Edit Well I am getting some signals but no fixes Im wondering why the mapthis doesnt pick up the same sats as the green screen. In the green screen you can the location value I have the best luck on 0 is this where the mapthis is set and how would I check?

You can change the location value in the system/config.txt

Very stupid question but have to do it
How do I know that the GPS is Working?

I installed Map this without no problems and ran the program too, but it does not seens to work for me....

When I run the GPS Tester it defines my initial location

But when I turn Map This on, GPS never connects....

What am I doing wrong? Could somebody help? it loads the maps and stay not pointing my initial location

Hey Deniska great program. Even with the PSP 290 I usually get 3-4 bars even on this rainy/cloudy day inside my truck. Works very good for me. It even started up in only 1min and 45 secs today for me which is fast even for me. There is only one thing that I would like to ask: When im in the closest zoom level the arrow is very choppy when moving and has quite the delay ie:When I am driving about 35 miles per hour and pass a road in real life it takes about 2 seconds before I pass the same road on the gps. Is this sort of thing fixable? I saw some settings in config.txt but not sure what to change. Its almost as the gps needs to "refresh" with the satellites faster and more.

Thanks in advance

(PS: Not very educated about the workings of a gps system, these problems could just be normal)

Should it start pointing exactly where I am at the moment?

Should I turn something on on my psp to make it work?

I'm using Sony's GPS + 3.03 OE-A with 2.71 usbacc.prx and 3.03 usbgps.prx

hit the square button to turn the gps on. go to the menu by pressing start, and scroll down to select "gps info" where you should start seeing satellite info...

or do some kind of predicting in relation to the current speed you're travelling..

i upgraded to 3.10oeA the other day.. It works for me just the same as 3.03oec.
I am still testing

I have a 1.50 original firmware on my PSP, and I also have DevHook 0.52 emulating 3.03.
My question is quite simply, could I run MapThis on 1.50 or on DevHook 0.52 ?

i put the five files it gave me of my city, and when i turn it on it just says "please wait while map is loading" and then it shuts the psp down. can some one help me?
i go the lasest verison 3.10oe-a

I tried it once with some older devhook version, emulating 2.71 & HEN and it worked... not sure about the latest devhooks...
And you can run "generic gps" version under 1.5 kernel just fine (in case you not looking to use it with PSP-290)

The recever send coordinates updates once a second... therefore you may see some chopiness and small delays...although 2 secods sounds a bit too "delayed" - I'll take a look at my code...
Unfortunatelly, it's kinda hard for me to test/ improve it since I rarery get continuous reading in the car, driving through my area... :-(

Thanks Deniska! To tell you the truth that is the only real problem that I have!! The "lag"(choppiness) and the delay. I used some velcro to put a simple psp stand (one from logitech amp) on my dash and it stays there beautiful receiving signals through my window. Tonight I went to a function at a school about 30 minutes away and even though it was foggy and raining it was still getting 3-4 bars the whole way there. Even reaching 5 bars or whatever the max is when I got to the school! (high elevation let me note) Thanks again Deniska Im sorry to hear about your experience inside the car :(
