Are you sure you are not reading gps data from a file? (check you config.txt)
I'll fix the menu speed...
geolookup is based on TIGER line data from US Census bureau.. They only have data for USA..
I am not aware of any free source of this kind of information for the entire Europe.. so the short answer is no.. Perhaps in the future we could work something out for some european countries if some reliable data sources are found..
Hey all, i was just wondering if it was a bug or supposed to be lik ethis, but when i have a POI on screen and I move the cursor around, the POI disappears, then comes back when the cursor stops.
It's not a bug... Actually, the idea was borrowed from Maplus software. It speeds up the map scroll, especially when there are alot of POIs displayed...
and you can still see the streets you are moving to even if they are clottered upwith POIs
Ahh..thanks for the clearification, also..should have stated this earlier, but it just reminded me, the same thing happens whne i have the increments setup as well..im guessing its for the same as the map scroll speeds?
Thanks for the update deniska. Would it be possible to implement a toggle for this behavior between the old way and the new way? I can see the benefits of both. Also, do the POIs disappear while on the move in GPS mode? I still have to make my cable so I can't test it myself.Quote:

I'll think about the toggle...Quote:

As to cygwin.. chances are - some of the required components are not installed in your setup...
Check your error messages - see what it complains about and add it to the installation...
Sry, the fault with the out of range screen was my failure 8) forgott to edit the config, you´r right.
Can´t we extract the geodata from existing map-material or is this not possible, there are no standards? i´ve some tomtom maps from europe, someone must only decrypt 'this' file container, i work a bit on it with some study partners wich are in the ban of mapthis to ;) thats a sooo great project, we must help anybody who work on it...
Here is the most recent source code, since people requested it...
It's a bit messy though...
I would prefer to stick to free/legal map data sources.. but again if you have any knowlege on how to extract geodata from tomtom maps I am willing look in to it... (I need real solutions though)Quote:

And, who will thread us? The geodata can come from elsewere. Tell me if i´am wrong.
will post a solutuion if i found one.
deniska, when you want can i send you the "interesting" data.
As far as I can tell, the error msgs aren't asking about adding components. This is what I get after entering the command:Quote:

Thanks deniska, I suspected that was the problem shortly after I made my post. I've installed wget and now it's downloading away!
Edit: Are there any other necessary components in order to use this script? I installed the zip component hoping it would fix the following error msg, but I guess it wasn't enough:
Edit 2: After installing every component for Cygwin, I still get the error above. :(Quote:

Just wanted to let everyone know....
Make sure you pass capital letters in state abreviation ("CA" and not "ca")Quote:

The error msg is actually after I've already downloaded the census files. I fixed the CA/ca issue and after it downloads the files, it gives the error I quoted. I'm at work right now but I'll check on "cat" when I get home. I'm pretty sure I selected every single component in the Cygwin install though.Quote:

I have cat.exe in my /cygwin/bin/ folder. I'm assuming that's the "cat" you're referring to?
Hello! Deniska, I have a question I have bought the sony gps for my psp, I live in Mexico and I would like to create a map for mexico city, but I have installed de version 3.03 in my psp, could you help me out, I am a beginner in installing things in my psp, thank you very much.
Tiene 3.03 o 3.03 OE? Hay una diferencia. 3.03 es de Sony y 3.03 OE es el "nuevo" de Dark_Alex. Si tiene 3.03 no puede usar homebrew y no puede instalar 3.03 OE. Si tiene 3.03 OE, necesita esperar por la nueva version de MapThis. Todavia no hay la abilidad de utilizar la USB GPS de Sony en MapThis. Tal vez esto mes encontremos la nueva version. Deniska todavia no ha recibido su USB GPS en el correo.Quote:

I don’t think I’ll get the wrapped up geodata app out very quickly (I want to go through the code and see what all of it does so that I can have other sources – the Canadian one mainly). But as the TIGER data is free – it may be an idea to just create all the state files and post them? Also, if a single file for the whole of the US is created – how bad will the performance be in your opinion (it’ll take quite a while to create as well I imagine)?
For the time being, a vapourware screen: http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/...s/geodata1.png
And a quick request – could the maps and poi menus be alphabetically sorted?
About the large geodata files - -in my estimate, the data for entire US will take up ~600-800MB, so it may be too much for most memory sticks out there...Quote:

If someone has a reliable webserver with ~800Mb to donate for this - then we could pre-process all US data and zip in numerous files - 1zip per county.
You application would figure out which counties to get, by comparing map's span with county limits lookup file (which could be generated easily once all county data is processed). Once all county files are downloaded, you'll have to unzip them and re-package them with pretty simple algorithm given in compr.c (somewhat similar to gpsfs)...
is there a way to get a full map of one state without having to do it piece by piece? I've been looking for another way, but just cant figure it out. I have a 1gb mem stick so I have some room.
deniska, the preprocessing setup sounds good - then have a torrent of the whole lot (so people who make a lot of maps can reduce the traffic load) and the individual files I'll put up on .mac (and get another 1 GB of storage and extra 15GB/month traffic to see how it goes, and 250GB/month if it ends up being popular) and have them automatically downloaded and packaged from there for individual maps.
Let me know if you can process all of them and generate the county limits lookup file. In the meantime could you give me a sample with a few county files separately and then them packaged together (running stuff under Cygwin is not my strong point).
hello all, my friend just came back from japan and gave me the gps for the psp as a gift. i knew it wasnt going to work but i acceped it anyway as most of us would. my question is will anyone ever make a homebrew to use it in north america or have already? any links or news would b great,thanx
deniska is a beast btw. great app man
johnmph,psyberjock and myself are making some progress with PSP-290 API calls, so stay tuned..
There is more info available @ ps2dev.org forums..
thanks man. if you need it i can b a north america beta tester. lol
wow thank you! your spanish rules! :thumbup: what do I have to do to install de 3.03 oe? I have the 3.03 sony's.
where do i get the canada map for map this and hooking up the slim240 is the same way as the bigger version right??
Great job!!!
3.03 de Sony = esperar. Ya no puede utilizar nada sin UMDs. Pero no seinstalar mas las otras versiones de firmware. Si espera bastante, estara una solucion.Quote:

cool, PM me the info on how to deliver it to you...
Perhaps an ftp upload (with login)?
Hi Deniska.
Have tested out your latest Beta release.
The new layout & GUI is great - data panel is much clearer & easier to read - very good.
However, I have noticed 2 bugs (I am using 2.71 SE-B by the way):
- The trip timer comes up with a value of -1874 (or something like that) when starting the program - way out of wack.
- The average speed indicator is not working at all now.
Otherwise, everything else is fine.
Cheers, Chris.
I put together a small program which illustrates how to retrieve GPS data from psp-290 GPS receiver...
The program is greatly influenced by research and hacking done by johnmph and psyberjock from ps2dev forums (http://forums.ps2dev.org/viewtopic.php?p=49724)
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/images/screen1.jpg
http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/usbgps.rar (copy the link in to the browser window)
Basically, the date/time fields seem to be stored in 2-byte shorts bytes 0-12
Latitude, Longitude and Altitude stored in 4-byte floats starting @ byte 24
The speed& bearing (also floats) seem to be located @ bytes :40,44..
Azimuth is also a short, while other sat info seems to be stored in single bytes...
The only problem for me so far is that the longitudecomes out as positive 355.**** instead of -74.**** which is supposed to be around my area...
Perhaps some byte order is screwed up.. Could someone take alook?
The program requires usbgps.prx & usbacc.prx to be copied in to
ms0:/camprx directory and must be run under 2.71+ kernel (I tested it with 3.02 OE-A with 2.71 fw prx modules for usbgps)
It also dumps the data from both data buffers [48 & 160 bytes per cycle] in to test.dat file in the camprx dir.
viewer.c contains some code to parse the test data file for those who wants to dig in to this issue...
I have plenty of space too, if you need it.
Let me know
For those who are trying to run the cygwin geodata scripts - there is a bug in geo-map.shQuote:

Was playing with this last night to no avail...but I am running 3.03 oe...
I'm thinking I may need to put the files in a 'GAME150' folder, ie. PSP/GAME150 ?
I'll try that tonight...
Got my genuine PSP GPS yesterday too...man that thing is tiny!
run in under 3.02 kernel.. ie put it in GAME302 (or whatever it's called... use 2.71 prx modules for usbgps & usbaccQuote:
