Map This! v0.3

[deniska]

Bug: GPS-function, when I use this, the GPS-point-Icon is : disappeaing or showing in nord-direction when I am not driving in nord-direction. I can take a picture, if you want. This is only happen in the "Toggle North up"-mode.

(I use Dark_Alex's Custom Firmware 2.71 SE-C)

Thanks for the report, I got this problem too while driving yestreday... I'll try to fix it in the next release...

Deniska,
I have a question for you.

I remember somebody a while ago asked about Map This working on FW 2XX. He was told that he needed Kernal Acces for it to work in the GPS mode.
Here comes the question.
I have two PSP's, one uses ,Dark_Alex's Custom Firmware 2.71 SE-C, the other is a Ta-82 2.71which I do a reverse Devhook on to emulate 1.5 FW.
When I devhook I can also Load ISO's, which I was told I would only be able to do having 1.5 Kernel Acces.
But it works fine. I tried Mapthis this moring and it gave me first a BAD then No for GPS signal.
What do you think?
Do you think it can be made to work with DEvhook emulating 1.5
When you go to check the FW, it tells you 1.5. Not like the otehr homebrew enablers.
I think its called HENB

Well, this is more a question for Booster & DarkAlex.
My guess is that reverse devhook (which I know nothing about) has incomplete serial port emulation for ta-82 board. Of perhaps, the board has different input voltage - so you just need a different resistance value???
Of course, serial port is not used in most comercial ISO games so you would not know the difference, playing the ISO images...

deniska, if you are releasing 0.4 before Friday (off for a few weeks then) and want to bundle a correspondingly versioned map download app I've put one up on (I'll trigger the auto update as soon as Map This! 0.4 is released):

http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/gmdl0.4.0b.zip

Functionality wise it's the same as the latest GPSFS one.

No problem... I'll try to wrap something up before friday.. After that I am off for a week too - going skiing to Utah...

Deniska,
I'll try to contact Booster or Dark Alex, and ask them that same question.
Thanx for your help..
You are awesome.
Have fun Skiing...

See post #129 and #131

At PSP Updates QJ

It says it has a Localization feature. What is that?

Feature suggestion: Make it so it switches to other maps automatically as you start to leave the current map.

Now all we need is MapThis! 0.5 (not BETA).
