no mine is not a TA-082.
HDOP - "horizontal dillusion of presision" has nothing to do with the bars (well.. almost)
High hdop value is usually associated with bad choice of satellites due to weak signal (ie the receiver has a fix on a few satellites that are grouped to close to one another and therefore triangulation of coordinates yields significant error...
The green bars show the number of "fixed" satellites: 1 bar=3 sat; 2 bars=4 and so on...
Deniska, are you working on making this more stable in 3.10 OE? I like this prog, and it was working fine in 3.03 OE, I'm guessing there's some changes in development on 3.10 fw.
i just found out that Sony released 2 version of the gps290. The 1st was just the unit(which i got) and the 2nd was released with a UMD called MAPLUS. I bet ever1 knows that but me..LOL
I met some1 &cough$ who had this umd and they let me try it out. It is only good for japan.
It has lots of info and must of nearly fulled up the umd.
I don't read or speak Japanese so it is hard for me to use as there is no languages settings. I have found out how to use the gps look up section though.
It finds sat very quick and gets a fix with in a 5 mins. It is very overcast here today.
The coor are slightly different then of mapthis which i know has pinpointed me many times.
I will test it out over the next few days but then i leave for Bangkok.
@bootspsp
The GPS Units are the same.
Only the Bundle for sale is different.
@Deniska
I have decrypted Firmware 3.10 with psardump to geht usbgps.prx and usbacc.prx
When I try to start MapThis with this Files, then it tell me "...cant load usbgps" or anything like that.
With the Files from 3.03 everything works fine.
@All other, MapThis also runs on 3.10 OE-A perfectly ;)
PS:
MapThis also Works in Germany with PSP290 - Japan import *hehe*
mystheryman
thank you very much i did not know that...............................
ubsgps and usbucc from 3.10 works np for me
Hello,
Just got home from Japan with a Sony GPS module (the one that came bundled with Maplus). I'm dying to use this with MapThis! but I'm a noob to the homebrews. Could anyone point me in the direction of some instructs as to how to get this working (i.e. loading up the right firmware, etc.)?
Much appreciated.
Can't detect any problems on my 3.10 OE-A.
That is all I know ;)
I am having problems unzipping the files I have used winzip and winrar. Help Please! Mike
i got the lastest verison 3.10oe-a and i finally put me my whole metro area on here and when i browse through it, it just gets stuck randomly and then i got to pull out the battier to reboot it, or it reboots by it self.
Here is another beta version for those who wants to try it...
To install, you must ovewrite your current EBOOT.PBP with the new one from appropriate folder and copy the new graphics to system filder.
Features:
The PSP-290 version has some optimizations which may prevent it from hanging in 3.10 FW..
Faster reverse geodata lookup function...
Hopefully better rendering in GPS mode...
GPSlim version features most of the things rolled out for PSP-290 version:
SAT INFO screen (although display is slightly different from PSP-290 due to difference in GPS feeds)
Better trip stats logic - you can now jump in to map mode w/o loosing the trip stats.
Map rotation in map mode
Faster reverse geodata lookup
alpha sort in map/attraction menues..
Note: NMEA recording is currently disabled, untill I workout a better logic and interface to support it..
Since GPS-mode rendering logic was changed in both versions you may need to adjust SPEEDFACTOR value in config.txt to allow smother scrolling...
thanks deniska
I will test it over the next few days and let u know if i have problems.
no problems with new version till now.
Now it works with 3.10 prx's for me.
One question @deniska
Are you planning to support maps with more than 1024? If you know what I mean? ;)
I still get this error message.
! I:\New Folder\MapThis_047.rar: CRC failed in MapThis_047\GPSlim\EBOOT.PBP. The file is corrupt
! I:\New Folder\MapThis_047.rar: Unexpected end of archive
works here :)
@mike
Try to redownload the File.
my mapthis find 3-4 satellite,but it doesn't work,it doesn't point me on the screen,what can i do?
i tested it 5 times yesterday and i got upto 8 sat and a fix ever time. This is quick as well.. Wel done deniska... 100% improvement....
Tried a few times, but I couldn't get it to work on PSP290. The moment when Mapthis tried to load my custom made map, the whole thing hanged and eventually shutdown after a few second. If I try to load the supplied map from the earlier attached version, it works properly and if I try to reload my custom made map again, this time it then loaded fine without problem.
Well, the latest one is an improvement, but not 100%. On a test I made, the signal was jumping around after a while when I stayed still somewhere, then it bounced around and when it got around where it was supposed to be, it crashed. But at least the map loads now. :)
i changed my eboot to the eboot file from gps-290 and when i try too load my map it says "please wait while map is load" and then reboots ? can sum one help?
i need help getting the 3.10 prx's too then, so can some one attache them or tell me a way to get them..
it is very easy to get the prx.. if you use a pbp unpacker and then use psardump on the data.psar file which is in the 3.10 eboot.php(which sony gives us).
I am not sure if it is illegal to do that..
I can explain in more detail
Does anybody have an English manual for PSP-290?
Its use seems to be quite simple plug-n-play, still I can't get it work in MapThis 0.461s. It just hangs there as if being made from wood (and fakefeed=0)
@Porco
Go here:
http://www.playstation.com/manual/pdf/PSP-290X.pdf
for the Manual.
GDML's Advanced mode is No GPS support right now? the next version will do it?
thanks.
2 Mystheryman
Thanks a lot!
Probably I just could not get the signal from inside the building.

can you give me more detail beacuse i never done this before.
Does anyone get "real time" tracking with their PSP-290? I mean, when I'm driving, the red arrow is about 1 second behind (meaning, after I pass an intersection, for example, the red arrow is still trying to catch up with me).
Is this just the nature of the beast with all GPS receivers?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi! I'm from Spain and I've buy a PSP-290 GPS receiver but I can´t make it run!!! I try Map this 0.461 beta and 0.47 but nothing! What version and prx files are you using???? Thanks!!!
Y de donde puedo sacar esos ficheros especificos? podrÃ*as mandarme justo lo que estas usando a mi correo? ([email protected]) Yo estoy usando el custom firmware 3.03-OE C de Dark alex, tu?
Muchas gracias!
yo tambien: 3.03 OE-C
i put the prx files from 3.10 and it still shows me "please wait while map is loading" and then reboots, it does this with the new eboot for mapviewer, but it works with the original one
