you can use wifi upload to get small maps from google directly over wifi.. I would not try getting a large map though - it may take forever.. gmdl is still your best bet..

still working on the vector data implementation - re-writing the storage container....

I love it, very nice job.... and much stronger signal...... I ordered the extension, but I do not think I will need it.

I finally got it done and works:thumbup:
I used (PSP Slim+Holux GPSlim236) combination, on my first try, I did not change the "enableserial" setting on Mapthis as suggested by Deniska, after doing that, it's all done, very easy and clean, thanks Deniska!
for the DIY cable, I want to suggested that one should try the "remote control cable" originally tested by Deniska, I instead used a "component TV output cable" because I thought that was also from the serial port, but after testing the pins with Ohm meter, I found that the cable did not solder one of the 2 pins in its sealed head, which is needed for this work, I have to unseal the head and do some soldering to connect the missing pin, which makes this cable vulnerable to water and so on, so be advised, just used the "remote control cable" that Deniska suggested. Good work!

by the way, can this software be used in "automatic routing"

that is, I point out the destination, then Mapthis does the routing job, guide me which routes I should take?

ENABLESERIALPORT=1 for Holux

i met all requirement meaning

1) you must run 3.xx version of the program
2) must have ENABLESERIALPORT=1 in config
3)must start up the program w/o anything connected to serial port jack..

and i'm using holux. at first i thot its because i did not wire the ground in. but i rewire again and it still doesn't work.. i've got a feeling its the TA082 MB causin all this again..

thanks a lot !

works well in france without crashing on 3.71 M33-2 & PSP 290 .

there is a little bug with the POI , in fact I see the POI pictures twice

sorry for my poor english

Thx! but it only works with my psp290, every time i change ENABLESERIALPORT=1 in config file for working with my Holux 1000, it fails, i realize at the beginning of the program modules are not charged, different than when ENABLESERIALPORT is set to 0 (using psp290). Strange! Using 3.71 M33-3 in Fat PSP.

Poi format has changed as of v0.505 - if you use custom POIs - you'll need to convert them to newer format: the icons should be aligned vertically with sizes equal to 8x16, 16x32, 32x64...
