PSP-290 picks up signal same as Holux-240

[waichai]

i bought Holux 240 because my psp-290 picks up signal so slow. after using holux 240 for while, then go back to my psp-290 again. until today, i mess around the usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx. PSP-290 picks up signal and sat lock in less than a minute. i got around 8 sats lock, and it never happen to me before. Here is my setting for mapthis .501
CPU speed 39mhz on GPS Info
2.71 usbacc.prx
3.30 usbgps.prx
Custom Firmware: 3.52M-4

Look at that streets, it's like a maze :)

Good that it works for you !

do the prx files affect how fast you can obtain a lock? when im driving i never get a lock, i have to be standing outside my house and wait 5 mins :/

im using 3.52m33-4 and the 3.52 prx files on my 290

Pretty much same as Kupo24z i have to be standing for a quite a while before i get a good lock.

is there a way you can upload your prx files so i can just overwrite what i have?

I have the same files as the OP - 2.71 usbacc.prx and 3.30 usbgps.prx, 3.52 M33-4 and the PSP-290. It picks up satellites after a minute or so but doesn't lock on till 3 to 6 minutes after. I guess it really depends on where you are and how many satellites are in the area?

Hey man same, i am from Toronto
Uptown, i had to drive all the way 15mins away for my home for it to start getting a lock on lol, Do you know if extending the gps away from the psp will make it lock on faster? if not ah wellz.. =) a nice 60 dollar toy hehe..

In Sunny Sweden we have tons of junk flying in space called Sats that gives us almost 17-22 sats on MapThis, i got a Holux M1000 unit too and it locks on mouch faster, but when i attatched a Extentioncable for the PSP-290 unit it locks on even faster than when its mounted on the PSP because it gets away from the PSP unit a bit ;) about 1½ meters *Lol* :thumbup:

could be a keycleaner thingie or a psp not running MapThis v0.5 on a PSP running at least 3.52 m33-4 with self extracted .prx files :)

Ive upped my tuts with new info :)

i figured out what the problem was. the thing is i just updated from 3.40 OE-A and forgot to change the 340 folder to 352. the gps works now but i still have problem when i put in the 3.30 usbgps.prx. im currently using 3.42 usbgps.prx with 2.71 usbcss.prx. somtimes it have good connection sometimes it sucks.
thanks for the help though.
