Manually uploading pictures to sports tracker.

| February 1, 2008 | Reply


Its 5 in the morning, i’m sitting on some same, watching the stars blinking and the moon play with the tide.

The picture above was taken yesterday in an internet cafe with a half decent system and workable claimed 512kb connection. Should you ever be in an unfortunate situation where sports tracker will not recognised your tracked photos, there’s always an option at least, of finding a computer and cable/memory cardreader/bt dongle and putting your pictures on st yourself.

Now because there isn’t a bulk upload option as of yet, something that might take 20 minutes from the phone would take you 3 hours on a computer (based on the local connection speed)

When your workout is uploaded, just choose upload A PHOTO. Since there’s no bulk upload option as of yet, you must put each photo up one by one. Therefore something that could take 20 minutes on your phone would take you 3 hours based on the local connection speed. You could always mass shrink your images first since sports tracker doesn’t use full size images. I would have used microsoft outlook.

First select a bunch of photos, right click “send to email recipient” and “make images smaller” when options appear. Them copy the attached files in outlook to somewhere like your desktop ready for upload. There’s other methods and dedicated software but outlook is often on most computers(except the ones I happen to be using when I’m here)

    Not sure why you invoked the oracle of “outlook”… but seems that the picture sending capabilities of the phone (to email addresses) also has the option to send them as smaller versions? Any mail reader would then function to grab them small ones and begin the SportsTracker one-by-one upload process.

    But believe me, I agree 100% with the frustrations… promising technology… horrible implementation for the task of travel/story-telling/sharing on the go.

    also you’ve taken a lot more pics than devin did all trip. you have a lot of material to upload from a very remote and beautiful part of the world. the projct is going ahead nonetheless.
    i am keeping my eye out for you urbanistas everytime i get a chance to log on.

    are you not adding too many captions to your pics due to your tech difficulties?

    happy travels. Ed.
