Map This! v0.3

[gl0om]

You may want to try the beta version, attached to the download tool thread (somethere towards the end of it) - I tested your map with GPSFS version (although the map was left as directory structure)
Let me know how it works out...

YES!!!! Map loads with GPSFS version from GPSFS files. But doesnt with zip files (unpacked version i didnt try).
Thank you so much!!!!!

zip support was dropped in GPSFS version....

pspryu101, I wrote up how to create simple custom maps on:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_Thi...g_a_Custom_Map

As for speaking turn left/right - the speaker would have to be forced to work with the headphones plugged in (is this possible?), after that the direction POIs would still be needed, but I guess could be marked up to trigger the left/right audio files to be played. But it's down to deniska if this is actually possible.

You probably want to checkout the source from SVN server from PS2dev.org (sometimes it's down though)
For example to get the zlib you type following line at your unix prompt:

svn co svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/zlib
Once you get the code - go to zlib directory and follow the instructions in README(.PSP) file

Aaaah! Thank you Deniska. Finally, I was able to complie it. So much to learn, so little time.....
(Also thank you ZeroAltitude.)

Does anyone know for sure if this works with the GPSlim 240? It'd be nice to have that instead of the GPSlim 236 but I don't want to buy it if it won't work. One of the lines under interface is "Compatible Bluetooth device with Serial Port Profile (SPP)" which leads me to believe it will but confirmation would be nice. Thanks.

edit: I know you mentioned this device on the first page but when I went to the site and looked at the interface specs, the 236 had bluetooth and serial port as different entities whereas on the 240 the serial part was gone and there was only mention of serial within the bluetooth specs. The way I understand it is that the 240 doesn't actually have built in bluetooth but needs to connect to a serial bluetooth device via the usb-like port? Meaning that if i hooked it up to my psp it should interface properly right?

Anthrox, I am using MapTHis with 240. I agree that their spec sheet is confusing. They (240 and 236) are virtually same device except output voltage is 3V instead of V3.3~5. (based on spec) I am using 1K register as with deniska's original design and it works great. 240 also has bluetooth.

OK>>>
I got everything working with the latest beta build.
Works like a charm...
I do have 2 questions though...

Whats the most satellites somebody can get? I had 10. I imagine thats pretty good.

And whats fix quality? Mine always reads 1. Its very accurate, but I was wondering.
Thanks for the help...
With 10 Sats, is it even worth it buying a external antenna?

I never got higher number than 9 so far.
Fix quality: 0 = invalid
1 = GPS fix
2 = DGPS fix
Here is the link explaining what DGPS is:

You may consider external antenna if you have a stationary setup (car/boat/etc) -it should improve the reception in "bad" places (short tunnels, bridges, area with sky scrappers)

[Russoxley187]

Well, I never had 10 either until this morning...
Pretty strange..
I want to relocate my GPS because right now its in my blackberry holder in my windshield.
Thats why I'm prob gonna get an external antenna.
Thanks for the info...

Does anyone know how long the Battery on a GPSlim 236 will last with continuous use?
Just wondering.
I have to make a 8 hr trip into the mountains on North Carolina and I don't want it to die.
