Im really looking forward to getting this working on my psp. I cant seem to find the older holux models mentioned in the first post though. Does anyone have any links to these? also Im in the us so that might be a problem.
Check Ebay/AmazonQuote:

Arkon mount, came bundled with my gps receiver...
I posted this answer as well as some others a few times already...
People just don't seem to bother to read through anymore before they ask :-(
thats what happens when the theard gets long, or just lazy people they want mouth fed answersQuote:

Well my gps unit is on the way though, looking forward to getting it to work.
Do a search on eBay for: ARKON PSP
I just bought one from there for $20.50 shipped.
is this the correct receiver?

Yeah, that one will do...Quote:

I have one that 1.5 already.
Is there any way that you could post a cleared pic of the solder points for us?
BTW...
You ROCK !!!
Holux GND (pin1) ----------------------------> PSP pin2
Holux TXD (pin3) --> [1K resistor] --------> PSP pin6
Sorry, I sealed my connector cap with crazy glue - don't think I'll be able to re-open it to make better shots... ;-)
is there any particular tyoe of mini usb cable i should use, or would any of them do..?
i know i dont want to use the one that comes with the gps 'cos that's the one that interfaces with the charger, but could i use any othr mini-usb cable i have lying around...?
do they all have that big cap/knob on them (behind the mini usb plug, after a short length of cable, and then cable continues on the other side), and should i leave the cap attached, and then cut into the cable, or should i get rid of the big cap/knob..?
thanks.
Well any type of USB miniB should work... keep in mind that the usb connector on the HOLUX ain't got nothing to do with usb... its a camouflaged serial+charging connection.Quote:

You might get some advantage of using those if you're in to high quality audio reccording somehow (e.g., minidisc's), or to comply with FCC or other standards...
This is my GPS http://img79.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsci0034fw5.jpg , but I have a problem. I don't have any signal quality. It is searching for something all the time, there are some numbers, but nothing happens. I can't connect it to PC with USB cable. What should I do now?
are you inside your room?
get outside.. gps nearly needs sightcontact with a satellite..
ok, everything is working now. Iam able to catch the signal. But where I can get maps?
sorry about my english... i hope you can understand me
u dont need them, since you dont have deniskas application yet ;)
and what do you think about this http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives..._your_psp.html
Just wait another 2-3 days I'll release the viewer...Quote:

I love it! Thanks for doing this, its looking really good!
2 questions tho, will there be maps of Sweden? And will it be possible to program warnings for speed cameras?
Thanks again!
Deniska is the best person to answer this but from what I've read and tested with the scripts here provided (as is), its not possible, right now, retrieve data from Sweden from Google maps (to street or road level), probably whit some tweaking that could be possible... Deniska can correct me if I'm wrongQuote:

You are correct about everything else though ;-)
Thanks for managing this for me :-)
Well, continuing investigating on my own, I've managed to find the error in the script and correct it so it'll work with GM v2 API and finally retrieve data... but there is a problem though: there is an offset from the coordinates you put in, didn't figure that out yet...Quote:

It looks like it may work, since it does support RS-232.. just try to find out more details about the comm part: baud that it uses, RX voltage (probably 5 v), etc..
Hey deniska, quick question. Where do you find maps and what do you rename them and where do you put them? lol :)
deniska, can you make me some cables?
I'll pay ya.. Only request is that they are black...
Give me a price, I tried to PM you but it wont let me..
If you wan't, I'll sell you mine (see the picture in the beginning of the thread) for 40 buck + whatever shipping will cost...
I was thinking of making a little softer and shorter new cable for myself...
Sorry, but it really makes no sence for me to bother with this for less money.
If interested, find a way to PM me @ this forum OR ps2dev one (same id).. I'll give you the payment instructions, etc...
To all others: I am not really interested in making those cables for money or anything else.. I do have a steady income.. and I am doing it for fun only.. :-)
i sent you a Pm on the ps2dev forum...
mhh.. what if the gps uses another voltage? ;D
u cant use the same resistor then.. :P hehe

a question... how do you DL maps if you have a 1.5
its does not have a browser.
and if you devhook it then you cant run map this...
nevermind.. I'm a retard...
Ok, I've installed all the necessary cygwin programs and plugins, but it will not download the maps. Cygwin will run the script and make all the map folders without any visible errors, but they're all empty besides a txt file in the main directory. Is there something I am doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
you can always just do wifi update from mapthis menu its very easy to do not complex things to install, you just good beable to wait a while for it to download
when it does finish i find it the easyest way, i recently downloaded 64 by 64 size map with a base zoom of like 0 so that gives me 4 zoom levels but it took about 1hour and a half
Hey Deniska,
I got my GPSlim236 yesterday and made a cable in about an hour.
Only problem is I can't get it to work with your Map This! program.
I tried your old green screen GPS viewer program and that works fine.
I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
I edited the config file to turn off the fake NMEA info.
But the display just says bad data.
I noticed the checksum value thingie for beta testers. Do I need a certain value or something?
Otherwise, great program. Certainly the best homebrew I have ever seen.
Any help appreciated.
