It sure has.
I got a question for ya though.
I have not been having any troubles with my prog, but this morning it would stop tracking for me periodically, and tell me that the data is bad.
I didnt kink or break the cable as far as I know.
any suggestions?
check if your gps is fixed on satelites. Holux would have a red blinking light when it is fixed on good signal.
it was fixed...
i was tracking 8 sats..
thats a lil strange..
never happened before...
i'm gonna donate to your SONY GPS fund, how much more do ya need, if you dont mind me asking.
Whatever you feel like... ;-)
LOL, I just found out that some chinese company sells a cable specifically made for MapThis and it's derivatives (apparently chinese folks made their own customized versions....)
Below is google translation of the page and some images:

I would order one or two if I knew how much they were and knew chinese..
that sucks
I wanted to add that I sent a PM to chi80, the guy who was building a chinese version of MAPTHIS to see if he could get these for us, I would make a bulk order if needed and sell them individually for the same price I got them, I'm not tryin to make money here.
Does that sound like a good idea???
Well, I don't really need one, but it may help other people...
I would like two for myself for my other two vehicles...
But I really dont feel like buyng more headphone cables... kinda hard to come by and expensive.
E-bay can be such a pain...
dear mate, its a really good work! and i just want 2 ask a quick question. how can the Holux's GPS receiver connect 2 PSP? it seems that psp havent got bluetooth mate... could u teach me how and send it 2 my email: [email protected]. thx a lot.
there is a thread in this forum dedicated to this...
It has pictures descriptions etc...
I need volunteers to test the address search function that I am trying to implement.
The address search is based on open-source geocoder by Dan Egnor: http://ofb.net/~egnor/google.html
It uses the Tiger Line data from US Sensus Bureau:
http://www.census.gov/geo/www/tiger/...tgr2006fe.html
(Yep, as you already guessed, this feature is US only :-( )
Attached, is the geomap index for New York state.
You'll need to unzip the files (zip.txt and all.map) and drop them in to any NY map directory.
Following map can be used for testing:
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/NEW_Y..._MANHATTAN.rar
If you run linux, using Dan's instructions, you can compile index for any other state or combination of them.
I'll try to generate more indexes shortly...
Anyway,
Press [R-TRIGGER] + [X] to activate the address lookup form, while in map mode.
Only the address line should be sufficient for a successfull geo-lookup, but the more information you enter the faster the search would be.
The search could take from a few seconds to a few minutes, depending on the query details.
The fastest is the "addr line + zipcode" combo.
Basic testing would involve loading some business listings for an area (restaurants, hotels, etc) and then verifying the geo position of that business via the geo lookup, by entering the address...
I tried to punch in about 20 NY restaurant addresses and they all worked... This, of course, needs a broader testing....
I'm all over it like white on Rice...
I will let you know what I come up with...
OOOPS>>>>
Got a big one...
Its R-Trigger and X..
took me a few min to figure out... thought i goofed something up....
hi everyone!!!
I would like to know if the 0.40 version of the "Map This!" software, can be run in the custom firmware 271 C???
thanks a lot, and congratulations for you your work, it`s realy good
regards;
moursika
Sure does...
I ran it up until a few days ago...
Deniska..
Is there any way we can try to make our own data, that way we might be able to test it better?
I have no clue about NY. Never been there..
I think we could test it better if we were more familiar with the streets...
But I suppose we could just use the NY map to get street names..
Also I was able to find a video with the Sony Map software.
Pretty neat some of the functions it has. But I am used to the functions you made, i like your better, IE the Zoom....
But I just thought that you might want top take a look at it yourself to see if you wnat to add stuff..
Just a thought...
I'll find the link for you again...
which state do you live in?
hi it`s not workin on my psp with custom firmware 271.
when I press run in the aplication, the screen get`s black, the psp shutdown...
Does anyone know why this happen???
thanks
regards
moursika
Some more geo-index files.. (PA, NJ, MI)
You'll need to unzip the file for your state, rename it to "all.map" and copy it to your map's folder.
You'll also need zip.txt file... I attached one to new york index file a few posts before
I live in NC...
Here is the NC geo-index...
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/all.map.nc.zip
well,
I tried 5 diff addresses and i got nothing..
renamed the geo index to all.map
and got the zip txt file. put them in the same folder as my maps.
did I do something wrong?
miss a step?
well, looks like it likes to make a long search instead of a short one..
I left out some info and it found the addresses
is it had to make the GEO data?
Can you make one for Wash DC for me?
I'm going there next week on business...
You are the man..
Here is the VA&DC geo-index...
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/all.map.va-dc.zip
map this 0.4 works with 2.71se-c and 3.02oe.
how about tx or houston tx geo-index
JohnMPH and I have been delving into some of the UsbGps files and have come up with a bit of progress.
All of the code work and decompiling is JohnMPH's and I've been supplying tests and research data. You can check out our thread on ps2dev.org
http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=48925#48925
JohnMPH is still working on the code but I think I know what one of the issues is. We're currently corresponding on this. Maybe soon we'll have enough done for homebrew utilizing the UsbGps.
You'll notice in his posts that he has created a program that retrieves data from the UsbGps.
Really good stuff..
I guess I am gonna order one of those receivers!
Hi all,
Just to tell you that I have asked for some info about that cable and here is the answer I had:
" The cable's price is 14.99$(USD) without shipping fee, if you wanna buy one, email to
[email protected]"
I don't know if it is what you are looking for, but I think it can be good to know...
Just another question, I have read the precedent reply and I wanted to know if I have well understood:
mapthis may be is going to work with sony gps receiver????
Merry Christmas
Sounds good! I have been testing it a lot lately and once it connects, it works really well. It can run inside a car with no additional antenna as long as it is near a window. Despite it's size, it's decent. I hope you like it.
Here's some videos of the Japanese GPS software Maplus. I made these videos for JohnMPH so he could see some of the more complex workings of the USB GPS in action. They also show the capabilities of the GPS software here in Japan. Personally I like the routing and voice directions capabilites of Maplus, but the map details of MapThis are much better.

I'll upload one once i get back to work on Tuesday...
Actually, I am thinking of re-writing that geocoder code and changing the file format (hopefully to allow reverse lookup) so those index files will probably not stick for long...
in7ane, let me know when your are back - I may need your help with Tiger data processing tool for windows, since most of people did not like linux/cygwin scripts....
Hi can some1 please guide on how to install map this! software into my PSP which is on 3.02 OE. Thanks..
just throw tthe two folders into the Game folder...
easy as pie..
I really loved how fast the cursor moved..
is there any way to speed up ours?
like in the config file?
Hi, thanks for the answer. I manage to get Map This v.4 to work on my 3.02OE firmware by adjusting the settings in recovery menu under advance section.
Getting my country map was a painful with the gmdl software as it was buggy. But i managed to get the portion of my country out and test it on my PSP.
I'm still familarizing with the software before i hook myself with a GPS unit. Was wondering if Sony's PSP GPS addon unit is compatible with Custom firmware/Devhook and Map This v.4 software?
Comments:
Map This v.4 is solid, but aesthetically poor.. =P
gmdl software is buggy, but figurable =D
I have to answer the other side of your question though. The Sony USB GPS does work with 3.02 OE as well as 2.71, 2.71 SE-(All), Devhook (emulating 2.7 and up) and everything else that has the usbgps.prx file.
It seems that MapThis will support the USB GPS in the near future. Who will build the first release of it is still up in the air, but at least two people are working on it (with me assisting one of them with the device functions)
The sooner you can get MapThis to work with Sony's gps, the sooner you will be on Slashdot,Endagadget,HackaDay, etc!
Fun,fun,fun
