Yeah, no idea, let's put it down to the refactoring :)
What are the chances of getting a build of your where.mendhak.com code? Would be quite interested in putting this through it's paces?

That's going to be the next sub-project for this. Here's what I envision, tell me what you think.
I place the web code at track.mendhak.com. So you could potentially have
track.mendhak.com/gep13
User will need to 'sign up' the URL they want and for that, they request it from the application which sends "gep13" to the web app. Web app checks if available, stores the name against a GUID and the GUID is sent back to the GPSTracka app which then gets written to the config file. As long as you have the GUID, gep13 is yours.
Now when a request is made to update a location on track.mendhak.com with some text, it gets sent along with the GUID, and I update the URL against it for that user so that each user is kept separate, but the URL is unique.
So everyone has
track.mendhak.com/blah
or
track.mendhak.com/blah.aspx
Of course, I get to keep where.mendhak.com for myself. :P
Hey,
Ah, so you are planning on hosting the tracking application on your own server, and then providing people access to it? Is that right?
Will you be charging for this service?
What if people don't want to upload tracking data onto your server, are you also thinking about providing the code for them to run there own tracking software on their own server?
Gary
No charge!! I want to keep it free as long as I can.
But yeah, it'll all be on my server and I was thinking of what you said too - make the web code available so that someone can host it themselves (which means that the URL needs to be in the config file too).
Do you do C#? If this appeals and you have the time you could help out. No obligation, etc etc.
Yip, C# is where it's at :)
Time permitting, I would be happy to help out.
The only slight caveat is that the web server that I run is using Mono for my ASP.Net applications, so code would have to be Mono compliant, i.e. read .Net Framework 2.0, although some of the 3.5 stuff is starting to be supported.

Hey,
I was just browsing the interweb, and I found the following:

Haven't bought it or anything, but just thought I would point it out.
