i would include a video of this guy that has the exact same problem as i do but unfortunately youtube is down right now...sorry....but i will keep on the look out!! thanks!!!

make sure that
1)FAKEFEED is 0 in config.txt
2) NO UMD in drive
3) WIFI switch is OFF

check your map's coordinates against some other source - make sure you have valid lat/lon...

.. and .. make sure that your GPS device has a good fix (Holux changes the blinking pattern of the GPS light)... For example, if Holux GPSlim236 does not have a good fix - it would transmit the coordinates of the last good fix, which may be somethere out of your map's range....

I had the same problem...
I always get the out of range problem when I'm not actually on the map.
Like your actual coordinates are not on the map you loaded.
Load a different one.
Try that...
That should help...

I'm using firmware 1.52 and downloaded mapViewer_v03 and copy the files under 1.5 folder to the MS.

Strangely, when I run the program, it give an error message saying "The game could not be loaded". I tried again by formatting the MS and copying the files to the Game folder.

Still, I get the same error message. Pls help!!!

Cheers, Kelvin.

FW 1.52?
Try downgrading to 1.50.
Maybe that will fix your problem.

what about 2.71 emulating 1.5? Is the hardware preventing the GPS to work? Are there any plans to make it available to the non-1.5ers?

Thanks guys!

GPS functionality requires certain kernal functions, which may not be available in 2.71..
You'll be better off downgrading to 1.5FW and emulating 2.71FW when needed... I think there is some work done in that direction already...

Unfortunately, that is not an option for me. I may get an older, non 082 PSP to have 1.5 and this GPS. Thanks for the help!

In the download tool, navigate to the place you want the map for and select the most distant zoom.
Click the "Advanced" button, then press "get numbers" one. - No you can change the "min zoom" option from zero to higher value ane therefore create less detailed and wider coverage maps...
