Android Application Setup & Upgrade

Android Application      We recently launched our Android Application to enable users to record their tracks or points-of-interest (PoI) content from their Smartphones and automatically upload it their myGeoDiary account over the mobile network.   Since the launch in late May, we have received some great feedback (happy and angry) from our user community and we are constantly striving to address them.   Outlined below is some basic help guide on the application: 1. We have noticed that some of you are having problems with the application when the phone does not get a GPS fix OR a good cellular signal.   The Android application does not get a GPS fix and creates a track with zero points.   This could be due to the Android phone's GPS not being turned ON or poor GPS reception (Android phones do not have their GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth turned on by default).    Solution:  Users have to go into settings and manually turn on the GPS satellite option (See attached screen shots).   We have fixed this problem such that no tracks with zero points are now being created.   In case you have an old track with zero points, please delete them. 2. The Android application loses some GPS points.   This is due to the application losing the points when there is cellular coverage to upload the GPS points.   Solution: We have fixed this problem such that the phone will store your location data and periodically upload them to the server when a cell coverage is available (instead of losing them).
