Hello,
I've got a question about poi's. I'm using the program from in7ane, looks really cool and i think it is a great tool for using map this, but i'm a noob and can't found answer on this forum.
How can i put poi's into my psp. the gps works perfect and looks so cool, i really want the poi's.. but i reaaly don't now how to put these things into the psp. somethimes it happend that the display in the right give me lots of cordinates, but i don't now how to use them.. or what. can somebody make a smaal tutorial for it, that will hel a lot, not only for me but also for other people on this forum.
i hope you guys can help me, i really like this program!!
Greets,

Chi80, unfortunately the *2.5 zoom jumps break the logic of what is compatible (zoom levels need to be *2), so Baidu, and therefore MapBar are incompatible.
These two look like they could be (particularly the Google one):
http://api.51ditu.com/js/maps.js
for
http://maps.51ditu.com
and
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/maps2.63.cn.js
for
http://bendi.google.com (using http://web.mapabc.com/localsearch/thememap.jsp which does not appear to be queryable directly)
If anyone wants to do a bit of reverse engineering and make sense of the Bendi URLs (http://mapb.mapabc.com/mapabcgoogle/...g?p=iAIcLAClCL) I’ll put it in.
strikerranger, place the generated POI file inside the map directory (then choose it on the PSP - see Map This! manual).
circle to list POI files
x to select
triangle to show/hide POIs in map view
@in7ane
In some directions on map24 theres a , or a ;
in it. when you write them can you replace them with a space or something else?
the header of the files look like
#
!IMAGE:waypoint.png, <-------- 10,5, fails
!WAYPOINT
#
and at the pois the 40,20, fails
nforce100, I think you may be running an older version of Map This! (tested POI and dir with large and small icons without size values) - make sure to get v02b from http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...t=33947&page=9
If not, post your POI/dir file here, and I'll take a look.
In Map24, and elsewhere, I replace , with ; do you want to be able to do batch replaces within the grid?
Yes, a manual would be handy - especilly if it can be stuck on a wiki somehwere (http://www.wikibooks.org seems like a good option, or failing that wikihow)
looks like 51ditu is definitely usable:
http://52ditu.googlepages.com/english.htm
ah okay. i run the newest version of map this.
but on some coordinates the psp hangs out. when i do the 10,5, sometimes it works sometimes not. hmm
then i must look what it is.
as german i must replace ö with oe ä with ae ü with ue and ß with ss cause map this
couldnt show them:
do you want to be able to do batch replaces within the grid? <--- yes! a box where you can write in what things in the grid you want to replace in all sentences!
For some reason I could not reply your either.. so you may just want to communicate thru this thread untill this get's sorted out..Quote:

when i start your program i'm using the maps download.exe and not the vshost.exe that also give's an error.
i hope you can give me answeres.

Please contribute.
I'll parse in deniska's Map This! manual in a sec if that's ok.
i fixet all the problems.. i'm so close now, when i'm loading the data in "map this" the psp is waiting waiting....... black screen, what happens... i know for sure that the cordinates are oke, sombody else with the same problem ?
greets,
InsideR
nforce100, I've put in the replace (and the 4 you specified as one button) into:
http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/gmdl0.2.13a.zip
strikerranger, I suspect you are not running the latest Map This!
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...t=33947&page=9
get v02b_EBOOT.zip
replace EBOOT.PBP in /GAME/mapViewer/
deniska, chi80, there is also the, disabled for now, Baidu tile code if somebody is looking at Chinese sources.
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/att...1&d=1158729545
it will get all the sub tiles automatically.
i hope Deniska's MapThis could support this maps,
even if without GPS support.:)
great! Thanks a lot in7ane! Youre the man :D
it seems that more and more ppl get interested :eek:
I have more good ideas. Let me know if you want hear them!
Thanx a lot in7ane and deniska for the link and tips, gps works perfect now and the directions are verry simple to use. keep on the good work, i love map this and the whole system.
btw .. are you guys making a newer version of mapthis in the future ?, will be great !!
Thanx for all the hlp,
greets,
InsideR
in7ane,
thanks for the wiki page and all the effort you put in to this development...
Strikerranger,
about updates - I am aware it's been a bit of slowdown on my side - I got really busy at work.
But the project is far from dead - you'll definitely see updates to MapThis! in the future... How long -hopefully not too long ;-)
I had a PSP.Brick Virus on my PC. Not from here!!!
Users should install an antivirus before they send files
to psp!!!
Baidu Maps
An example of the incompatible zoom jump:
http://mappng.baidu.com/maplite/mapb...5_11/14_28.png
to
http://mappng.baidu.com/maplite/mapb...3_28/10_44.png
(you can not rescale the second image to fit in the bottom left quarter of the first)
But that’s not all:
http://mappng.baidu.com/maplite/mapb...3_28/11_45.png
to
http://mappng.baidu.com/maplite/mapb...6_57/22_41.png
to
http://mappng.baidu.com/maplite/mapb..._115/44_32.png
10zoom x = 113 * 50 + 11 = 5661
10zoom y = 28 * 50 + 45 = 1445
11zoom x = 226 * 50 + 22 = 11322 = 2 * 5661 (OK)
11zoom y = 57 * 50 + 41 = 2891 != 2 * 1445 (BROKEN 2890)
12zoom x = 452 * 50 + 44 = 22644 = 2 * 11322 (OK)
12zoom y = 115 * 50 + 32 = 5782 = 2 * 2891 (OK)
The logic seems broken – inconsistently so as well.
I’ve enabled the somewhat broken support for what’s there, but to be of any use we really do need Google or 51ditu tile URLs made sense of.
http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/gmdl0.2.13a.zip
nforce100, sure, any ideas are certainly welcome.

Re: PSP.Brick see (may not be the virus):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psp_hom...rojan.PSPBrick
And whatever you run - don't just run some random exe's - make sure you have the source too.
ahh okay. Think it was the downgrader.
* Language support
* Save files while downloading directly on
cardreader/psp
* at map24 there are sometimes double coords or more
* a way that you can show your saved icons with a tiny preview example: in poi when you take icon ....
you see a tiny preview
more will come :)

i could try to made sense of 51ditu's URLs..
FYI,
here is a list of subway maps for major cities:
http://www.engadget.com/2005/10/02/p...und-the-world/
I did a sample convertion of the sydney map (below) just to test gmdl tool...
Basically, you need to resize it to a 512,1024,2048, 4096.... square; save as png and let gmdl convert it..
Search around chinese forums - maybe someone already hacked it...Quote:

You can download directly to wherever (will crash on the check though but otherwise it's fine, I'll fix that and add a set directory button), just put in (G = drive letter) "G:\PSP\GAME\mapViewer\maps\_MAP NAME" into the text box (should work for POIs too - I'll put in a drop down maybe)
Can you give me an exmaple query for Map24 (and the site/language) which gives dupes?
Yes, icon previews are on the pending list.
I was wondering if it would be possible to adapt the Google Map Downloader to download images for Map This ! from a ESRI IMS server ?
I have access to a IMS server with detailed maps for my country and I was wondering if I could use your tool for this ?
I was hoping for Map24 support, but seeing the strict Licensing I guess I will have to go another route.
Well, count me in for translation for Portuguese. I guess I can help with Spanish and/or French if there are no one speaking these as mother lang's here...Quote:

Thanks for Map This!
heey,
i'm using the program now for 2 weeks and it's still fun, no problems with it. Just a little problem, when i made a deriction, and the zoom is 0 there are 601 poi files. then i put the cordinates in my psp and the psp show me the way to my direction... but, the gps software is showing me 250+/- poi files, and then i have to refresh my screen, not a big deal, but for other people using my psp it's pretty weird and they don't now what to do.
can i fix this problem, or should i wait for a update ?.. i'm a noob :p i really don't now ;)
InsideR
Directions from Google now have the distance remaining to next way-point, and remove excessive path points (so you can have a long road mapped out without ending up with thousands of POIs).
kulfsson, if http://www.esri.com/software/internetmaps/index.html is an accurate representation of what your ESRI source would provide, it seems that the map image is generated on demand, and not as tiles. So if you can export a larger than screen image you could then import it as a custom map (with a bit of lining up). If it can be made to generate tiles rather than the single image - then yes, I could probably adapt the program to import them.
nforce100, removing map24 dupes is now a (default) option, although they are valid points - with different directions.
If you do not put in the map/POI/directions name the set/save dialog box will now appear (allowing to save directly to the memory stick for example).
translation.txt works as follows:
to create:
click Generate translation.txt
edit the translation.txt file, the format is as follows:
FORM_NAME.CONTROL_NAME(ORIGINAL_TEXT)=TRANSLATED_T EXT
ORIGINAL_TEXT is just there for your information, but does need to be there for the file to work, ()= is fine
lines without TRANSLATED_TEXT are fine - they are ignored
sample file:
GMdl.size(w)=
GMdl.UserMode(Advanced)=Other Optons
to load:
drop translation.txt into the application directory
run the application
to save after load:
move translation.txt out of the application directory
click Generate translation.txt
translated values are preserved
new/missing controls are added - this is so that you can upgrade your translation.txt files
What doesn't translate: dialog boxes and other forms - will be in the next version
Icon previews still pending :)

strikerranger, maximum number of POIs per file is 400 as of Map This! v0.3. I'll see about putting in an option to split files into chunks of 400 for the next version.
I click download files and it says 'already there'.
I check my folder and it isnt, what am i doing wrong?
Thanks.
EDIT: ive read the Wiki, still doesnt save.
I made a german Translation.
Is it useful or should i change something?
Nice work, in7ane!
"I click download files and it says 'already there'.

same with me
@in7ane
Can you make a support for
www.viamichelin.com ?
They have really good maps and pois
@danastasiei
When you load your map in an other directory you have you write a name behind it!
Like C:\mypath\_MAPNAME <-----
SHAKIRALOVER, danastasiei, that was a bug - thanks for catching that, it's now fixed (you can specify/create a folder and as long as it's empty the files will be placed inside of it).

nforce100, thanks for the translation, I'll put that up on the wiki. As for Michelin - the tiles are not Google compatible, so although their maps are great (house numbers) it wouldn't be of much use in the current setup - I'll take a look at the directions/POIs though.
@ins7ane
thanks for taking it :)
great work again!
When you make the translation.txt you couldnt
change the jump from advanced to basic and back.
the first button is in german when you click it it
changes to english and nothing happens. after a
click again you can change in advanced mode.
Some of them couldnt be good translated cause they are to long in german. when i change them then the text is reaching in to the write box.
Some things i didnt translated cause this.
for example: lat lon is in german Breiten/Längengrad
Ill put it up after the basic thing.
