That's exactly what I am looking at at the moment. It's not a bug though, but a simple behaviour decision ( as in trying to read without giving up )...

I have exactly the same "problem", unfortunately looking at the data reported from the gps, this is a gps issue and not MapThis!.
( If you get satellites only in a small cone, the altitude computation becomes very inprecise due to limited bit representation of the numbers. Check how gps devices compute altitude... )

And how can you read gps from file, where to place that file ?

Search for FAKEFEED.

A few bugs still there:
Speed isn't correctly presented in KM/H. When i drive 55 km/h in my car (corrected with garmin) Mapthis says i'm almost driving 70 :S

Also, altitude isn't correctly displayed. At my home i'm at -0.8 meters ? I live almost on the highest point of the street.

Hope you can give me new digits (other than supplied in config.txt) so i can correct this.

Thanks to leaod for the very nice graphics, only i liked the previous red arrow a bit more than this blue one.

Track-up mode now works great !, the compass is nice.

But it says Bearing: NE and then in GPS screen, Bearing 67, isn't that a bug ? Or are wind directions digitized ?

111 mhz is working fine !, i think it fixed MUCH faster now, but i have to test that on other places and trips.
My first fix was done UNDER 2 minutes !!

Keep up the good work.

Codaz;
Here comes red arrow ;)
Just replace that for your existent arrows.png file.

Lol i liked the form factor, not the color ;)

But hey thanks anyway !

Ok a few more testing done. Now i have the 3.10 prx files (both) and it's acquiring a fix VERY fast.

But why should we use different version prx files ? For example 2.71 usbacc.prx and 3.10 usbgps.prx

Whats the difference between the prx files and what functions do they have ?

Ok some further test results:

-If you're gps state is OFF in sattelite info screen, take off your psp-290 and reclick it onto your psp, it has to say activating and then it should be ON, and works good.

-Best loc = 1 in GPS mode.

-GPS state on doesn't mean your position is calculated, you have to press square to activate.

-Poi's are still not working correctly, placed all icon's for 3000 gasstations (and in that system/config folder) in correct order, and they don't show up if i load them.

-Mapthis chrashes in track up mode, when map is turned about 65 degrees to the right, with gps on, and then you move the analog stick. It could be a defect tile that i ran into.

-If you have a fix of sattelites, you can set the CPU back to 222 or 333, for better map scrolling.

-111 mhz is way better for you battery, i think 6-7 hours of driving can be done, also consider turning your screen brightness to 2 or 3, not 4 (on 3.x OE)

-Calculate route function doesn't work
I set a marker, and then another one and i press the circle button for the next waypoint, and then the right shoulder button, but no route is calculated or plotted.
Help feature of mapthis doesn't help me out on that.

Ok time for some sleep, good luck !

I've been away for some time. Just downloaded v.0497 to overwrite my 0460. Now i get "game could not be started 80020001" message. No matter what I do I get the error. v.0460 was working just fine for me. Thanks

Hi deniska, hi MIB.42
I just tested the new version and must say you are doing a great job with this tool.
Now it is possible to enter POIs in all three formats.
The only drawback here is that the length is limited to 10 characters.
I noticed this when I tried my first geocaching tour today and wanted to enter the second waypoint it was not possible because the field length had to be a minimum of 12 characters to enter the waypoint correctly :( So I had to stop this first geocache because it was not possible to edit the _MY_POI file. Hope you will get rid of this limitation in one of the next releases:thumbup:
My wife was like this:rofl: when she saw me struggling to enter the next waypoint.
I promised her you two would help me out here;)
So maybe it will be possible to enter up to 14 characters in one of the next versions.
I guess with 14 characters you will be able to enter every POI in any of the three formats.
Thanks a lot for this great tool.

Very great work, fabulous software! :thumbup:

But in France the speedlimits on the motorways are in Kmh...How to switch Mph <--->Kmh on the display panel ?

Thanks.

As described in the FAQ:

Speed Conversion, edit your config.txt:
SPEEDFIX=1.151 gives you miles per hour
SPEEDFIX=1.8523 gives you kilometres per hour

I added this, possible to enter up to 18 characters. Are you using the generic or the 290 version?

deniska, add_poi_menu, int lens[4]= { 37,43,18,18};

Thanks a lot MIB.42
I found the place were you changed the values in main.c and I would compile the source myself if I knew how to.
I've tried to setup my cygwin/psptoolchain/pspsdk development environment a few times already but everytime when I try to compile the source I get loads of errors with file or directory missing etc.
Could you please post a link to a site that explains step for step how to set up the environment and were to place the source files, which libs are needed and where to place everything? Or send me a pm with instructions if possible.
Bye the way I am using the generic version.

MIB 42 : Thanks for your answer, lot of others wrong questions are very clear now for the poor French guy I am ! :thumbup:
