I have access to Magellan and TOM TOM maps of Australia in their Memory stick format.
Can I load these maps with MapThis product through this tutorial without any other emulation.

I would expect to have to prepare the data etc. on my desktop ?windows PC.

Hi, Everyone,

I'm a newbie and thanking in advance for your help with my questions.

I have the following
1). PSP slim System Software: 3.71 M33-2
2). PSP-290 (GPR Receiver)

According to the guides in the forum, I need
1). Mapthis! 0.5.0ZZ
2). Mapthis! 0.497 EBOOT
3). In7ane's Map Downloader

Do I need to do the followings as posted by member PDG?

Question 1: Do you need .prx files for your PSP-290 GPS? Want to know how to extract them? -=[Click here for my flash guide]=-
Question 3: How do i get MapThis + PSP-290 GPS and my maps working? -=[Click here for a guide]=-

Yes you need the .PRX files.
The .PRX files will be on your Sim card after you format it in the PSP, use a new , blank card, for this. An old card will have them there already. Just search the SIM card on your PC .
The USB connection to your pc will then see these files on the card in the directory.
Then all the other support software comments will make sense.

An excellent guide is on this link

SIM cards go in phones, memory sticks go in PSPs . Also, new cards or old cards don't matter much. Formatting using FAT32 does seem to work for some people.

Infranetdog: see http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/ for the newest version of MapThis. For this version, you won't need any PRX files anymore.

If you're stuck, you can indeed try PDG's tutorials (except question 1, you don't need it).

I Have a question. Why is it when I make my Poi's it adds on a bunch of other locations that i didn't choose. For example i search for Edwards Theatres, then i highlight all the edwards theatres in the search results. Name it _Edwards Cinema. and when i look it up in the psp it shows all of the results, not just the ones i highlighted.

Thanking in advance for your help.

Executed the following in WinXP by double click the EXE
gmdl0.5.03b\GMDL\bin\Debug\Global Map Download Tool.exe

Error message returned
"The application failed to initialize properly (Oxc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

MCoolU: MapThis also loads _MY_POIS by default, is this what's happening?

the_5treet: it does that when the map is very small and contains only 1 tile. You can (re)download maps using GMDL.

Infranetdog: have you installed .NET 2 framework?
