First I'd like to thank deniska,you made an awesome work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a question:
In menu / GPS INFO there's a field "LOC" that varies from 0 to 2 with the right button
what is that for?

[raj_ace_in]

hi, i had a look in my psp and the none of the button did anything to th field "LOC", only up and down button was changing the speed of the cpu. maybe it is because i checked without gps. i will try it with gps and see what happens.

by the way to all those who have downloaded the mapthis programe and want to see how it works, i have uploaded the global map. it will not show you details like road etc. but will show you the world map which is good to see how mapthis works. the zoom level is not great but thats what we can get in 3mb file.

extract and place this file in "maps" folder in your mapthis programme in the memory stick.

Whats the src folder for?

[raj_ace_in]

src folder contains the source code in "C" for the application, in case someone wants to improve it or port to another platform

Hello!
My dear foreign friends!
I am a Chinese Mapthis user. Thanks to deniska provide such great app to us!!
At the first time I knew PSP can run GPS I bought a PSP-290. And then I downgrade my 2.71(TA-082)PSP to 1.5 FW, then upgrade it to 3.40 OEA.
I run a modified Mapthis290_cn well now!
But I have one problem with use the latest Mapthis0499_beta, I replaced the old folder "system" and the old "eboot.pbp" with the Mapthis0499_beta ones. After start the app, when I open a map(which works well with "mapthis290_cn") it displays not correctly. After the PSP fixed the satellites it says "Location out of range!! The map does not cover the following coord: xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx"
I change the "Config.txt" file according to my area, such as the time zone=+8 etc.
Also the time displayed is not my location's time.

So what should I do with the latest mapthis0499_beta? What should I to change to let it works well in China?

Waiting for your kind answer!!! Thanks in advance!!

you must replace also the system folder
probably you have FAKEFEED=1
in system/config.txt

set it to 0 and let me know

Perhaps the map that you use has a different projection... I know there is a chinese clone of the program - but not sure what was changed in the program...
I would recomend - generating a new map with gmdl tool
