Thx deniska for ur quick answer and ur prog MAPThis :D
Here is a patched version for "other gps device" users, with increased NMEA buffer..
Please try it and let me know if it works for your devices...
If you use GPSlim 236 - you don't need to upgrade...
I havn't gps for the moment but if i find friend who can test, i tell u !
Hello, I'm French and i have the GPS inforad V3 ( NMEA-0183 v2.0 ) and I would like to know how to make it function with Map This.
Somebody can liberally help me.
Hi team!
I have one problem, after installing the new version of MAp this and after download the map of me region, i put the program and when putting way (mode)gps, the program says: location out of range!! because it passes this to me?
The new version install it replacing the eboot, I did it well? can for that reason?.
Thx I go to learn English so that understand better
Make sure FAKEFEED is disabled in config, check WIFI switch and UMD drive...Quote:

Sorry for my English I am only 15 years old.
I have the UMD empty and the WIFI is off.Quote:

Thanks!
Can you post a picture of the USB cable used?Quote:

in mapViewer\system\ Folder is a config.txt... open it and in the Lin where FAKEFEED=1 is written you must write instead of 1 a 0 !!
FAKEFEED=0
@ ALL
So my Problem is now that in MapThis the Arrow... when I drive resfreshes every... let say 1 Second... so.. every 1 Second the Position is refrshed in MapThis...
But on deniskas Videos you can see that it's refreshing not in so long time... it need less time then at mine PSP!!!
so.. can someone help me at this or hase anyone a resolution for my problem???!!!
Thank you!!

With the green-screen program I can see that before data output begins, it displays Firmware version, mfgr date, etc....several lines of info. If I plug in the reciever and quickly unplug it I can see this information. There's no way to pause the output via the program.
Using the patch, I have MapThis working great now with respect to position, but the other data (altitude, time, # of satellites) doesnt show up. Its not parsing the other lines
A question for A Fn NOOB: What readtime setting have you got in your config file ?
I still cannot get my Garmin GPSIII to work with the new version. Is promising to hear that you have got your GPS working ok. I assume that the Pharos GPS-360 is a fairly recent model.
Holux's refresh rate is 1 sec. I put in some basic logic which tries to predic the next location and make moving less jumpier... It seems to work best @ zoom 2 and higher...Quote:

Need I configure the config file or do you coded it in MapView itself?!
Thank you.... deniska
I have another Question:
How can I introduce the waypoints in the map?
The in7ane's program generates one archive and I don't know where i must put it on in order to watch it.
Thx.
If you know your waypoint's GPS coordinates, you can manually incert it in any POI file (anyplace)Quote:

That would be good if it will be configurable in next Version!!!
and congratulations to the 1st Place on the contest...
You made it!!!!
;) ;) :D
Congratulations! Just wondering, how does 71 beat 109? Did they go back and see several of the votes for IrShell were from the same ip address or what? You certainly deserved to win, not only for making something new and awesome, but for spending so much time spoon-feeding us noobs. I'll probably still send you $20 soon anyways...its that good!
@ deniska
I have some suggestions for the Next release of Map This....
1. Can you code MapThis so that the PSP Screen don't get off after a couple of minutes
2. It'll be good if it would be possible to mark some Places/Locations on the Map with a Icon and maybe a description.....
So.. directly in MapThis
3. in next release it would be nice if you could integrate the "SMOOTHER" Arrow Move !! :D
So.. that were 3 of my suggestions for the next release....
I will post more suggestions when they appear in my Brain!!! :D :D :D :D :D :cool:
So keep up the really good work.....
This will be a KillerApp for the PSP!!!
Thank you for your work!!
:cool: :cool:
KLICK ME
omg i love the thank u's
LOL
That's not really part of the app, its your Power Save Settings. You turn it off by disabling "Backlight Auto-Off".Quote:

Hi I am having trouble with compressed maps? The map I am using is about 1.89gb which is huge taking up my entire memory stick. How can I save some space? I heard you can compress it which I'ved tried to RAR format. But when I tried to load it up, it would freeze my entire system and I have to remove the battery pack to reset. Great software! Congrats on winning 1st place with a well deserved victory!
The only way is to remove some tiles you don't need (water/mountains/other).Quote:

One advise I may give you is try to divide that huge area in several small areas and name them the way you can know were you are and change manually to other area when reach boundaries,
9 maps:
NW|N|NE
W|0| E
SW|S|SE
wow, 1.89gb!! how big is that map?Quote:

FYI, as I mentioned before, map this! currently would not correcly display maps bigger than 256x256 (it cuts out half of the map)
I'll fix this bug in the next release...
Make sure you format your MS to FAT32 - it does save alot of space.
You can also save space by removing some zoom layers (can't completely remove the most detailed one though) and/or getting rid of some tiles (for areas that you don't need, like lakes, etc)
You can get rid of zoom layer by removing the Nx folder insize the map (2x,4x, etc)
in7ane's dl tool already offers "area editing" in the last few versions..
Yet another way to save space would be to batch process all images with Photoshop, Image Magic or some other program - you can try to reduce the number of colors in the PNG or convert it to JPG with some loss of quality...
deniska, can the next version not shut off with select.
Everytime I switch back to ishell with left-shoulder and select , it quits mapviewer.
Also could headphones be used while a gps device is plugged in if a headphone cable was spliced into the gps connector?
And have you got a link for the map_This_v02_fw15_EBOOT.zip file?
Just tried to multitask MapThis with mp3 player using IrShell:Quote:

Hi thanks for replying. lol I'm surprised by your reaction when I said it's 1.89gb. hehe I have actually removed some fo the zooms and I will take your advice to format it in FAT32. I'm not sure how that can be done I just use the tool that is within the psp. Thanks for your help.Quote:

Like how it shows on the display pic for the first post of this thread?
Again thanks so much for EVERYTHING! You have no idea how long I've been searching for something like this.
You have to import a route not just a single POI..Quote:

You can import a route (which is a collection of points with instructions along your way from MSN using in7ane's tool..
Great thanks I think I got it. I tried what you said formatted my mem stick to FAT32 and the reinstalled all dh etc.. and reinstalled mapview deleted 1X and 32x leaving on 2x/4x/8x/16x. After all that I ended up with about 1.85gb FREE! It was a drastic difference. Thanks so much for the advice! I think the FAT32 really helped. I dont' think it was formatted to FAT32 before that's the main difference took up about 1.8gb.Quote:

Yes it works in the green screen app, i´ve alleready wrote this, look upper pls. It works at the moment, after cutting the connector, the orange led is blinking, satelite connection is etablished, the only prob i have is that mapthis! wont would work with my data, in green screen i see lon, lat, connectet satelites, quality etc, and in map this nothing, wifi is off (switch off) and theres no umd in slot, but it wont work, yes, i´ve gave FAKEFEED a "0", how i told, first time after building cable i connect the gpsslim start map this and see me as an arrow on the downloaded maps, you know it alleready works very fine, i hope you can now help me, i´ve took every option i´ve had before i wanted to ask you...Quote:
hy deniska, i´am a german user and i must first shake your hands for the 1st place, a very great programm!!!
And the Idea with the serial port let my project go round to Smiley
But, i must say you the same as danzel, on your gps viewer programm the gps signals are shown on the screen, but when i start mapthis! i always had "Bad Data", i own a gps slim 236, same like you. And curios is that, first time, after build the special cable, i start map this, the gps works, i´ve drive around and my position was shown on screen, but since monday, nothing, the gps device is like dead. I´ve the wifi switch of and no umd in slot, but nothing works.
I´ve build my cable with the original psp remote controller cable, with one mod. i´ve cut of the pin connector for the headphones, in high of the serial connector, so i can hear music too when i´ve connectet the gps device. Since i´ve cut this, map this says no to my gps device, but over this connectors nothing comes thru. And, i´ve said it, in your gps viewer app. its funct. wonderfull... I hope you can help me!
But, i think i buy a new PSP cable and build it again, what is crazy at the moment, then one app show me off my coordinats, and the other is still quite.
Did you cut the audio plug?
I think it may need to be inserted in order to power the seral port...
Unlike, green screen program, MapThis loads WIFI modules, which seem to impose this as well as UMD Drive thing...
so... i have one question....
is it possible to port an OpenSource GPS Project to the PSP!?
This would make your work maybe a little bit easier to integrate the ROuting Part in your software?!
I searched the web for Open Source GPS projects and found something maybe interessting for you!!
Here are the Links !!
First:

Third Link:

and the last Link!

so... im reading these sites now to look if it's for USE but i Think you, deniska knows it better then me!!
maybe you (deniska) could need something like this?!
