MapThis! 0.5 (1 Year Anniversary Edition)

[deniska]

08/19/2007]:::Update::: Enabling sound for generic (serial) gps devices.
One of the main compaints of the holux users is the lack of sound, since the plug, required for serial connection, automatically mutes PSP's speakers.
Mr7 just dropped in with this easy solution:
"Chop off the tip of the audio plug"
I tried it on 2 of my cablesand it works just fine..

[08/18/2007]:::Update::: in7ane just released a new version of gmdl, which patches some compatibility issues.

Heres a new release of the Map This - Map Software for PSP with support for PSP GPS Receiver (http://www.play-asia.com/SOap-23-83-2pz-71-bh-49-en-84-j-70-1mij.html)

DIGG THIS RELEASE (http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/mapthis-0-5-1-year-anniversary-edition--71404.html)

http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/mapthis-0-5-1-year-anniversary-edition--71404.html


NEW IN v0.5
-----------
- Birds Eye mode
- Inverted colors (night) mode
- Voice Prompts / Alerts support. (* see notes below)
- Missing zoom layer rendering (only for gpsfs maps). MapThis! attempts to render a missing zoom layer with shrinked
tiles fromthe next zoom level.
- Screenshots are saved in ms0:/PSP/PHOTO now
- Icons/sounds can now be located in either a particular map directory or system (system/sounds or system/icons) directory.
- POI and WAYPOINT files can now also be looked up from ms0:/PSP/COMMON
- Geodata can now be shared between maps if geodata.dat file is placed in the same directory as EBOOT.PBP.
The program will attempt to load geodata.dat file in the current map directory first.
- New tiger line geodata for USA (2006se from 03/2007) compiled and available through gmdl18a and higher versions.
- Edit functionality added to "Configuration" screen. While in Configuration screen, scroll down untill the line that needs to be
edited is on top. Press [X] to enter the edit mode. You can use up/down arrows to increment/decrement current character by 1.
Use [START] to save or [SELECT] to cancel the edit.
- New current position prediction logic, hopefully resulting in smoother scrolling.
- A few rendering bug fixes in graphics routines.
- New parameters added to configuration file: STARTUPFREQUENCY, STARTUPSCREENMODE, NIGHTMODE, SPEEDLIMIT.
SATINFOFREQUENCY defines cpu frequency on Satellite Info screen (PSP-290 only)
- Timezone parameter removed from configuration, timezone is determined based on your psp date/time settings.
- Localization support (language packs).
- PSP-290 version does not require prx files to run in non-gps mode.
- Attached sorce code adopted to the latest verison of PSPSDK

KNOWN BUGS / PROBLEMS
-----------------
- WIFI MAP UPLOAD does not work for PSP-290 version
- Infrequent crashes (still under investigation)



VOICE PROMPTS / ALERTS EXPLANATION
---------------------------------
Starting with MapThis! 0.5 it is possible to assign sound alerts to any POI or waypoint.
For instance, if you have a speed trap POI list for your area and you'd like to have a
sound alert when approaching a speed trap you'll need to do following:
1) Save your alert sound as 128bps/44Khz mp3 file as system/messageXXX.mp3 where XXX is any 3 digit number.
2) Edit your speed trap POI file to add that message number to the end of every poi definition line
40.666758,-73.992049,SPEED CAMERA,CAMERA1,XXX
40.666901,-73.988001,SPEED TRAP,TROOPER,XXX
........

The latest gmdl tool has the ability to match waypoint descriptions to a predefined dictionary of voice
prompts. For example if it detects a word "left" in the description it can assign "Left turn ahead"
pre-recorded message. The dictionary in gmdl is configurable via sounds.txt file, in which certain words
or phrases are linked to mp3 messages. MapThis! allows up to 1000 different messages per route or POI file.



INSTALLATION
------------

To get gps functionality working:
generic gps receiver version must be ran under 1.5 kernel (install in GAME150 folder under custom FW)
PSP-290 gps receiver version must be ran under 3.XX kernel (install in GAME3XX folder under custom FW)
PSP-290 version requires usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx files for GPS functionality to be working properly.
These files must be extracted from your firmware version and placed in the same directory as EBOOT.PBP.
Visit MapThis! FAQ threads in DCEMU forums (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=170) for details.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed time, skills, hardware and money to this project!

[luis_05]

damn that looks so sweet! keep up the good work deniska

[Ninja_NZ]

Wicked!

Thanks heaps Deniska!

You've made my weekend!

:thumbup:

[ejv21]

Wow Kjalkn Yay My Day Has Been Made

[Codaz]

OMFG it's out. Dcemu was down this morning i almost cryed that it was down for a week again. But it's UP and Mapthis 0.5 is LIVE AND KICKING !!

Thank you soo much Deniska !

How is your progress on the implementation of new GPS devices ? Has somebody lend you a device ?

[waichai]

thanz Deniska In7ane MIB.42 Nieko Atari800 for this beautiful app, i have tried it out, it's good so far

[mike03$$$]

Good Work Deniska Keep it up by december i might buy a gps 290 device

[maxipower90]

hows this accutaly work? do i need wifi in my car or something, i dont understande how it reads the signal

[george224]

OMFG yessss thank you deniska you're the best but what does this mean ? i have psp- 290:WIFI MAP UPLOAD does not work for PSP-290 version

[harryohh]

Great work by everybody involved.

I'm using the gps-290 version and it crashes regularly especially when I load up POIs

[DennyPSP]

The given version catches and fixes much more quickly and more satellites than earlier.. Superrrr

[deniska]

what does this mean ? i have psp- 290:WIFI MAP UPLOAD does not work for PSP-290 version

This means that you cannot generate your map directly on psp (wia wifi connection) with psp-290 version of the program.
You'll need to use gmdl to generate maps...

[Codaz]

Deniska first bug found in configuration.

If i want to edit the STARTUPMAP, i type _AMDERDAM

Whoops, typed a mistake so i want to delete it, to make AMSTERDAM but the delete does nothing !!

Also the up and down to increment and decrement a number (e.g nightvision 1 or 0 ) doesn't work.

But VERY fine that i can edit config.

The Editing is a bit dangerous. You can edit too much:

I can delete too much so it becomes NIGH, it was NIGHTMODE

That will lock up the program.

Also it doesn't autosave the config people, you have to press start for that remember !

[Thargalt18]

Hi deniska i fond of what you do for the psp-290 :)

But I leave in france and when i look up for 'adress look up' Mapthis say :
Error !
Geodoata file is missing
but there is a google Map wich is often used by the french users.

Here is the Map : http://caldor.free.fr/psp/map/_PARIS.zip


What can I do to use the geo data fonctions please ?

PS: hexa hop is a very good hombrew a bit hard but veryy good game.

[Codaz]

The 3D mode is GODLIKE :)

I race around my map now and turning with my shoulder buttons. I raced from Amsterdam to Rotterdam AMAZING feature.

I need to make the maps a bit higher quality because they become a bit screwed in lower levels in 3d mode. A bit blocky.

[lazie133]

Thats is awesome, THANK YOU SO MUCH. =)

[masc]

Thanks for the release deniska.

I got two questions:
1st - What's SATINFOFREQUENCY=90 good for?
2nd - What's STARTUPSCREENMODE=0 good for?

And thanks for implementing 'startupfrequency', this saves a lot of time for me :)

Though i have little problems with startupmap (it was working in 0.499 but in 0.5 it won't load the map immediantly).

[artofscripting]

Dude You rock

[Codaz]

Though i have little problems with startupmap (it was working in 0.499 but in 0.5 it won't load the map immediantly).

Sat info frequency is the cpu speed the psp should be on when you are going to the GPS info screen.

With the psp-290, the lower the cpu speed, the faster it fixes.

Startup screen mode = normal (0) or nightvision (1).

[Gene]

Wow this just gets better and better. I made a map of my city with the new gmdl and it finally downloaded the geodata. Still has the cwcheat crash, so make sure you turn cwcheat off when starting up Mapthis!.

Also I love the new 3D mode. It gives me a much better sense of direction on the road. Fantastic job!

[Russoxley187]

wow...
I'm sooooo happy..
I have been following this since day one...
This is a great release...
You are the man...

[deniska]

Thanks for the release deniska.

STARTUPSCREENMODE let's your startup with either notrth up, track up or 3D mode. Only works if startup map is specified.

your startup map probbaly does not load due to "^M" or "^r" characters that windows-based editors add to the end of each line.
To fix that, go to ->configuration, edit the starupmap line and remove the the white space character, following the last letter in your map with "delete" button on danzeff keyboard.
After "saving" that line with [start], go to edit again and make sure that the blinking cursor points at the last latter in your map's name...

[deniska]

Deniska first bug found in configuration.

That will lock up the program.

Also it doesn't autosave the config people, you have to press start for that remember !
Make sure that the cursor is pointing at the character that you are deleting...or incre/decrementing...

You are right - edit mode is not foolproof yet... but it's better than not having the ability to change some setting "on the go"...

BTW, you have to restart the program in order for some settings to take effect..

[Savaage]

Thank you Deniska, you are a dream....

The only thing im confused about is how to get turn by turn directions, anyone know where i can get info on this, thanks

[califrag]

this is so awesome I can't wait to get home and download it. I am anxious to test the 3d mode/birds eye view I asked for and deniska made a reality! Thank you deniska you are awesome! :D

[Mew]

the new 3D mode looks damn great! :)
thank you, deniska

[parkermauney]

Holy dammit!
Deniska = Wins life.

[sleekyboy24]

finally the wait is over... just tested the 3d nitemode. pretty cool... thanks Deniska

[Sullivan]

i have not yet ordered my gps yet. it say the gps psp-290 version has problems with wifi map uploading. what other psp gps models are there.

[Ninja_NZ]

I just tried this with directions I made in GMDL and the sound notifications (eg. left turn ahead, destination arrived etc...) play real fast like chipmunks.

Anyone else had this problem?

[Sullivan]

is there a search function in mapthis?

[Arxidon]

I had this problem as well. Except it was only on right turns. The rest of the sounds (left turn, etc.) worked fine.

[lsneakyl]

Good job and thanks Deniska! Its working great! The only thing weird I saw was that I had to make my map all lowercase letters to make it start up with program. Other than that, awesome job!

[Sullivan]

you guys should upload the sounds to share

[deniska]

I just tried this with directions I made in GMDL and the sound notifications (eg. left turn ahead, destination arrived etc...) play real fast like chipmunks.

Anyone else had this problem?

Did you create the directions with the latest version of gmdl? (you may need to re-download it...)
the previous version had the voice prompts sampled in 56kbps.. Mapthis needs 128 kbps samples...
So make sure you link to samples in system/sounds directory..

[deniska]

is there a search function in mapthis?

There is search for POIs (listing upto 100 closest POIs matching your query) and also address lookup.
Address search currently requires geodata, which is available for USA only (some parts of Canada may work too)

[the_troll]

I can't get the Map to autoload. I placed the name of _Los Angeles in the config file with no luck. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

[Ninja_NZ]

I've solved the problem now, I did use the latest GMDL 4.18a.

I just copied and over writ the old sounds that were auto included when you generated a map with GMDL 4.18a with the new sounds from mapthis 0.5 into the my map folder.

[deniska]

I can't get the Map to autoload. I placed the name of _Los Angeles in the config file with no luck. Suggestions greatly appreciated.

[Sullivan]

does anyone have the whole us map? if so how much room does it take up. if no one has it, whats a guess on the size?

[deniska]

does anyone have the whole us map? if so how much room does it take up. if no one has it, whats a guess on the size?
map size depends on zoom range... you can have the whole planet on 32 mb memory stick, but would not be able to zoom in close.
gmdl gives rough map size estimates on preview popup screens...

[lsneakyl]

I can't get the Map to autoload. I placed the name of _Los Angeles in the config file with no luck. Suggestions greatly appreciated.


read post #23

If that doesn't work, try to use all lowercase (ie. _losangeles). That worked for me along with Deniska's method. :)

[Sullivan]

well do you think it possible to fit the whole us map with street view zoom on a 4gb card. i am willing to buy another for this great app.

[jhylee]

I made directions with a new version of gmdl, but the message numbers were added to the end of POIs as single digit numbers like 1,2, or 9....Do I have to change those numbers every time with three digit numbers by myself?

[Sullivan]

why not let mapthis make the directions?

[the_troll]

Tried suggestions on posst 23, and made the directory all lower case with no spaces and nothing. I still have to select the map.

[bastef]

I was just wondering about something. what is this :"load wifi Module"??
what does it do
how do I use it, can somebody give me an example on how can I download the map using wifi????
thanks for the help
otherwise

good job again Deniska, you never stop to impress me.
good stuff.

EDIT: oh yeah how do you play mp3 while having Gps at the same, I though you were saying something about that???

[specialist83]

great work deniska..! mapthis will alwayz be the best hombrew ever...

[Sullivan]

deniska i didnt know there were more then one model of gps's. you said theres a bug with the psp-290. what model should i get?

[Denisottawa]

Thanks!

[george224]

This means that you cannot generate your map directly on psp (wia wifi connection) with psp-290 version of the program.
You'll need to use gmdl to generate maps...

oh ok i dont even know how to download maps by wifi only know how to download them by the gdml program thanks for the response.:) i love your program

[The_It]

so... how do you get maps? can you use mapsource? or can you download regions off the internet?

[george224]

hey deniska i was just wondering how can i like get directions like on google maps so it will show like zip:10463 to: jfk i go to the directions on the map downloader i do the directions and download them into a poi then i load it on 0.5 and it crashes then i tried it on 0.4 version and it showed where jfk is but no directions any help??

[emuking]

wow thats amazing zomg?!

[cydus21]

hmmmm.. about the startupmap thing.. i can't make it work too.. redownloaded the original file, edited it with only mapthis! and its still not workin.. any more ideas anyone?

below is my config minus comments:

BAUD=38401

DMS=2

FAKEFEED=0

SPEEDFIX=1.8523

ALTFIX=3.280839895

WARNINGDISTANCE=50

SPEEDFACTOR=0.99

(tried both with a _ and without it)
STARTUPMAP=MELBOURNE

CACHEMAPINDEX=0

STARTUPFREQUENCY=333

STARTUPSCREENMODE=1

NIGHTMODE=0

SPEEDLIMIT=65

DEBUGLOG=0

[phentex]

Hi everybody, what jolly work you're doing deniska.

I was wondering:
When using 3D display in track up mode, arent't L & R currently inverted ? When I press L, it turns to the right, when I press R, it turns to the left...

Also, about this wifi map downloading, why couldn't you integrate it in the psp-290 version?

Could someone please give me a link to the famous holux gps dongle thing?

thx very much in advance.

[Gene]

To fit the entire us with street view you would need a terabyte memory stick, to say the least.

[wildon]

Does this version work with M33 CFW's?

[Ursus]

Dear all,

my 0.5 works totally fine but when i dl the poi (route) on the GMDL program, even when the "sound" option is clicked, im still getting no sound when i m driving around, any suggestions?

[in7ane]

Ursus, could you post the _DIRECTIONS file you get (it is probably because sounds.txt does not match up to any key words in the directions - non English directions maybe?). Also make sure you have http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.00b.zip or a resonably recent 0.4.18a

[Thargalt18]

Address search currently requires geodata, which is available for USA only (some parts of Canada may work too)

But why it dosent work in europe ?

And i have found some bugs :

the time dont work very fine : for exemple Map this say it's 13:17 but in the XMB it's 14:18


And the other, when i put on the 3D mode and i come back on an other mode, i see in the night colors.

[krille99]

But why it dosent work in europe ?
You can use the "Adress lookup" function in europe to, but you need geodata for your country.

[nerd.geek]

Deniska, been waiting for this release, have been using the last one loads and found it to be the best PSP homebrew out there... Am looking forward to getting this installed.

Nice one..

[lsneakyl]

Does this version work with M33 CFW's?

Yes, I am on 3.52 m33-2 with holux m1000 with no problem.

[tenshu]

okay very nice homebrew
maybe the best ever

I'm interested in participating to the Open Street Map (http://openstreetmap.org) project
And i know that mapthis could record GPS tracklog

But under which format? gpx?

thanks

[Thargalt18]

You can use the "Adress lookup" function in europe to, but you need geodata for your country.

Aaah ok :)

But how can i do a geodata file for france ?

[Ursus]

Ursus, could you post the _DIRECTIONS file you get (it is probably because sounds.txt does not match up to any key words in the directions - non English directions maybe?). Also make sure you have http://www.in7ane.com/psp/gmdl0.5.00b.zip or a resonably recent 0.4.18a

i couldnt attach the file, so im pasting the text here.

[Mystheryman]

Nice App.
Have to try this in a few minutes, when it is dark outside :)
And really cool that you can edit the config file with the PSP.
But a GUI for the config file would be great =)

[Sullivan]

now all i need to do is beg my dad to order the gps.

[Sterist]

can someone PLEASE point me in the direction of a guide that includes full instructions for users with NO gps? or could someone who doesnt have one please zip and send me your folder set-up? (not including map)

[ry0san]

Hi all,
I have the same problem than Urus.
I have made waypoints with GMDL 0.5.00.b on the map of my city but when I try to drive I don't have the sound.

The waypoints and POI are good, they write "turn left, turn right, etc..." but when I'm on, there is no voice.
I don't understand what I must do anymore for works.

Also, the 0.5 works perfectly and thank you so much
to the people worked on.

[in7ane]

Ursus, ry0san, have you unzipped the GMDL archive, and do you definitely have sounds.txt in the same directory as the exe?

[ry0san]

in7ane, yes I have unzipped GMDL and I have the sounds.txt near the Global Map Download Tool.exe.
I have made my waypoints in the "direction" tab.
Maybe I have forgot an option.
But this is the same procedure than the older versions of mapthis and GMDL isnt'it ? There is nothing to do anymore ?

[califrag]

Wow so I've finally had a chance to test the new version out and I have to say it is very impressive!

Deniska you never cease to amaze us.

Two things I would like to see added for the new features in the upcoming versions:
the ability to control the tilt level in 3D mode (MapThis! = Google Earth for PSP) &
the ability to have "autonightmode" in config.txt for nightmode.

The autonightmode could be set with a value like "autonightmode=20:00" so after 8:00 PM it will always start the map with auto nightmode, or if a map is already opened, and that time passes, it will automatically switch to the nightmode version of the current view.

I know there is the ability toggle it always on or always off, but that requires editing the config every time, plus i know you can toggle through the views to get to the nightmode ones, but I just think this would be a nice feature.

Plus if you could program in sunrise/sunset times (like in Art's time baby program) that would make it even more powerful so you could just have nightmode automatically enable 30 minutes after sunset and disable 30 minutes after sunrise (or whatever predefined delay time set in config.txt for "autonightmodedelay=00:30").

I am glad to see you constantly improving your application and I know that community feedback can be important. :)

Thanks again deniska and in7ane for MapThis! and GMDL tools.

ps please let me know if I should post this to the discussion forums instead, or if this is ok.

[Ursus]

Ursus, ry0san, have you unzipped the GMDL archive, and do you definitely have sounds.txt in the same directory as the exe?

I found out the problem in7ane, I opened the exe under the folder "obj" and the direction prompt all came out as "0" which does not have a corresponding message with it. However when I ran the exe under the "bin" folder (w/ the sounds.txt folder, thanks for making this clear) it works perfectly. :thumbup:

[Erikih]

Cool. Thanks for everything deniska. The 3D mode is cool:thumbup: .

[taspankya]

this is the most stable release of mapthis! i have ever used. i tested it all day and am very impressed, and love the 3D and inverted color views. :thumbup: well worth the wait.

[Ninja_NZ]

Anyone know a site to get more GPS sounds?

I'm mainly after "Keep Straight".

[hiddensphinx]

what does PSP290 SAT.AQUISITION do?

what does the value 0,1,2 exactly mean?

By the way...great work!

[deniska]

Anyone know a site to get more GPS sounds?

I'm mainly after "Keep Straight".
You can use either:
www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
or
http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/demos/

then convert it to mp3 @128kbps 44hz with any free wav editor (some are available online)

what does PSP290 SAT.AQUISITION do?

what does the value 0,1,2 exactly mean?
Satellite aquisition algorithm for psp-290
0 - cold start
1 - warm start
2 - hot start

use the warm start if you had the fix before and did not move far from previous fix location.

[defvayne]

Did you create the directions with the latest version of gmdl? (you may need to re-download it...)
the previous version had the voice prompts sampled in 56kbps.. Mapthis needs 128 kbps samples...
So make sure you link to samples in system/sounds directory..
I did what you said. I re did my POI's and the sounds still play to fast. Do i have to re-DL the whole map?

[hiddensphinx]

Awesome work deniska!

So i got your message about "warm start"

what about "hot start" and "cold start"

"hot start" seems to work best for me so far

[NetMan]

Hi deniska,

Great work as always! Congratulations on your job!

Question: What mean all the options of Enable DMS Display?

Requests / Bugs

1 - The time display is in GMT time, never the time of XMB, or other
1.1. Think you could re-enable the timezone OPTION on config.

2- There are no Numbers in the edit of configuration file (under psp) and delete only delete at place, no delete back.

3- The fixation of the GPS is great, but now a little bit jumpy on the drive, and sometimes a little bit of track (10-25mt).

My config is as follow: (GPS-290)

defvayne, Try replacing the old sounds with the new sounds from Mapthis 0.5 in your map folder.

Well that fixed it for me anyway.

And thanks for the links Deniska, I'll check it out now.

And thanks for the links Deniska, I'll check it out now.Ninja i did that and it does the same thing. Another thing i noticed is that the map does not scroll smooth like it used to. But i will try to re-install the app to the PSP.

[stillmat1k]

i love this app...thank you Deniska..1 question though..I've been using mapthis for a while now, and I want to know if theres a way to input an address so that it will give you a route to follow saying turn right here, turn left here, you have arrived at your destination etc. Is there a way to put in an address or no? and aslo how do u make it so that it shows you where airports, gas stations, restaurants and things like that are...I used in7ane's map downlader thing to get my map and I checked the geodata thing but in the end its just the map. Help please :D oh and keep up the good work..I love it

there is no auto routing yet.. so you'll need to import a route, created with gmdl tool...

you also need create POIs like airports, gas, etc for the area that you are interested in.. gmdl has all required tools to do so...

[vera]

Thanks Deniska, MapThis! 0.5 is great; It has no problem.

[obieone]

i got a question it may sound stupid but whateveer.....does the sound works with the holux because when i plug in the wire it doesnt sound...

[peputinho]

great work... thanks a lot :thumbup:

[iwantanimac]

Hi deniska. Great update.

Any chance someone could rapidshare the updated GDML - i can't seem to access in7ane's site...

[Mystheryman]

i got a question it may sound stupid but whateveer.....does the sound works with the holux because when i plug in the wire it doesnt sound...

I don't know it exactly, because I'm using the PSP-290.
But it could be possible, because the psp can think that the headphone is plugged in.

[seumouman]

Hello All.

Hi, and respet to the Denis MASTER

I installed yesterday the V0.5 ...WONDERFULL !!!!

It's really nice, and more table than 0.499; i have no freeze and PSP shutdown with this version :)

BUT i have one question; about position.

We create POI to be informed about Inportant point as CAMERA (speed camera).
I inserted VOICE message (very nice option !!!!) issue it that message START when I M on IT !
TO late to slow speed ....

I set in config file alert ... 50pixel before impact...same result.

Also, some time i have red cercle around my position during 2 sec???

Can you help about that


BUTTTTTTT IT is very very very hard work that you did, when i try to create MAP, alert...PNG...it's so loooong and crazy, so i cant imagine to develop this tool; THANK YOU FOR ALL.

[MrEMan]

Which is the best GPS unit for this and probably any version into the future?
Holux M1000
PSP-290
Holux GPS Slim240
Other

I'm looking to buy but am still unsure.

Regards

[ry0san]

Hello,
I just want to know if I cant insert more than 400 POI for my way in this new mapthis ?

thx

[bastef]

To deniska
still no answer on how to use the LOAD WIFI MODULE?
how do you use it, how do you download map using wifi??

can I also play music from my music while using mapthis?????

[black_phoenix]

Hi!

Many many thanks to Deniska for this magnificent app!

Somehow, I could not get any signal on my 3.52 M33 whereas it works perfectly on my other on 3.40OE-A!

Could there be a problem with my FW?

All help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

[NetMan]

Hello to you All,

Need to know if is there any interest of the ADMIN of this site to create a Space for GPS MAPTHIS POI'S.

The idea is based of the lack of GEODATA for Europe.
In that space everybody can contribute with their created POI's for the country they live.

This space if possible could be created with a Major for each country and then a new thread for each city.
Inside a previews entry with the description and then the code for everybody copy/paste in their POI'S.

It seams probably complicate, but this is a simple idea, open for discussion and new Ideas. I think if there’s will it can benefit everybody and have maps more like the US with all kind of info, like Banks, ATM’s, Restaurants, Molls, Discotheques, etc.

Hope your comments.

Best Regards
;)

[deniska]

Hello,
I just want to know if I cant insert more than 400 POI for my way in this new mapthis ?

thx
yes, you can have up to 4000 waupoints..
the program will reload up to 400 closest waypoints every 10 minutes...

[deniska]

To deniska
still no answer on how to use the LOAD WIFI MODULE?
how do you use it, how do you download map using wifi??

can I also play music from my music while using mapthis?????
use irShell or mp3 plugin to play music
loadwifi only works in generic gps version...
search the forum for details

[Mystheryman]

@deniska, can i hear the voice prompts while using irshell or mp3plugin?
Want to know, before I try ;).

Because I have connected my PSP to Car Hifi with a cable to AUX.
And it isn't cool with out music in car ;)

btw.
PSP290 and MapThis are working very fine together.
In Germany we would say
"Weiter so"
;)

[JoQ]

I would very much want to have a guide how to setup the musicplugin thing with Map This!, I tried IRShell and it didnt work fine at all with Map This!, so if anyone has got the time to explain how to set up music plugin with Map This! it would be welcome :D

[dreetje9]

Deniska, congrats with version 5 of Mapthis, really really really awesome.

I'll try it tomorrow :D

[hanszero]

Thanks Deniska and everyone involved...I'm your big fan.

[PROMINATOR]

how do i make holux cable for psp??

[g4tidus]

Hi, I am running fw1.5 and I have been having problems with map this! v05 freezing within the first 2-8 minutes of running the application, mostly when I am zooming in. Also, after about 3-4 zooms MT just displays the "no map available at this zoom" tiles everywhere, which seems way to small of a zoom level

[bloodywing]

can not download map viewer 0.5

[Angkasa]

Thank you very much Deniska, Excellent job.
I want report bugs:
x button does not work when exit (pressed home to exit) from map this 5.0

[giks]

thank you very much deniska , this version works properly in france :)

[in7ane]

Ursus, didn't realize there was an exe there as well - thanks for picking that up (I'll put in a location check on startup).

[Mystheryman]

Voice prompts are sooo nice :)
At the moment I am creating some german voices.

[Bolemichel]

very nice job, deniska, mib42 and insane!

Just my 2 cents for further development: It would be nice if the maps zoom out when you drive faster and zoom in when the car stands or with lower speed. May be its possible to implement it in the config file like:

maxzoom: 6
speedlimit: 70 kmh

minzoom: 2
speedlimit: 30 kmh

middzoom: 4

like this ;)

@mystheryman:
Wäre schön, wenn du die mp3 files mal irgendwo hochladen könntest...

[Waltrock]

Hello folks!

First, I want to thank deniska, in7ane and the rest of the MapThis-Team! This Update is amazing!

As I heard you released MapThis 0.5, i directly installed it on my PSP and it seems to work very fine. Have no words for this great release!

I'll hope to have a quite longer trip in near future to test the new version in real conditions ;)

But two questions are left for me:

If I want to edit the Soundfiles, which ones do I have to replace? The ones in GMDL oder just the files in the system-folder on my PSP?

How is it about older maps? Do I have to redownload them?

@ all germans:

Ich habe die integrierten Sounds bereits umgewandelt. Sind noch ein wenig leise, werde sie daher wohl noch ein wenig lauter machen müssen.

Wer Interesse an den Sounds hat, kann mir eine PN schreiben, dann versende ich die weiter. Ist übrigens eine männliche Stimme. Lass mir nicht so gern Anweisungen von einer Frau geben ;)

just replace the files on psp..
if you adding new prompts or changing the order of prompts, make sure that suonds.txt file if updated in gmdl..
old maps should work just fine...

[shaunsational]

i noticed a bug in the cpu switcher... when you use the icon from the menu where it only does 222/333mhz... when you switch it and view the speed on the gps info screen it says 89mhz.

is it possible to get driving directions from within the app? im going to DC soon and i would like to be able to use that because i have no idea where to go there.

also does anyone have a place to get maps from/post maps to? ive been working on generating a few and i was wondering if there was a place they could be hosted for people to download rather than making their own (it was a bit complicated for me at first).

[Waltrock]

Thanks Deniska! I'll give it a try!

It's not a bug, it's a feature ;)

deniska seperated the CPU-Frequencies, so in the GPS-Info-Screen you get faster fixes!

No, generating directions on the PSP is not possible. We should stick this on the top of every topic :D

You will get problems with the copyrights of google, if you upload such maps. So everybody has to generate his own maps.

[dlharp2]

Does Mapthis support .loc files for geocaching etc?

[dlharp2]

btw Deniska and all those involved with this project, great application!

Great Deniska,now i got the gps290 rom japan and i test your nice software.But I´m so happy.It works great.Now i can make the languagepacks ready ;)


Good works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry for my english
i need the sounds of mapthis in spanish. i need help, please

[Codaz]

Deniska, had my first road trip with 0.5 (and my psp-290 as always) today. Newly 3.52 prx files (extracted myself). My hopes were VERY high because of this new version with new features.

But i'm shocked of gps performance. It's way down than 04.99 !!

As you know i'm a very advanced user but i don't understand this:

The psp-290 dropped it's signal almost every minute while in 3d mode :o ??

After a while the signal didn't even came back ! Rebooting the psp helped, but it took almost 5 minutes to lock then again.

Also, when the sats are locked, the arrow on the screen dances like Elvis in the fifties on the screen, what is happening ?

North up mode helped a bit but wow i didn't expect this bad performance at all.

I might consider going back to 04.99 as everything was fine there !!

Is it my setup or am i having a bad GPS day ? Because it was beautifull weather, almost no clouds at all and my 290 locked in at 1:56 min on 4 sats at once (20 mhz).

Also i saw now noticable differences between 333 mhz and 222 mhz. 222 is much more keeping the signal in driving conditions.

But the 3d mode needs 333 mhz i think, because it has to render the images.

Also the missing tiles rendering was making my psp-290 totally loose control. It says my car was flying over the road ??

Hope you have answers for this, what did you do on :

-Sat fixing and keeping fix code ?
-CPU memory using ?

[jensy]

Great work deniska, very happy with the program.

To anyone unsure of what GPS to get, I own the PSP-290, and it is fantastic, doesn't even take that long to lock on, works great with this software.

Thanks again, Deniska.

[Sullivan]

hey deniska, do you plan on making it so map this calculates the routes via the psp? also what voices are needed (ie): turn right. and can some one make step by step directions on how to make directions using gmdl?

[Waltrock]

hmm...complete different experience here.

I tried it out yesterday night to test the new nightmode (it's really excellent!). I saw so mich satellites than never before in my town! Perhaps I got a good GPS-day, but the sky was very cloudy....

I'll take my GPS to work to test it again, but I think it has become better than ever before.

Furthermore: No crashes yet!

Ah, before I forget that: German voice-prompts are ready and work really really fine. Another User of this forum will test them before I want to post the files here. PNs are welcome...

[Bolemichel]

Good Morning ;)

first thank you for the files, Waltrock. I will test them after work and will report.

Yesterday I had some curious issues with "WIFI MAP UPLOAD":
Wifi connection worked fine, tested it in the xmb menue and wifi switch was on. In my first attempt mapthis tried to get some connect within 20 times. After that I tried it again and psp crashed and switched completly off...
I think it depends on some memory leakage or?

[Bolemichel]

I saw so mich satellites than never before in my town!

never seen any possibility to select your satellite on your own. I turn on my holux and the nearest satellite he find will be choosen. Hmm, is there any chance to select your satellite individually?

[specialist83]

juz a quick question for GPS-290 fellow users: anyone tried lowering the satinfofrequency to a lower value so that we can get an even better reception?

deniska is this 90mhz the tested and proven best speed for this GPS-290 unit? juz curious...

and oso if u dun mind me asking, u did explained what is warm start on page 9...but how abt cold n hot? juz hoping to get more info on configs so that fixing of sat will be optimized...thx in advance..!

[Waltrock]

never seen any possibility to select your satellite on your own. I turn on my holux and the nearest satellite he find will be choosen. Hmm, is there any chance to select your satellite individually?

You misunderstood...

I see the satellites in the Sat-Info-Screen. I don't choose them ;)

This morning i have had the same view as before. I think there are more satellites at night over my head ;). But I cannot confirm that the fix needs much longer with the new version!



deniska is this 90mhz the tested and proven best speed for this GPS-290 unit? juz curious...


The unit has problems with the electrical field the processor of the PSP generates. So if you slow down the CPU the field max disappear and you see more satellites and get earlier fixes. Because of this the CPU-Speed is just 90mhz in the Sat-Info-Screen. If you change to the mapview, you have the speed that you set in the menu (222mhz or 333mhz)

[specialist83]

thx for the reply waltrock...but all tat u've replied i already know abt them -> the lower the field...the faster it fixes...

but my question is actually asking -> is 90mhz a tested n proven best setting (fastest fix on, least possible chance of mapthis freezing, most stable cpu speed) for GPS-290 or is it possible that there might be an even lower frequency (which hasn't been tested yet) which might make it work even better...

[Codaz]

You can set:

SATINFOFREQUENCY to 20 mhz

This is the lowest value possible.

20 mhz will give a few seconds faster fix then 90 mhz.

Sometimes, sometimes not :D

[dartpsp]

deniska - Thanks for the update! Also thank you for the Geodata "work around"

[secretagentman811]

I am having some trouble extracting the contents- I get an "unexpected end of file" error. Any suggestions?
Thanks

[Ixar]

Wonderful work !

For me it works perfectly with the 5.0 with my Holux GPS. For information I could not get the GPS to fix with previous versions... now it just works !

The interface is great. Congratulations ;)

Regarding the maps, I am still annoyed with gmdl as I do not have windows, I am looking at the code to see if I could make some script to get the maps directly from the websites.

Ixar

PS: By the way thanks for hex-a-hop as well, I spent my holidays on it ;)

[nuclear_j]

Great Work Deniska! I always wanted to play music while using this and now I can! Thanks so much for your time and effort.

[flag74]

lol everybody here are happy with their gps receiver..except me :(
I bought the PsP290 three months ago and I still can't get fixed any satellite. (10 min waiting)

cf340
usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx extracted by myself from original sony 340fw, with the program.
wifi off
no umd
gps speed lowered

What should I do?Does exists any tool to debug gps signal?I heard about usb fix tool...does it matter?advices?

crying.....wasted my money..

how can i make the POIs i dled show up on the map all at the same time?? like all the categories...some of the food POIs does not show up...only starbucks...
just merge them in to one file.
make sure each diferent chunk is preseded with icin definition:
!IMAGE:food.png,
(example for restaurants)
make sure that the image with same name is present in either map's directory or ../system/icons/ directory

[Ixar]

Hello,

I have had a look at the coordinate translation code, and I would love some explanation ;)

In fact I am writing a small script to generate maps (in python) to be able to generate my own maps on linux... At the moment I use google as map source, and I implemented the map image retrieval.
For this to work, I used a mercator projection that seems to match perfectly google projection. (Note that it is not the UTM).

At that point I need to write the GPSFS, and I read the code treating the coords.txt to interpolate the coordinates. This code does not seems to consider the mercator projection.

Is the goal to simplify the computation to go faster ? Or did I miss something ?

Thanks for your help.
Ixar

[deniska]

Codaz and everyone else asking,
I just want to make it clear, since people keep bringing up PSP-290 satellite fixing topic.
There was nothing done in 0.5 (other than playing with PSP clock frequencies) to improve the reception of the psp-290 unit...
I doubt that the reception can be improved programatically...

BTW, weather has much less impact on the reception than, for example, solar activity...
So having a sunny day - does not guarantee a good reception..but having a good receiver usually helps it ;-)

what code are your lloking at (gmdl/mapThis)?
Can you specify a function name?
If it is gmdl question - put it in gmdl thread..
Overwise, use development thread in discussion forum.

I am looking at MapThis source code, especialy main.c functions getLatLong getTileCoord and getXY. But after looking at gmdl, it seems gmdl code is similar.

I have strange results using these functions, I have recoded them from the mercator projection definition found on wikipedia and the results seems more consistants at least if I check with google maps.

Haven't you noticed a deviation of the GPS while going near the pole (south or north) ?

The getLatLong function can be simplified to avoid calling several trigonometric functions.

I am trying to build mapthis localy and if it work as expected I will post a patch.

Regards,
Ixar

PS: Sorry I did not find the develoment forum related to mapthis.
EDIT: Finally I found the development thread. I will post in it from now on.

i made a cable for my psp to leatek (mini usb <--> mini usb) but it does'nt do a thing

i would use my remote controll if someone could give me howto on the wiring (I'm a electricien so don't worry) i mean audio(serial) --> to mini usb

I using MapThis 0.5 and GMDL0.5b to download satellie Map.
It can play on Mapthis0.5.
The difficult thing is GMDL0.5b is always error.
The solution is reconnect with different IP.:thumbup:

I could not find any info on the serial wired interface.. if you have any detailed specks or wiring diagrams it may clear up the things...
You obviously cannot use PSP[s usb socket for this...

btw, yesterday I've done the hint from mr7 to cut off the tip of the audio plug.

the only thing is that the mp3 files are too low... they should be louder

[Waltrock]

I don't think it's the loudness of the mp3-files. I think the speakers of the PSP are quite.... shit.

I buied a radio with audio-cable plugin, so the sound of my PSP comes out of my carboxes. It's quite nice :)

[shaunsational]

I'm having problems with the new version... i have 3.40 OE-A with a PSP-290. i got the usbacc.prx & usbgps.prx files from going to recovery mode and copying them from the flash0/kn folder and put them into the ms0:/psp/game/mapviewer folder (with the eboot) but everytime it starts up it is still saying it cannot load the usbacc.prx file and that GPS will be disabled.

ive been all over the net trying to figure it out i got the id storage repair thing but i dont have a ta-82 board so it wouldnt run


also in recovery mode, i have the kernel set to 3.40 and the game340 folder in psp wont list anything so i have the app in the game folder

[Mystheryman]

@shaun try the prx's from another firmware version.
Also try to use 3.52 M33 Firmware.

I've had some trouble with 3.40 OE-A too.

you may have trimmed too much off the end, take an x-acto knife and try to scrape some of the plastic around the base of the headphone jack, don't remove too much because you can make it loose. same thing happened with mine, but after "lengthening" the jack again by trimming the plastic housing around the bottom, the psp was able to recognize the gps signals again.

hmm.. i cut on the first insulator. is tat too much? or shld i just be cutting the "mushroom head"

[califrag]

yup you cut too much, you just wanna cut starting right at the bottom of the "mushroom head" or what I like to call the "tapered tip". you want to have about two millimeters of contact left after the second insulator.

hi this is the second plug i tried cutting.. tats exactly 2mm but its still not working. :(

and if i din cut till this point, i wun get any sound at all.. anyway my psp is TA-082 does it make a diff?

[deniska]

which firmware do you run?

[cydus21]

3.03 OE-B

i'm sorry deniska.. but has the software gotta do with it? isn't it a mechanical thing?

[deniska]

certain things are required in order to activate serial port.. they can be firmware related...

[califrag]

that's wierd it looks like it should be cut right... mine only has about 1mm on the end, but 1-2mm is ok from what I've heard. It must be something to do with the firmware then maybe.

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/871/0000009fh5.jpg

this is working fine for me.

[cydus21]

wat are the firmware u guys using? 3.40?

edit
hi guys i updated my firmware to 3.40 OE-A still a no go.. so maybe its the TA-082 hardware setup?? i was thinking of wiring one of the ext speaker directly to the audio plug. u think it will work?

[califrag]

not sure if that will work or not. i am using 3.52 M33-4

[sl1pkn07]

please. update localization.txt for traslation new menus

thanks

[cydus21]

not sure if that will work or not. i am using 3.52 M33-4

i updated to ur firmware and its still a no go. think its a mother board thing.. any ta-082 guys have tried it and works???

i can't take a screenshot in mapthis v0.5? after i press the screenshot button, i can't find the picture

[Mystheryman]

look in the PICTURE Folder of your PSP.
If the Screenshot isn't there, then look your mapthis and mapthis/system folder.

EDIT:
@deniska in next release ... is there any possibility to assign a "hotkey" to switch between Nightmode and Normalmode?
Because pressing the Right trigger - waiting - pressing - waiting ...

[rollinolin]

I cant take screenshots either. I have looked in both folders and its not there.
I am running 3.52 m33-4 and Mapthis v.5

I can get to night mode by hitting the D-pad -> button that changes from north trac, track up and 3-
D mode. after it goes through once in normal color the next time north up comes up it automaticaly goes to night mode without me having to do anything in the config.
Can someone help with screenshots?

[waichai]

@Mystheryman

i look at everywhere, but still can't find it. i can take screenshot with mapthis 0.499 not 0.5.

[lavino]

hi all:

I have been going thru the last 10+ pages try to find an answer but so far no luck. I hope someone can help me solve this problem. Please email me privately if you have the answer. Many many thx.

condition:

1. I got a PSP (originally 1.50 then upgraded to m33 3.52-4).

2. I got a PSP290. I don't think there is a diff where I got it.. it is from eBay from a US address. Is there a Japanese or European version diff? (which leads to my questions at the bottom)

3. mapthis is 0.5 (1 yr anv edition).

4. both usbxxx.prx are copied from the firmware's recover dump.

5. I can load up the mapthis no problem. Didn't get any problem reporting the 2 prx don't work. I can browse the map and etc.

6.PSP290 seems to work too (5 min or so I will get 3+ satellite if it is sunny weather)

problem:

Latitude seems correct. But longtitude seems to be a problem. I live in Vancouver BC Canada. It is also kinda close to Seattle in the US. According to the map I made plus additional google map search. Lat/Lon for Vancouver is around 49.xxx w123.xxx etc (not 100% precise but around there). This is what I see on the mapthis software when I move the cursor. Now the GPSInfo screen gives me a completely different format for lat/lon. I checked the reading on the GSPInfo screen (blue text screen) it gives me a lat of 49.xxxx (ok) but lon is 30x.xxx (it is a 300 something number with no west or east). Therefore if I turn on GPS mode I will constantly get an error popup on the screen saying the location is out of range even I am currently pointing at my home's location on the map.


Theory:

1. I thought 30x means it is within a range or 360 (degrees). So if I subtract 180 (half of the circle assuming that it means east or west then I will get the right value). At first it sounds ok but then I found out it is always off by a number of 3. 3 degrees on the map is a huge distance so my assumption is not quite correct I guess.

2. The coord I get seems constant so it is not giving me a random values. And it changes if I am in a diff location.

3. Is there some configuration I missed? Everything on the config on mapthis is default.. I am afraid messing them up will screw up something. Or the map need to be created differenly? I use google map with GMDL0.51

4. What's the values of everyone's unit displaying? I once saw a screen shot of the GPS info screen and the screen was green (not blue) and it was showing the lon as west xxxx.xxx so it is definitely different from mine.

5. I am running out of assumption ... except that my PSP is haunted? ;) Besides the wrong lon reading everything seems to be working...

Please help... pls pls pls :(

i'm from toronto and i had the same problem before with longitude. i used the prx from my recovery but it didn't work. Try using a different prx it worked on mine

@lavino,

This has been covered many times... - older (below 3.03) usbgps.prx version has a bug which makes it unusable in western hemisphere.. (the thing was only intended for Japan)

Could you do this with a Seat Cordoba 6k in Red Color?
Then I will be your biggest fan ^^

[tinkong]

HY Deniska. Your Map- App. is really great, but needs a lot of memory. So i had an Idea how to solve this Problem: Couldn't you write a Program that generates "vector-data" instead of image files? Perhaps you could use googlemap's routes-generating function and implement it into a new programm that generates different routes from a selectet area and writes the vectordata in a special output-file... I'm sure that vectordata could be the key to a faster and better "psp-homebrew-gps future :D " ... the biggest problem is that it would be a huge work and this needs a lot of time (if it is technically possible)... btw.: anyway, thank you for the great gps application!!! :thumbup: I hope, you or some other psp-gps enthusiasts will take care of this vectorproblem in future !! :D

[lavino]

@lavino,

Thank you everyone for your input. Humm I think I solved the problem by grabbing a download link from this site that has the prx (it was quite a long search for prx files). What's weird was that the original prx I got was 3.52 yet they don't work so I guess the firmware update for my m33 is probably a japanese one.

Anyway, thx a million, and I got mine working. Now I need to learn how to use GMDL properly...

[lavino]

Oh got another question... why the PSP290_TEST program crashed me out to the menu when I run it? Mapthis works and etc and I copied the camprx folder to the root of the MS and the 2 prx files next to the EBOOT.PBP. I could take a peek at the green screen then it automatically kicked me out. Not that important because now I got the mapthis fully working with the PSP290 anyway but curious to know.

[deniska]

I don't know if you copied camprx folder in to the root of your memory stick.. if you did and it did not work - perhaps the provided prx files are incompatible with your current firmware version...

hello map this .5 was working great then out of no where it just stoped when i start it up it says "loading usb accessory module" and thats it and then restarts my psp ive deleted it and reinstaled it can anyone help

[0o0o0o]

very good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crater]

As of the latest CFW release, 3.71, Mapthis no longer works.

Time to downgrade as Mapthis > CFW features.

EDIT: It no longer can load the 2 GPS prxs that is. It can still load and read maps.

EDIT2: This is the PSP-290 Version, not sure about the Generic.

[deniska]

use 3.0 fw prx files for M 33 3.60 -3.71 - it works..
I'll try to code around this "extra-prx" non-sence" in the next update...

[BeeJAy]

Just to let you guys know, i came across this as well using M33 3.71 with my fat PSP, however when I ran Nieko's code found here: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=513488&postcount=368
It was able to then load up properly, I only did a small test but I was able to use the PSP-290 fine during that time.

Hi every one I just test Niekos Moded Mapthis! and it works great the prx files are loaded from CFW and the GPS works, indeed I didn't see diferences in PSP290 fix in satelite but the prx are no longer necesaries Maybe Deniska could include some of the modifications in next releases tnx Deniska Mapthis! is a great PSP homebrew

[deniska]

it's going to be a part of the next release..
in fact, I already coded Nieko's "prx change in"
Still I'd like to do more testing and add more stuff before I make it official.........
so stay tuned..

[Nieko]

What do you need that many PSPs for? :)

[PDG]

What do you need that many PSPs for? :)

Well heres the short version :)
First one was for me! that one runs 3.52 M33-4

Second one was for my Girlfriend so she wouldnt hog mine and to experiment firmwares on. Secretly updated to 3.52 M33-4 from 3.03 OE-C *Shhh dont tell my G.F. :D

Third was because my Gf was pissed off when i took hers and flashed it :) That one was running 3.52 M33-4 untill i dropped it and cracked the display, im looking for a used cheap display for it so i can play with MapThis more roughly in my car or outdoors.

Fourth was because none of my Old PSPs had a Ta-082 Mobo and users complained about MapThis not running on their Ta boards so i had to Verify this. *Works like a charm but when used with a Holux you cant cut of teh Tip to enable sound via internal speakers, the Holux goes offline.

Fifth is a Slim running 3.71 M33 and PSP-290 with MapThis v0.5 and decrypted .prx from 3.71 Fw :)
Im trying to order a remotecable so i can test hooking up my Holux with it but i havent found any resellers.

I think you get the idea :) Yes im a collector and i try helping out as mouch i can when i engage a project as exiting as this :)

[BouncE]

hm..iiex oso hav some psp..iiex got 2 slim and 3 nomal psp.. my slim is 3.71 m33 but iiex not sure how to get the prx file.. dose anyone hav ty alot

[BouncE]

ok so for map this, do i want to keep the 1x, 2x zooms or the 512x zooms? which is the closest? i assume the 512x would be closer but i would also think it would use more memory, but when i uncheck the 1x and 2x zooms the map size shrinks drastically.

so the zoom is zooming out not in?

[Nieko]

Zoom 0 = lots of detail, streets, etc.
Zoom 16 = the entire world, continents, etc.

In GMDL/GPSFS, the lowest level is called 1, the highest is 2 ^ (highest zoom-lowest zoom). So if you have zoom levels 3 through 8, you'll get 1,2,4,8,16,32.

[PDG]

hm..iiex oso hav some psp..iiex got 2 slim and 3 nomal psp.. my slim is 3.71 m33 but iiex not sure how to get the prx file.. dose anyone hav ty alot

[PureEstonian]

Try changing your map source, if you use Google Map, then try Microsoft Virtual Earth Maps or visa versa, because sometimes the map coordinates lie in some places.

OffTopic: What does iiex and miiex mean? :)

[kohht]

PureEstonian~~
iiex = i
miiex = me

^^ iiex aways use tis word hm..by the way itis dose google map lie in some place but not other?

[gnosis3d]

I used mapThis! a while back, but without the GPS attachment. Now I am debating buy a GPS or just getting the attachment for the PSP.

I see a lot of features but there isn't a lot of discussion... I am wondering...

Is there trip routing involved in this, or is it just tracking information and POIs?

[PureEstonian]

kohht if understand you question right...yes Google map may lie in some places, but in some places not (even if they are 1km away from each other)

[minhan]

really great tnx to Deniska, Nieko (for the Dutch Geodata wich I searched for like 2 full days) and ofcourse in7ane, I love mapth!s, Just bought the gps290 and it works like a charm.

I have a couple of questions though and some ideas

first idea, could save the marker so you can drive with the red line...(or is that already possible? if it is consider this idea been written)

and the questions

why does it take so long to fix the satelites and how come it takes so long to get the GPS function working? I live in the Netherlands and I saw on youtube some guy in tjechie or something like that(europe) he got his fixed like within 30 seconds and working too...

[Nieko]

minhan: you can simply turn on the marker and it will keep updating the red line from that point to the point you are using GPS. If you want the line to be segmented (basically indicating where you have been), you can use the version I made some changes to: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=54109&page=37#368.

As for the time it takes to get a fix, it strongly depends on which GPS device you're using and when you last used it. "Cold boot" for the PSP-290 may take up to 5 minutes, with an extension cable it sometimes goes down to 40 seconds, but if you've had a fix 5 minutes earlier it'll be even less than that.

[minhan]

ah ok tnx, I will try it the next time :) tnx for ur help


Edit: BTW Nieko, where do you come from? I'm from Brabant Etten-leur do you know it?

and btw, the recording doesn't work, do you maybe know why? I have the FW 3.51-4 M33 and the PSP GPS-290

Edit.... again... lol sorry about the editing but now it does work, so tnx alot !

[kamatschka]

Hi...


I was wondering that from one day to another the communication between the PSP and the Holux wouldnt work... Its kinda weird.. I cutted, on the purpose to get the Sound working , the last pole on the AudioPlug, first it worked flawelessly but after 2 weeks there is no communication between the Holux and the PSP(MapThis) ...


So my question is.... have I cutted the GND of the cable when i cutted the last Pin to get the sound working?! ... I really dont know why the problem appeared ... it worked also with the cutted pin flawelessly but now I have an apprehension...


can someone help me?!


thanks in advance




EDIT:

I localized the failure... for some reason there was no connection between the Holux and the PSP GND.....

So.... greetz kamatschka ;-)

I re-uploaded the file (the archive seemed to be corrupted due to recent server crash)
Make sure you have custom firmware installed on your psp before attempting to run the program.

[crazyxerz]

what custom firmware???....3.10 OE....isnt it a custom firmware???

[Nieko]

It is. OE = Open Edition. Using the PSP-290 you should have 3.03 OE or higher (M33'll also do of course).

Hi,

I'm quite new to this and have been trawling through the threads ,but I can't find an answer to my problem.

I'm using version 3.52 M33, MapThis v05 and Holux slim 296.

I've managed to get the GPS to work, but when I go into the Select Action screen it's just blank. I try pressing a few buttons and an option might appear but I can't see any options to select, it's all very hit and miss. I think that the options are there on the screen but I just can't see them.

Anyone any ideas.

Cheers

You may be missing a few PNG files, try downloading Map This! again and see if you are.

Perhaps http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_This! is also of use.

[Benny28]

Spot on - I downloaded your version and it now works a treat.

Thanks for you help

hey there. i'm using MapThis! for geocaching and was wondering if the lon/lat coordinates in "GPS Information" mode can also be displayed in the configured DMS-format (e.g. I would need the DD°MM.mmmm' format).
thanks :)

Set
DMS=1

although, you'll only see DD°MM.mmm
