I paused my porting projects and desided to work on a portable map viewer for PSP (code name MapThis!)
Here is a shot from a current (very buggy version):
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/images/mapthis.jpg
The application will allow to:
- scroll though 3100x2500 pix map, covering ~ 52sq mi area with city level details.
- zoomout (currently very buggy)
- access area's attractions info (currently just restaurants) with name/address/phone
- mapping to gps coordinates, allowing the posibility of external gps feed
- one map with attrcations data takes ~ 1Mb of space on MS
-application will come with a linux/cygwin script to generate map tiles and data from public sources for given address. The script can be wraped in to a cgi wrapper and therefore turned in to a web service.
Please contact me if you want to lend a USB based GPS mouse for my experiments or want to work on the gps communication part (I want to create a USB driver, so it can be plugged in w/o soldering)
