Sorry deniska I am just getting serious about buying a Sony GPS unit and I have a couple of questions about MapThis. First off let me say that I used it a couple of months ago and it was outstanding. That being said, I haven't used it in a while and using it with a GPS unit would be completely different. I see that there are many outstanding features and it is almost as good as a commercial GPS unit from Garmin. If you don't mind me asking what is on your to-do list and what is missing from this program as of right now? I am also trying to get a sense of how easy this will be to use, whether my mom or brother pick it up and know how to do it, and if I actually want to buy the GPS unit for this.
Hey Densika. I just upgraded to firmware 3.10 OE-a and i am using the 3.10 prx's. The green proggy works great but when i got to run Map This it freezes when loading maps then hsuts off. Does map this jsut not work with 3.10OE-A. I havent tried upgraded to the new revision yet. I was jsut wondering if tehre was some thing i could do with out updateing again.
I can answer to some of the question as I am using it right now. The most important thing missing is the route calculator, so for now you have to use an external program on your computer to create waypoints and put it on your PSP.Quote:

One other thing which is missing is the audio system, like which would say direction. deniska spoke about that in this thread:
And for your mom/brother, the program is quite easy to use, has some pretty icons, but it's a PSP, so there are some function (like typing an address) which will be for sure not as good as a real GPS.Quote:

You'll see it after the next update
I hope deniska will rescue me on those problems:
1. I'm running Map This! 0.461s on 3.10OE-A', and I have PSP-290 attached, after loading the maps, it seems never receive any signal from satellites(of course I put two required .prx files in "mapviewer" folder and pressed square key to make the GPS mode ON), the singal bar is aways red. I installed PSP-290 TEST, and it shows my gps works fine(press cross key make gps activated, it shows me several satellites). I tried at least 50 time at different area, in my car, the open air...but still no luck in Map This!.why?What should I do?
2. Sometime(more than 80%) my PSP will shut down itself when it's loading the map or I made the zoom in(after sucessfully load the map), so I tried Map This! 0.47(for PSP-290) and 0.48, same problems, is this normal? Is there any settings I should change in 3.10OE-A' Recovery Mode?(BTW, my PSP is PSP1000, the first release version from Japan, and using 2G genuine Sandisk memory stick.Does this issue only happen on this original motherboard?)
3. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (Greater Toronto Area), what variable should I use for "INITLOCATION"?(PSP-290 TEST shows me location = -1)
4. Thank you for all your wonderful work.
Hope deniska is updating the psp-290 to keep up with Generic version, so bugs will be out.
