That's exactly what I am looking at at the moment. It's not a bug though, but a simple behaviour decision ( as in trying to read without giving up )...

I have exactly the same "problem", unfortunately looking at the data reported from the gps, this is a gps issue and not MapThis!.
( If you get satellites only in a small cone, the altitude computation becomes very inprecise due to limited bit representation of the numbers. Check how gps devices compute altitude... )

A few bugs still there:
Speed isn't correctly presented in KM/H. When i drive 55 km/h in my car (corrected with garmin) Mapthis says i'm almost driving 70 :S

Also, altitude isn't correctly displayed. At my home i'm at -0.8 meters ? I live almost on the highest point of the street.

Hope you can give me new digits (other than supplied in config.txt) so i can correct this.

Thanks to leaod for the very nice graphics, only i liked the previous red arrow a bit more than this blue one.

Track-up mode now works great !, the compass is nice.

But it says Bearing: NE and then in GPS screen, Bearing 67, isn't that a bug ? Or are wind directions digitized ?

111 mhz is working fine !, i think it fixed MUCH faster now, but i have to test that on other places and trips.
My first fix was done UNDER 2 minutes !!

Keep up the good work.

Codaz;
Here comes red arrow ;)
Just replace that for your existent arrows.png file.

Lol i liked the form factor, not the color ;)

But hey thanks anyway !

Ok a few more testing done. Now i have the 3.10 prx files (both) and it's acquiring a fix VERY fast.

But why should we use different version prx files ? For example 2.71 usbacc.prx and 3.10 usbgps.prx

Whats the difference between the prx files and what functions do they have ?

Ok some further test results:

-If you're gps state is OFF in sattelite info screen, take off your psp-290 and reclick it onto your psp, it has to say activating and then it should be ON, and works good.

-Best loc = 1 in GPS mode.

-GPS state on doesn't mean your position is calculated, you have to press square to activate.

-Poi's are still not working correctly, placed all icon's for 3000 gasstations (and in that system/config folder) in correct order, and they don't show up if i load them.

-Mapthis chrashes in track up mode, when map is turned about 65 degrees to the right, with gps on, and then you move the analog stick. It could be a defect tile that i ran into.

-If you have a fix of sattelites, you can set the CPU back to 222 or 333, for better map scrolling.

-111 mhz is way better for you battery, i think 6-7 hours of driving can be done, also consider turning your screen brightness to 2 or 3, not 4 (on 3.x OE)

-Calculate route function doesn't work
I set a marker, and then another one and i press the circle button for the next waypoint, and then the right shoulder button, but no route is calculated or plotted.
Help feature of mapthis doesn't help me out on that.

Ok time for some sleep, good luck !

I've been away for some time. Just downloaded v.0497 to overwrite my 0460. Now i get "game could not be started 80020001" message. No matter what I do I get the error. v.0460 was working just fine for me. Thanks

Hi deniska, hi MIB.42
I just tested the new version and must say you are doing a great job with this tool.
Now it is possible to enter POIs in all three formats.
The only drawback here is that the length is limited to 10 characters.
I noticed this when I tried my first geocaching tour today and wanted to enter the second waypoint it was not possible because the field length had to be a minimum of 12 characters to enter the waypoint correctly :( So I had to stop this first geocache because it was not possible to edit the _MY_POI file. Hope you will get rid of this limitation in one of the next releases:thumbup:
My wife was like this:rofl: when she saw me struggling to enter the next waypoint.
I promised her you two would help me out here;)
So maybe it will be possible to enter up to 14 characters in one of the next versions.
I guess with 14 characters you will be able to enter every POI in any of the three formats.
Thanks a lot for this great tool.

Very great work, fabulous software! :thumbup:

But in France the speedlimits on the motorways are in Kmh...How to switch Mph <--->Kmh on the display panel ?

Thanks.

As described in the FAQ:

Speed Conversion, edit your config.txt:
SPEEDFIX=1.151 gives you miles per hour
SPEEDFIX=1.8523 gives you kilometres per hour

I added this, possible to enter up to 18 characters. Are you using the generic or the 290 version?

deniska, add_poi_menu, int lens[4]= { 37,43,18,18};

Thanks a lot MIB.42
I found the place were you changed the values in main.c and I would compile the source myself if I knew how to.
I've tried to setup my cygwin/psptoolchain/pspsdk development environment a few times already but everytime when I try to compile the source I get loads of errors with file or directory missing etc.
Could you please post a link to a site that explains step for step how to set up the environment and were to place the source files, which libs are needed and where to place everything? Or send me a pm with instructions if possible.
Bye the way I am using the generic version.

MIB 42 : Thanks for your answer, lot of others wrong questions are very clear now for the poor French guy I am ! :thumbup:

Those values aren't correct ! If i drive 50 km/h Mapthis says i'm driving almost 70 !

The only correct values are present in the Green proggie.

Hello I am from Germany and I has a PSP-290 GPS adapter and wanted the new MapThis0497 to use however if I it starts gets I a bluescreen with the error message:

- Loading USB Accessory of modules…. error

which I can make I have the Custom FW 3.10OE a'

http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=49838
and get a look...

It is not am TA-082 board

WOW... a lot better than the previous version i get fixes in under 2-3 minutes. amazing! the scrolling is a lot better too, keep it up dude. :)

You're supposed to just overwrite some files. The eboot, system, and srs files/folders. Not replace.

ok it works i take other prx files :thumbup:

Again, Friends: Sorry but it doesn't work for me. The new eboot v.497 gives me the error. When I put back the old eboot v.460 it works fine. Any help or idea will be appreciated.

Thanks

Did you get the correct (PSP-290 version) EBOOT?
and I am assuming you run it under 3.xx kernel..

about prx files - you should proably use the ones for the FW version that you run. Usually the latest are the best. (for example 2.71 fw gps modules had a bug displaying coordinates for USA and ,according to some forum posts, did not "memorize" last location, which made next session's acquisition longer)

POI icons must be in map's directory.
POI files must start with "_" to be visible.
POI list menu icons are displayed based on keywords in the POI title. For example in order for gasstation icon to be present you need to have the word "GAS" in the POI description.

Routing function currently has little to do with path distance calculator...so you must use gmdl tool to generate a route.. I'll try to improve this in future releases...

As far as "HELP" text goes - if anyone wants to re-write it to be a more useful - send me the text and I'll attach it to next release...

I think the PSP-290 reports the speed in km/h so if you need km/h just put 1 in the speedfix in config.txt file

WOW,
I have been gone for a few months, this version rocks.
I'll test it out today...

Deniska, here is my created POI file of all gasstations in my area. I hope it's created well.

It doesn't work. If i load it then the 3000 gasstations aren't displayed. If i ADD a poi, then the POI points show up, but WITHOUT the icons.

The following is wrong i think:
-Multiple POI's in the _MAP folder
-Old POI isn't loaded out.
-POI is wrong
-Mapthis failure.

Maybe you can look at it. Hope to see a new Mapthis release soon :thumbup:

Deniska, I am running under 1.5 with a holux. Got the correct ver. from the holux folder. "game could not be started 80020001". Like I said before, switching back and forth from one eboot to the other v.460 works, v.497 doesn't.

I hope I don't have to get this or that prx. It really gets out of hand when everyone has a different config depending on their firmware. if you know what I mean.

Thanks for the good work.

You need different binaries, use PSPHomeBrew9 to make the 1.5 compatible binaries.
Download from http://psp-news.dcemu.co.uk/files/ps...w9_Install.exe

hi guys
i've received now the gps-290 but i have a problem
i've plugged it, then i've opened mapthis 049b and i've choose gps mode...

Can we observe the topics/threads please.
This question has NOTHING to do with developing new code, as a matter of fact not even the previous ones.

Please check FAQs and the NEWS discussions for support issues. Thanks!

sorryyyyyyyyyyyy :(

MIB.42 thank you very much. It works now. Just created 1.5 pbp files from the original.


Thanks again

i cant find where can i change to 111mhz.
When i use de menu, only changes from 222 to 333 and back.
Help me
Thanks

Milhause, go to the GPS Info screen in the menu, press down-button until it is 111mhz. Done!

Hi guys

Anyone got it working on 3.10oe w/ PSP-290??

I get 'error loading USB adaptor' :(

Do I need to change the PRX files? if so how? From what I have found on the net, I need to change my firmware again to actually extract the PRX files?

thanks for any help. have 1 week to get this sorted before im travling in Japan for 10 days!

Deniska; MIB.42
Using the new version I had some problems using the WIFI map, it doesn't work for me here (PSP-290).

I dont know if its happen just here in London but its better to fix the satellites using the 333 mhz speed or 222 than 111 using location 1. The GPS 290 Test get the sat fixed first . My previous version of mapthis was working as the Green homebrew both very quick.

Another suggestion is to create a folder called POI to put all POI files and any map can use those files from that folder. Otherwise you need to duplicate the same file for 5 maps (as Im doing now).

WIFI module does not seem to work in 3.xx fw - so this will remain off untill we find a way to enable it.

I put different frequiencies so people could find what works best for their PSP and outside conditions... BTW, the test proggie works on 222Mhz..

Putting POIs in a separate folder does not make much sence, since POIs really relate to a sertain area: i.e. it would not make much sence to try to view some british restaurants on a map of France and viceversa... Also, attaching icons to maps - allows better customization...

Right, maybe just my reality it's a bit different :P
I don't use Mapthis with multi countries map but just to have the full UK map I needed to split it in a lot of maps. Another solution would be just keep the names different into a folder eg: _Petrol_Station_UK , _Petrol_Station_USA.

But don't you worries POI files are all very small.

In case any one was having trouble runing this for the holux i found that if you put the mapveiwer folder with the ebbot and etc in the regular game folder and put it in 1.50 kernel it will work jsut fine. dont knwo why but it does.

- increased lenghts for lat/lon entry fields in ADD POI form
- corrected "Reset Trip Data" logic
- added "record GPS data" [LEFT] button and read from file logic for PSP-290
- made compatible with latest PSPSDK version.
