Simple slim - gps hookup

oOo ok now im gonna have to buy a new cable:(

is the cable come out yet? the cable for psp slim

thanks

I have a holux m1000 receiver and mapthis installed on my psp. but, the receiver doesn't work on the mapthis. Right now I am trying to use a bluetooth signal from the receiver to operate. but I think I need a cable? Do I have to buy a cable to make the receive work on the mapthis? If so, what cable do I need to buy? I checked pc-mobile.net but they don't post any cable for m- 1000
thank you

If you use a FAT PSP then just make your own cable or order one from http://www.pc-mobile.net/pspgps.htm ( Code:GHPSP - $ 16.50 ) I ordered one of these and it works great with my Fat PSP and my Holux M1000.

If you want to solder your own cable for the FAT PSP take a peek here:

And if you have a SLIM:

The PSP does not have BlueTooth *Sigh* So it cant lock on without a Serial Cable im afraid ;)

Deniska, do you have an estimate on when the slim version of mapthis for the gpslim 240 will be available??? Because i have a psp slim and a holux 240. I emailed pc-mobile.net, they said they have them but they cant send them out yety because there is no software for it yet.
Thanks,
Zach

Deniska,
It's amazing that you came out this work:thumbup:. I have a PSP Slim (3.71 m33), a Holux GPSlim236, after I followed your work, attached the GPS onto my PSP Slim, and turned on MapThis 0.5.0ZZ, it can only show my downloaded google map, when I pressed "start" and went into "GPS Info" button, it showed "GPS STATE: OFF" among others. of course I turned on my GPS too, but I found that when I also connect my USB cable between PSP and PC, it seems want to get information from PSP's USB port(I guess that because it showed "GPS STATE: activating", but it just kept showing this), is that an original setup for PSP-290? seems it just can not hooked on to my GPSlim 236, do I need to configure something?

You can't use PSP's USB port for communication with holux devices..
and I have not release a serial port version for slim yet.. stay tuned.. it should be available soon

New PSP Slim cable now available. Much cheaper then building your own atm.

BTW, I am pretty much done with the serial version of MapThis! for the slim.. I still want to run some tests before I publish the binary. It should be out in a day or 2..
Get your cables ready :-)
