I've been testing .505 a bit more and found it crashes really a lot. I'll wait with my changes until a more stable version is out.
Can you run it in psplink and locate the source of the crash? (using psp-addr2line, etc)Quote:

I used a bare .505 installation (nothing in /PSP/COMMON, all plugins disabled, no map_pref.txt files etc.) and when zooming in fast or changing to another tile it crashed. Not anymore. Well, that's good news anyway :).
I put plugins etc. back on, and it still works.
So, I present the changes I made earlier (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...09&page=37#368) applied to MapThis 0.505 (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=78439).
The full list of changes:
- Changed GPS recording:
- Program now records to a POI file instead of recording raw data;
- POI file can be opened through POI Lookup function;
- POI file is named using timestamp and is placed in /PSP/COMMON (make sure you have a fix, otherwise timestamp may be all zeroes);
- Recording takes place every 20 meters and 5 seconds (both must have happened);
- Trail can be seen on the map when user turns marker on.
- Program ignores MIDPOINT POIs: don't show message plate;
- It reads _MY_POIS from /PSP/COMMON instead of per map;
- The screen doesn't change brightness when adapter is plugged in (only when viewing map);
- In all lists, left and right shoulder button moves the cursor 10 places back or forth;
- In nightmode, "REC: ON", shown during recording, is now green;
- Proximity to POI is now really always in pixels, not relative to pixels at zoom level 1:
- POIs are thus seen earlier if you simply zoom out;
- It's not possible to simply multiply WARNINGDISTANCE by speed, because the actual distance on the map WARNINGDISTANCE represents differs if you have different maps with different base zoom levels;
- It's also not possible to calculate distance using real distance instead of pixels, this was too CPU intensive (or at least I couldn't get it to work :P).
- Autozoom makes MapThis zoom in or out depending on your speed:
- In the configfile, the AUTOZOOM directive indicates per how many km/h or mi/h (depends on speedfix) MapThis should zoom in or out. If this directive is missing in the configfile or is set to 0, then autozooming does not happen;
- The directive AUTOZOOMENABLED indicates whether autozoom should be enabled on startup. You can toggle this setting with R + L trigger;
- The directive AUTOZOOMHYSTERESIS (from GoDE) indicates how many km/h or mi/h extra/less you have to drive before autozoom happens;
- In combination with my change to have WARNINGDISTANCE really work on a pixel basis, this can be handy to see waypoints earlier on the freeway :).
- Second line in POI can now be 90 characters;
- Support for _DEFAULT POI file, which loads at startup:
- Put this file in /PSP/COMMON to load it for every map;
- Put it in a map folder for specific folders only.
- Swapped red and green in icons back to the way they were in 0.501 and earlier, i.e., red is inactive, green is active;
- Fixed speedlimit to take speedfix into account;
- Do not show _MY_POIS when loading another POI file.
For developers: look for "// Nieko" in the files mentioned above. The changed files are: attractions.[ch], font.[ch], main.c, ICON00.PNG, makefile, config.txt, {attraction, circle, waypoint}.png

Because I only have a PSP-290, I have not tested if any of this functionality works for generic GPS devices.
Hey Deniska, it works great and the smooth zoom are beautyful and i think mapthis are faster.i can choose the maps faster,i think the performance are greater.
but the testphase must be on road in next time.
Out of curiosity, why did you disabled this feature?Quote:

Both sides have arguments of course, I preferred this one.
Nice ! I hope Deniska fixes the problems i addressed him too in 505.
And stuff some great features from Nieko into 505 final.
Then Mapthis will be almost complete.
My only wish is then:
Vector data implementation.
The Netherlands has very good vector data available :)
