easiest way to get an image is to open it some sort of editor and make the dimensions 1918 x 1406.
My template was for the original ROM, I have since change several times and for whatever reason, each ROM is a little different. I believe the template I used was right, but if not let me know what the issues is, namely some of the green is showing up and I will see what i can do.
If you like, hit the 'Thanks' button.
Scott
Here Here & Here
Those are all awesome. I do have some green... In Landscape, I have some green on the bottom in the far right and left screen. In Portrait I have green on the bottom on all screens
I also notice that when I expand the crop picture the interior lines do not match up to the edge of the green, should they?
Thanks
Harold
dude! i don´t know how to make this works...
0 knowledge about design programs...
if you can make this pictures a nice wallpaper with your template i will be forever in your gratitude.

thanks dude i would really apreciated!!!
(sorry for my english)
Wallpapers
I redid the book Wallpapers and created the beach wallpapers.
The beach ones don't work well because the focal point is not centered and the entire purpose of the template is to not rescale an image and lose definition, I am not really interested in doing something that can be done in Paint. Take 20 mins and figure it out, or better yet, take 5 mins and Google the right resolution.
and this is the right resolution? 1920 x 1408??
http://www.umnet.com/pic/diy/screensaver/e99c4010-8a6a.jpg
thanks!!
Just load it then.
I thin the actual no scaling resolution is 1918x1406, but it won't matter fro that image because it's not HD.

Yes you are correct. The correct resolution of the wallpaper for the A500 is 1920x1408. Not sure where others are getting their information from, but the wallpapers that come stock with the A500 are ALL 1920x1408.
Damn kjy, wish I would have had that info long ago.
I got my dimensions by trial and error, using a magnifying glass to see exactly where the borders were, looks like i was off a pixel or two.
Thanks for the info and sorry nitudo for giving out bad info.
you rock! thanks for this..

He he all you had to do was go into the launcher2.apk, pull one of the stock wallpapers out, and open it in Photoshop to get the correct Res.
