Go!Explorer Now Out For Euro

[eminded]

we need to getthis in the usa.. i installed and it works.. gets the signal pretty fast.. but no data for usa.. thisi s a very powerful app used to auto calulate routes.. it has every poi bult in from resturants to gas stations alll around the area... it will auto calualte routes while u are driving..... so maybe you guys can hack a usa map into it..?

[maksidaa]

a usa hack would be great! i really hope sony releases the u.s. version soon or someone leaks a hack or something.

[the_troll]

Anyone know where I can download go!explore?? Thanks in advance.

[Nieko]

I think it's time for you people to read the forum rules (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/announcement.php?f=170&a=4) again.

[markata]

Nieko could I ask whether this is gonna work with holux receivers or not. If it doesn't is someone gonna make it work ?

[Sinistar]

Yeah you think they would make USA down loadable maps for it.. what if one if these European people who buy this decides to travel abroad and bring their PSP??

[Nieko]

I don't think Go!Explore will support any GPS devices other than the PSP-290. A hack would then have to fool the PSP into thinking a Holux device, e.g., is actually the PSP-290 through USB. No idea if this can be done.


I also don't think there'll be US maps any time soon. The US has always had everything before Europe (all PlayStation consoles e.g., and lots of games too), now for once it's the other way around, and tough luck for you :).

Where did you get it from ?
I havent heard anything here in Sweden about it being released yet.

[Nieko]

It's not officially released, but someone leaked an early version. That's why I pointed to the forum rules.

[AdamRav]

Its a early leaked version

with a few things that could get updated

like street names and house numbers

[eminded]

yea the usa verison i bet isnt gona come oput till ike 4th quater 2008 or srping 2009.. witch sucks but i guess we might need the 16gb chip for all the usa maps.. cuz usa is furaking huge and has alot of data... yea this program prolly needs a litte tweaking but it goes to show thathe technology is there for auto calculating routes. no more getroute things that recuire wifi u jsut type it in on the go and it takes u were ever u need to go.. its more than jsut a gps mpa viewr its a fully fuctional navigation system. with 1000's of pois bult and ordered correctly in

[Codaz]

Nieko and i tested this baby for a long time.

Off course i won't tell you where to get it, because of the forum rules.

If you want it, maybe friend google has it.

Ontopic:

It can in fact work with the holux, yes.

If you supply the bautrate, etc etc it can work.

You should make a gps setup then.

Maybe Deniska can do this, although i think not, because he likes his own program better dan $ony stuff :)

The Go!Explore is just an pocketpc port to psp of igo 2006 (miomap 3.2) with some updated maps.

The maps are in .FBL format, BUT cannot be added to the "game". They won't be recognized, and any modification to the maps present in the leak (UK & Ireland) chrashes the psp.

Config files can be edited easily, if you want new themes and new poi's in the "game".

Since i don't have a Holux receiver AND since the program chrashes on any modifications to the file is doesn't seem to be that any mod is coming soon, atleast by me.

Unles you go play with the software yourself offcourse.

[JoQ]

I'm trying it right now actually, trying to get satellites. One thing i've got to fix is to be able to play MP3 at the same time as i use this program, is it possible?

I live in sweden so i dont got any use for this right now, just testing, when is the real release coming, to Sweden for example. I only can find "early spring", isnt there a date?

[Codaz]

I'm trying it right now actually, trying to get satellites. One thing i've got to fix is to be able to play MP3 at the same time as i use this program, is it possible?

Can be done easily by having music prx 0.50.

Search for it on pspupdates.qj.net.

[spychacz84]

one think! Maybe i am wrong but Deniska was the firts person who made GPS 4 PSP software. This soft is so good than i can't belive than only one person made it ( i mean mapthis of course!) I think mapthis is a very good alternative 4 go!explore - at least for coupple next years! I made mountain maps of my region /google terrain/. But it would be wounderfoul if hollux would work somehow with go!explore as well. I am from poland and for me spenting another 40 POUNDS for GPS from sony is a little bit to much :/

[eminded]

hmm maybe someone can getteh maps and street data from igo 2006 miomap 3.2 and import it into this program.. i am still gona use mapthis for sat imagery and camping ..etc.. but that woudl be sweet to intigrate usa maps and streets and places in goexplorer.. someone can do it i hope.

[mscarceller]

somebody know how to add spain's map?

[JoQ]

mscarceller, the version thats out is as stated before a leaked one, early version with ONLY England/Ireland, when it is publically released you will get your maps!

Question is when the releasedate is!

[Codaz]

Ok i did some groundbreaking work on this baby today.

The only protection Sony build in to prevent you to load additional maps is

L_0.lic

A licencse file. In that encrypted license file are the maps that can be loaded.

[JoQ]

That's nice, does that mean that we can put out own maps for the rest of Europe (not england, ireland) without waiting for the release?

Is it possible to get hold of the maps?

[PDG]

Sounds like that or a step for a licence number generator application :D

how can we help you to desencript this file. i'm very interested about this to use spain maps.
thanks

[maverick8519]

Just for everyone's interest and not sure if anyone has done this but if you get a lock on the satellites and then go to explore for me in Australia it actually pinpoints where i live in australia only that the whole of australia is black with no details of streets or anything just black so maybe if there's some way to add the maps to the overlay or something to give us the streets?

Of course this is a speculations but there is potential to hack this software to include our maps

[maverick8519]

I'm not sure if this is allowed in this forum but if its not approiate please delete this.

Anyway i was thinking in theory i was searching in google and found that there is these licence files that can be downloaded which allows the use of other maps i wonder if you replace a licence file and import the maps to the program and run it will it work?

[maverick8519]

where do you read this? please add some link.

Hi mscarceller unfortunately i didn't read it anywhere it was a theory that i developed but it didn''t go well because i manage to download the licence file from mio map but the licence file itself extension is a .db file not a .lic so i don't think there is a way but to hack the .lic to make other maps work. Otherwise we just have to wait til the ps store releases out downloadable maps :P

[PDG]

Nice to see the Go!Explore had support for diffrent languages upon installation :D

Sad to say i havent tested it because i live in Sweden and not in London/ireland but hey, its a start :D

[spychacz84]

It would be great! I know there is easy to ask for that, but hard to made. But may someone try :) Maybe connecting oryginal usb hollux cable into small usb by some kind of connector and modyfying prx ??

Anyway You'r right! it's better to wait for final release :)
After that we will be sure than everything is allright - for me will be time for cut out jack :)

[eminded]

well this lic. file are we sure that the maps and street data (E.g. places, names of buildings, names of streets). cuz the acual map file is only a 1 pic as a background.. the names of streets and there locations are programed into it, not into the map.. so in other words the map has no steet names on it.. maybe its somthign called vector map or somthing.... i hope somone pulls off a custom map/street/data file for stats of the usa.. maybe that geodata.dat file might come in use.. btw this program runs at 222mhz and the maps freaking load mad fast i lvoe it.. i wont get lost if i go to london i guess..

[Nieko]

Once again, see rule 1 of the forum rules (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/announcement.php?f=170&a=4) and also Sony forum rules (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/announcement.php?f=199&a=7), which I think apply here. Discussing features of an upcoming product is fine, but no warez, hacking, etc. of Go!Explore.

Further such posts will be deleted or the topic will be closed.

[JoQ]

For a non hacking or warez question. The most important one. When is the releasedate for all over Europe?

That's what's interesting to me!

[fischauge]

I think there is no Date yet announced. You can preorder the german one on Amazon. They write the release date is the 26 march.

[fischauge]

I think this is not the right section for it :/

[spychacz84]

i've heared something about july in Poland - and my country is usually one of the last one in everything what sony making :) so before july it should be :) but - Go!Messenger should be in January 2008 so who knows :)

[mscarceller]

January, today is February 22nd, and it doesnt work yet!

[harryohh]

I'm from Ireland so i'll check it out and see if it's worth the €120 they want for it.

I already have the gps receiver.

[troy1229]

I am in Ireland as well, however, I do not think they will sale the Gps receiver and maps separatedly!! and you can find the psp Gps on new Agos book, it costs €199

[michael_dack_2005]

IMHO i think the thread title should be changed - i am totally against piracy as is most of the DCEmu community. It has not been released it has been leaked. Obviously the software should be discussed - as it could lead to changes in deniska's work.

On a different note i now own 2 PSP-290s, i was wondering if I could build a DIY cable to hook up both units to Mapthis, to increase coverage and signal strength. If not ill probably sell one unit.

[KING RICH]

on gomessenger, can you speak to your msn contacts?

[Nieko]

Why don't you try it out? And what does this have to do with Go!Explorer?

[mscarceller]

Someone have go!explore with maps of spain/portugal?

[AdamRav]

Someone have go!explore with maps of spain/portugal?

You will only get them on official release

which should be sometime in spring

[mscarceller]

sometime?

[michael_dack_2005]

No official release date yet, "Early 2008" is all we know

People have said that because the software has been leaked it is possible the official software will be out soon. (Press release maybe)

To Codaz

Hello
I think that port IGO2008 (IGO 8) since some files are very similar also maps in a mode 3D.
Or not?... I have started to research this theme..

[fischauge]

The official Releasdate for Germany is now the 26 March.

Hi ... Is it posible to use Garmin data with GO!Explorer or Mapthis?
How?

Thx

[Nieko]

Not with Map This! at least, see the wikibook also, and besides, that's probably illegal.

[demol]

It´s not illegal... I have all brazilian maps made for Garmin, but they are free for usage...

[Nieko]

Oh really? :) That's the first time I heard something like that. But then again, modifying Go!Explorer (which has yet to come out) to work with those maps is gray area at least, if not more. Too bad Map This! can't work with that vector data. Perhaps some day :).

[JoQ]

Release date is set to 26 march, tomorrow, here in Sweden. We'll see about that ;)
Hope i can test it sometime soon :D

[AdamRav]

So the latest dates are

Germany - 26th March
Sweden - 26th March

[mscarceller]

someone know the release date in spain?

[PDG]

Thats like tomorrow :thumbup:

[fischauge]

I`m so happy :thumbup:

[JoQ]

Thats like tomorrow :thumbup:
Yeah i know, but i'm not convinced that it's really going to be released tomorrow, maybe it's just a pre-date.

But we will see, its gonna pop up at the net.

According to Amaxon UK the Release Date is 25th April, although this may be incorrect.

[pointless211]

I saw on one site a post saying that there was somthing called iGo being used. Don't know wether that's right of not.

[fischauge]

Well it sucks :/. Sony hasn`t confirmed any date. I think Amazon is wrong :/

[pointless211]

Amazon are still saying that it is 25th and have put it up for Preordering so it must be soon.

[fischauge]

[demol]

Hello!

I got a Italian version of GO! Explorer...
I´d like to know if it is posible to get the UK maps and put together with italian maps...

[andreq]

As I could get from the internet... to have custom map (for now) you'd have to dissamble the eboot.bin and look for the map loading code... and change it...

anyway don't ask me how... I don't know...

I'm really looking into this (I want to add Canadian iGo map to Go!Explore) and I'll try to let you know if someone is able to do it (I look on many forum)

[JoQ]

Is it really released or not, cant find any store who sells it here in sweden. This releasedate-thing sucks...

[visigoth]

on the playstation day, during the trailer for PSN updates, there was a short section on more maps for Go!Explore

[herrjelzin]

I got the euro version on my slim&lite, don't know if you can buy it yet...but it's "out there"...
;)

PM for more info.

[Nieko]

We know it's out there, but even through PMs, don't offer or link to warez.

If you want to discuss Go!Explore itself, go ahead, I'll come up with something myself soon too probably :).

[herrjelzin]

Ok, I wont tell anyone then :)
Seems to run smoothly and nice, I'll get my holux cable soon(i hope, ordered it from hongkong 5 days ago) and I will give you all a review of Go! Explore; Sweden :)
Just give me a few days boys n girls :)

[fischauge]

holux wont work, i think.

[hiddensphinx]

holux does not work..I have tried it

only the Official PSP GPS accessory works!

[herrjelzin]

Are you sure about this? I will pick up my cable today and give it a try, would be PITA if it didnt work :/

[fischauge]

There is no support for other gps accessorys.

[mladzzo]

Is there any way to put any other map in go!explore??
Sory for bad english!!!:D

[herrjelzin]

Damn! The guys at pc-mobile sent me the wrong cable :/ The one for the Fat psp (anyone who wants to buy?) It means that i cant test the holux yet....but as a few persons wrote, that the psp doesnt support the holuxdevice, if that's true....it sux ;)

But i can tell you all that the euroversion looks great!
Btw, excuse my lack of spelling, i'm a swede :)

[fischauge]

Why should it sucks? Sony wants that you buy their device and not another one ^^.

[AdamRav]

its out for germany as far as i know

any other countries get this yet ???

Anyone knows if Go!explore works without any problem with cfw 3.90 M33-3?

thanks.

[fischauge]

It works fine.

[Boss_psp]

Thanks Fischaque

Are you using Go explore UMD or are you running it from the memory stick using .cso file?
if you using .cso file then which location/folder on memory stick you are putting cso file in?

any idea guys?
thanks.

Hi DennyPSP,

Please tell me your icq number

i want to contact you..

Cheers,

[fischauge]

sharing maps :D?

[$fastlink]

Two questions:
1)
Is it rue that with the new PSP 3000 series slim model coming out in November theres no need for any of the custom m33 firmware downgrades??

2) Is GO!EXPLORE as powerful of a system as NAVnGO 3d software created last year??

ha ha

[bacardi23]

I don't think Go!Explore will support any GPS devices other than the PSP-290. A hack would then have to fool the PSP into thinking a Holux device, e.g., is actually the PSP-290 through USB. No idea if this can be done.


I also don't think there'll be US maps any time soon. The US has always had everything before Europe (all PlayStation consoles e.g., and lots of games too), now for once it's the other way around, and tough luck for you :).
Hi there... I was digging on this subject as I've bought a M1000 and I want to connect it to my PSP (1004) and use Go!Explore....

I've found this: http://www.buygpsnow.com/usb-data-cable-for-holux-gpslim236-486.aspx

If you read the Step 4, it says "optional: if prompted for baud rate, select 4800)."

Doesn't the PSP-290 use the 4800 baud? I bet this should be something to ponder on as to making it work with Go!Explore!

Anyway, Is it possible to change the EU version of Go!Explore to delete all the other maps besides the ones that will serve my needs? lol
I just want to keep Portugal maps on with Portuguese and English voices and get rid of the rest because I don't need them and save space on my memory card...

I've tried but it keeps showing an error message...
I got 4.00m33-2 with 1.5kernel. and on recovery mode I've choosen the m33 - no UMD driver

Thank you all! ;) have fun!
