let me know! thanks! I also have a very large (550+meg) map of all LA and OC area pretty much from Malibu to Oceanside on all the way in to Santa Ana (a little farther)
we understand deniska :D
three cheers for califrag and bigsness
I currently have Cali, NY and Indiana created if anyone needs it ( haven't had a chance to upload cali yet but I see someone else has already so thats good then).
Let me know if I can help out.

Hi Deniska!
First of all I want to thank you for making such great applications! I've been a huge fan of your work since KETM.
I finally got my GPSlim240 cable made so it won't short out my psp and everything is working! Now that I have MapThis! with GPS I was thinking of a couple "wishes" maybe you could work into a future release.. Please let me know what you think.
1) Arrow Selection Option
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/5...gearrowra2.png
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1...earrow2be3.png
I know it's probably hard or not possible to determine whether you are passing over land, sea or air (or other), but allowing to manually select the arrow choice would be awesome. i'm imagining a file structure similar to:
cursors\
..\land\
..\..\car.png
..\..\arrowred.png
..\sea\
..\..\boat.png
..\air\
..\..\plane.png
..\other\
..\..\ufo.png
..\system\
..\..\crosshair.png
..\..\arrowred.png
though that is a pretty ... complex structure i suppose...
2) Free-Roam (Free-Look) while GPS is ON
Next thing I was wondering if it would be possible to allow "free roam" with the cursor while GPS is on? Currently, if GPS is on and you move the analog stick to view other areas of the map, GPS is turned off.
It would be great if you could view other areas of a map (and GPS-tracking arrow shows in small window like the "North" compass). When the analog stick is released, the map should recenter to the GPS-tracking arrow.
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9...legpsoncu8.png
3) POI Management
And lastly, probably the biggest "wish" on my wishlist, would be the ability to manage multiple POIs from within the MapThis! program... see my animated image below:
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/3...nimate2jc7.gif
That would be AWESOME if you could make this happen! I would pay you to add that feature if it was possible...
I know you are currently busy working on getting the geodata into a more user-friendly application, and I do not mean to distract you from that! I wanted to throw these suggestions out there to see if you were already working on them, if they are planned for future releases already, or if they are even possible.
Well again thanks! If you need me to compile or test or run anything please let me know. I have geocoder program working and MapThis with GPSlim240. Currently running on 3.02 OE-B with a 500MB map of the entire LA area :D
Nice mockups :-)
I'll consider your requests..
1)For now you can swap the cursor graphics with whatever images you have, as long as it follows the same format...
2) I am moving the gps functions out of the main loop in the newer version, so when you move a cursor you don't loose the trip data
3) this is alot of work... perhaps eventually I'll look in to it... but meantime I'll probably just sort pois alphabetically...
Hello deniska! What do you think about routing (autorouting) feature for MapThis app?
There is a lot of routing maps for Garmin devices on the net in *.img and Polish (*.mp) formats.
I understand that routing implementation is a lot of work, but do you have such a plans?
Thanks for you work, it makes my PSP really worthwhile :)
Also, it would be great if you add ability to use different icons in one POI file (for example to indicate on one map different Gas Stations with different icons depending to owner company).
My opinion about switching off POIs during scrolling map - this feature should be optional in application settings since it's not easy to scroll to particular POI and to look at description while you can't see it during scrolling :)
If I'll have to much POIs on screen and scrolling will be slow I'll just switch them off in one click!
The routing was disscussed a few times before, so ..search the forums...
POIs - you can have up to 10 different icons displayed simultaneously... (again see the forums for details)
Sorry, but it's annoing to to keep answering same questions over and over again...
hi deniska! if you could make your program work for the psp sony gps I will pay for your program :) aaaa and also a map for mexico city pleeeease Thanks
If you search the forums, you'll find the version with PSP-290 support, donation thread and instructions on how to download the mexico city map (hint: MSN seem to provide a good coverage of that area)Quote:

Ask yourself this question:Quote:

deniska, I'm using http://glockdancers.com/mapthis/ as a source to feed a local cache (depending on a page with links to the .zip files and the _county_borders files). Let me know if this setup is ok with you (I will distribute with the cache filled and an assumption that anything already in the local cache is final and does not need updating).
A couple of things before I post the app:
(1)
Regarding this:
NOTE:
In theory, 2 or more counties can share area with same zipcode(s), ie you may get the same zipcode filename in 2 different county zipfiles. In this case you'll have to merge the zipcode files with a same name and sort the data inside of them alphabetically by street name.
This does not seem to be the case (eg. 02068.zip 99704 and 02090.zip 99704 are the same)
Could you give me a case where this is not so. To confirm that I do have to deal with both scenarios (where zipcode files are the same and also where they are partial).
(2)
zip.txt does not have entries for every zipcode, eg:
07086,40769504,-74021890, ,,3472,69785
(7th in Manhattan one you posted)
-
Here goes nothing: http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/GeoData0.2.0a.zip
Until deniska confirm this as working, and all the pre-processed files are there, this is experimental and probably not ready for use.
Is there a way to reset the trip time?
---
Nevermind I figured it out
Awsome app in7ane worked great for me :)
I am still dumping the data for different states to http://glockdancers.com/mapthis/ - it will probably take me another week to finish it.Quote:
Originally Posted by in7ane
1) I don't have any examples to prove my theory yet - so for now you could just overwrite the file with the same zipcode name...
We'll see if someone reports a problem with that.
2) I am aware that zip.txt is incomplete...
Escentially, it not cruicial to the geodata creation...
It's just that some adresses would not have city name in them...
If could try to look up/update missing zipcodes via yahoo's geocoder:
http://developer.yahoo.com/maps/rest/V1/geocode.html
examle:
http://api.local.yahoo.com/MapsServi...Demo&zip=11230
But I would not rely on this look up during the runtime - since it is just a demo with limited access...
Some comments about the gui:
I generated a sample file and it worked for my area...
Perhaps you could display the names of the counties on that spreadsheet (using counties.txt file fo reference) - I am sure this could be usefull for some people...
Overwise - good work!
I'm really sorry for disturbing you, deniska. Probably it's time to make a FAQ on main page. Forum post's comments is to tangled data source for this kind of questions.Quote:

Could that be that I somehow changed the focus (I did some scrolling inside the county pane during the first try..) and that messed the program up..
Anyway, next time it crushes I'll catch the error message and send it to you...
deniska, I'm trying to get the UK postcodes (http://www.freethepostcode.org/) into a usable geodata format. A few issues though - I suspect when you parse the lat/lon you assume the longitude is negative, and the search function requires a minimum number of characters (and a street number?).
So far I got the reverse geolookup to work once - but can't replicate that :( If you have time could you take a look and if you have any idea what I'm missing.

Regarding the crash - I suspect it may be due to the county column in the data grid having been edited, but tell me if it happens again and I'll try and replicate and fix it.
Also, files on http://glockdancers.com/mapthis/ are no longer accessible.
Could you confirm that zip.txt is not required in the _map folder on the PSP.
deniska can u help wit this new release cuz i'm way behind......i don't get the geodata thing....wat does it do??? if i search a address on my psp using this release wud it make a POI automatically??? and does the geodata dat u provided on this release w/ the NY map works on any state like CA,AZ,MD, etc...that way i don't hav to make me own cuz the create ur own geodata thing looks complicated....all the cygwin and stuff...thanks!!! also good job on this release!!!
I suppose since I'm in TX I'm S.O.L. with the geodata.
1-click crashes the app; old tiger isnt supported. Oh well I guess I can keep myself entertained with poi's for now.
We make and sell GPS-PSP cable. It supports Holux 236/238/240.
http://www.moby.cn/bbs/files/cable_gpsp_114.jpg
According to our test, Holux's GPS receiver is better than SONY's.
http://www.moby.cn/bbs/files/psphead_gpsp_104.jpg
Now we have shipping agent in USA and the cable can be delivered within 2-5 days.
More information can be found at www.moby.cn

Thanks.
Hi, isn't possible to connect the holux Gpslim240 via wireless?
bluetooth and wireless works both on 2.4Ghz nope`? :rolleyes:
If someone can tell me how I'll gladly do the geodata for Tx and post it here for that RomComZom guy and whoever else. Is it difficult?
- the zips should be again availale for download...Quote:

I'll take a closer look at why your zip lookup does not work in a day or two, once I have time..
There are 2 problems with this setup:Quote:

2) In the zip-data portion you don't populate the street number(s) section so the strtok fails and yeild bad comparison/display... Try putting '0' there - it would not make much sence from display point but should yeild better search results..
Perhaps this zipcode data could be better presented as a set of POIs....
http://www.in7ane.com/psp/GeoData0.2.4a.zip
Now by default points at a mirror of the USGS geodata at http://www.in7ane.com/psp/usgs_tiger/
If it has not propagated to your DNS servers yet you can try http://www.opendns.com/start/
deniska, the UK postcodes were mainly just a test - there's no need to search beyond 300m as until the full postcodes are collected the first part has little use (and the full ones will eventually be spaced less than 300m apart).
Also, could you let me know when you finish all the geodata files and I'll update my copy again.
I'll look into rolling this into the main map download app in the near future (once I have a better idea of how much traffic there is and how to handle the local file cache better).
Sorry for being a noob, but i just got the new Holux gps receiver and I'm trying to set up MapThis! and everything on my PSP and I'm having trouble with the installation and setup. I'm running firmware 2.0 and I just need some help so i can get this running, other than that all the work you guys are doing looks great. this is one of the coolest things i've seen a psp do. thanks.
You'll need to install custom firmware on your PSP or downgrade to 1.5. (the serial port functionality requires some kernel mode call which may not be available in 2.xx FW.Quote:

and got following error on step 2:

I gave it a small map for NYC in step one...
deniska, the problem is this line:
31103,+,+
in NE_county_borders
I have also changed the program to give a more informative error and keep on going.
http://www.in7ane.com/psp/GeoData0.2.5a.zip
Guess I'll need to have a proper testing procedure in the future.
Sorry, wrong post
Aside from the additional usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx and the different kernel in which the homebrew runs in, what are the differences between 0.460 and 0.461S? In terms of the functionality of the homebrew.
Obviously, one uses the PSP GPS-290 and the other Holux GPSlim 236/240.
I'm asking because I've been following the 0.461S/PSP GPS-290, but just now decided to get a Holux GPSlim 240 instead. I figured the bluetooth feature of the 240 will come in handy with my laptop with built-in bluetooth. Plus the fact that Play-asia is taking their sweet time with the PSP GPS-290, ordered it a week ago, isnt gonna be shipped out till next week.
