Does Mapthis support .loc files for geocaching etc?
btw Deniska and all those involved with this project, great application!
Great Deniska,now i got the gps290 rom japan and i test your nice software.But I´m so happy.It works great.Now i can make the languagepacks ready ;)
Good works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
greats from germany.......
on the first page, the wire in the fist page for psp to holux anyone know the site where to buy it at?
Thanks Deniska and everyone involved.

Deniska, had my first road trip with 0.5 (and my psp-290 as always) today. Newly 3.52 prx files (extracted myself). My hopes were VERY high because of this new version with new features.
But i'm shocked of gps performance. It's way down than 04.99 !!
As you know i'm a very advanced user but i don't understand this:
The psp-290 dropped it's signal almost every minute while in 3d mode :o ??
After a while the signal didn't even came back ! Rebooting the psp helped, but it took almost 5 minutes to lock then again.
Also, when the sats are locked, the arrow on the screen dances like Elvis in the fifties on the screen, what is happening ?
North up mode helped a bit but wow i didn't expect this bad performance at all.
I might consider going back to 04.99 as everything was fine there !!
Is it my setup or am i having a bad GPS day ? Because it was beautifull weather, almost no clouds at all and my 290 locked in at 1:56 min on 4 sats at once (20 mhz).
Also i saw now noticable differences between 333 mhz and 222 mhz. 222 is much more keeping the signal in driving conditions.
But the 3d mode needs 333 mhz i think, because it has to render the images.
Also the missing tiles rendering was making my psp-290 totally loose control. It says my car was flying over the road ??
Hope you have answers for this, what did you do on :
-Sat fixing and keeping fix code ?
-CPU memory using ?
Great work deniska, very happy with the program.
To anyone unsure of what GPS to get, I own the PSP-290, and it is fantastic, doesn't even take that long to lock on, works great with this software.
Thanks again, Deniska.
hey deniska, do you plan on making it so map this calculates the routes via the psp? also what voices are needed (ie): turn right. and can some one make step by step directions on how to make directions using gmdl?
hmm...complete different experience here.Quote:

I'll take my GPS to work to test it again, but I think it has become better than ever before.
Furthermore: No crashes yet!
Ah, before I forget that: German voice-prompts are ready and work really really fine. Another User of this forum will test them before I want to post the files here. PNs are welcome...
Good Morning ;)
first thank you for the files, Waltrock. I will test them after work and will report.
Yesterday I had some curious issues with "WIFI MAP UPLOAD":
Wifi connection worked fine, tested it in the xmb menue and wifi switch was on. In my first attempt mapthis tried to get some connect within 20 times. After that I tried it again and psp crashed and switched completly off...
I think it depends on some memory leakage or?
never seen any possibility to select your satellite on your own. I turn on my holux and the nearest satellite he find will be choosen. Hmm, is there any chance to select your satellite individually?Quote:

deniska is this 90mhz the tested and proven best speed for this GPS-290 unit? juz curious...
and oso if u dun mind me asking, u did explained what is warm start on page 9...but how abt cold n hot? juz hoping to get more info on configs so that fixing of sat will be optimized...thx in advance..!
You misunderstood...Quote:

This morning i have had the same view as before. I think there are more satellites at night over my head ;). But I cannot confirm that the fix needs much longer with the new version!
The unit has problems with the electrical field the processor of the PSP generates. So if you slow down the CPU the field max disappear and you see more satellites and get earlier fixes. Because of this the CPU-Speed is just 90mhz in the Sat-Info-Screen. If you change to the mapview, you have the speed that you set in the menu (222mhz or 333mhz)Quote:

thx for the reply waltrock...but all tat u've replied i already know abt them -> the lower the field...the faster it fixes...
but my question is actually asking -> is 90mhz a tested n proven best setting (fastest fix on, least possible chance of mapthis freezing, most stable cpu speed) for GPS-290 or is it possible that there might be an even lower frequency (which hasn't been tested yet) which might make it work even better...
You can set:
SATINFOFREQUENCY to 20 mhz
This is the lowest value possible.
20 mhz will give a few seconds faster fix then 90 mhz.
Sometimes, sometimes not :D
deniska - Thanks for the update! Also thank you for the Geodata "work around"
I am having some trouble extracting the contents- I get an "unexpected end of file" error. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Wonderful work !
For me it works perfectly with the 5.0 with my Holux GPS. For information I could not get the GPS to fix with previous versions... now it just works !
The interface is great. Congratulations ;)
Regarding the maps, I am still annoyed with gmdl as I do not have windows, I am looking at the code to see if I could make some script to get the maps directly from the websites.

PS: By the way thanks for hex-a-hop as well, I spent my holidays on it ;)
Great Work Deniska! I always wanted to play music while using this and now I can! Thanks so much for your time and effort.
lol everybody here are happy with their gps receiver..except me :(
I bought the PsP290 three months ago and I still can't get fixed any satellite. (10 min waiting)
cf340
usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx extracted by myself from original sony 340fw, with the program.
wifi off
no umd
gps speed lowered
What should I do?Does exists any tool to debug gps signal?I heard about usb fix tool...does it matter?advices?
crying.....wasted my money..
how can i make the POIs i dled show up on the map all at the same time?? like all the categories...some of the food POIs does not show up...only starbucks...
just merge them in to one file.Quote:

Im still having problems with the sound. I tried several things and the voice prompt plays to fast. What should i do?
delete old Soundfiles in the folder of you map if there are some...
To quote myself, because Deniska had many many replies :) Now that the storm is over maybe he can answer my questions :DQuote:

For this to work, I used a mercator projection that seems to match perfectly google projection. (Note that it is not the UTM).
At that point I need to write the GPSFS, and I read the code treating the coords.txt to interpolate the coordinates. This code does not seems to consider the mercator projection.
Is the goal to simplify the computation to go faster ? Or did I miss something ?
Thanks for your help.

Codaz and everyone else asking,
I just want to make it clear, since people keep bringing up PSP-290 satellite fixing topic.
There was nothing done in 0.5 (other than playing with PSP clock frequencies) to improve the reception of the psp-290 unit...
I doubt that the reception can be improved programatically...
BTW, weather has much less impact on the reception than, for example, solar activity...
So having a sunny day - does not guarantee a good reception..but having a good receiver usually helps it ;-)
what code are your lloking at (gmdl/mapThis)?Quote:

Overwise, use development thread in discussion forum.

So are there more psp gps modles other then the psp-290?
Thanks for your quick answer.Quote:

I have strange results using these functions, I have recoded them from the mercator projection definition found on wikipedia and the results seems more consistants at least if I check with google maps.
Haven't you noticed a deviation of the GPS while going near the pole (south or north) ?
The getLatLong function can be simplified to avoid calling several trigonometric functions.
I am trying to build mapthis localy and if it work as expected I will post a patch.

PS: Sorry I did not find the develoment forum related to mapthis.
EDIT: Finally I found the development thread. I will post in it from now on.
i used to use a leadtek 9553 For my nokia (tomtom)
put my mobile is Dead
my question is there a posibility to convert the pc driver to psp driver
or can i just plug it in so yeah what are the setting because i've tried...
i made a cable for my psp to leatek (mini usb <--> mini usb) but it does'nt do a thing
i would use my remote controll if someone could give me howto on the wiring (I'm a electricien so don't worry) i mean audio(serial) --> to mini usb
i have CFW 3.52 m33-Rev4 and mapthis 0,5
if anny body could help me PLEASE :)

Im Dutch, so sorry for anny rong grammer !!!
I using MapThis 0.5 and GMDL0.5b to download satellie Map.
It can play on Mapthis0.5.
The difficult thing is GMDL0.5b is always error.
The solution is reconnect with different IP.:thumbup:

I could not find any info on the serial wired interface.. if you have any detailed specks or wiring diagrams it may clear up the things...Quote:

@deniska
just wondering, why mapthis crashes when I zoom in/out in gps mode but it doesn't do that if the gps mode is off?
trust me it still does even not in gps mode.. it keeps crashin on me if i zoom in and out too fast. thinking of reverting back to 0.99 now..Quote:
