Spotwalla With Bubbler

[Bodø Glimt]

Does anyone here use Spotwalla with Bubbler GPS on an android device?  I've tried to give it a go but can't get it to work.

Many in the LD Community use bubbler on Spotwalla....have you followed the setup "Creating & Updating a Bubbler GPS Device" as detailed on this page??? https://spotwalla.com/help/devices.php#update-bubbler

[Bodø Glimt]

Yes, I  did all that.

[Brookester]

Yes, I  did all that.

OK so next question is have you created a trip with start and finish times??? And then did you trigger it say 12hrs before so that Spotwalla sees it as active device and then starts pinging for it regularly???

[Bodø Glimt]

Closer to about eight hours but everything else I did.   I'll stick with the greenalp app I've been using as I know it works.

Can only suggest flicking Jason an email via the contact page and I am sure he'll sort it for you as he always seems to...

It took me a little while, but I got it working.
I've even managed to change phones and keep it working.

I've got a red button here but don't know how to change it.

And when I  open that I get this.

I had the same problem.

From memory, you have to go to the Spotwalla website and add/register your phone as a device.

After you login:



Add:



Choose type:


Give it a name.

Open to Bubbler
Click on the device button:



Select your device:


 and it should turn green.


Hope that helps.

Cheers,

I've done the website part but my tablet won't show the devices.

Same login on both?

I am a loss as to what the issue is.  Phone and tablet both having the same problem.

At the next RTE hopefully you can go through it with someone who's done it and get it fixed.

[Bodø Glimt]

It's for that trip I was hoping to get it running.

[Bodø Glimt]

After getting home and having a computer with a decent screen and keyboard I sent an email off to both Bubbler and Spotwalla.  Hopefully one of them reply.

Is StinkyPete reasonably close? He might be able to help.

I had hoped either Bubbler or Spotwalla would have replied to the email by now.

I assume that you have the "Data Usage"setting on your phone tuned on.   Other than that, I'm not sure I can help.

[Bodø Glimt]

It's a tablet with a data sim card, and yes data is on.

I also assume the GPS function is on.

[Bodø Glimt]

Yes.  Both bubbler and my other gps app (greenalp) are storing points, but bubbler is not conveying them to spotwalla.

 Bodo when I had spot/ bubbler trouble Brian Crawford helped get it sorted. I think his OzSTOC forum name is Farkleit. maybe give him a PM and see if he can get it sorted for you.
Did you enable web API in your devices. Click on your device and a drop down menu has the options Web API is 2nd last .
