Constant Freezing

My Info:
Mobo: T071
Firmware: 3.40 OE
EBOOT: PSP-290 Version .499
GPS Device: None yet but I have a 290 coming and the FAKEFEED set to 1
Also I have the newest, I think, usbaac.prx and usbgps.prx files.
Mapthis! is in GAME340 folder and firmware is set to 1.50 kernel have tried 3.40 kernel, have also tried GAME folder with 1.50 and 3.40 kernel

MapThis! will load fine, I can load the maps it came with and any of the maps I create. And I can zoom and scroll around. But about 10 seconds after I load them they will freeze.

I see a lot of issues with 3.40 on the board. Is there a way to back track to DA firmware 3.30? Also, what firmware is optimal, 3.30 Rev A or Rev A2?

Once I upgraded to 3.40 OE from 3.30 OE mine also started to hang much more often (this is a TA-082) when zooming in and out. I'm going to try and get another memory card and see what happens. But there's also another thing that is not very clear to me - what do the LOC numbers really mean. I understand that it stands for Location but what do the 0,1,2 mean. It seems that my PSP gets a fix with 1 or 2 much faster than with 0.
---------------------------------
3.40OE TA-082 with PSP-290
.499 Mapthis with 3.40 PRX

I have 3.40 and gps-290
I experienced freezing but I think it was something to do with my maps
I recreated a map and placed it on psp and it is fine now

Also it could be something to do with the speed of the map retrieval - if you MS is fragmented.

Try this:
Connect PSP up to PC and copy then entire PSP contents to a directory (c:\psp-temp)

Once completed - format the stick using the PSP

Connect PSP up to PC and copy then entire PSP-temp directory back to PSP

I got the 8 gig stick and takes about 10 minutes to copy - 5 seconds to format - 10 minutes to copy back
*stick is pretty full

I ended up getting back to 3.30 OE-A.
Then I did some kind of flash formatting thing.
Then I took all of my crap off, formatted the card and then put the crap back on.
Now it's performing a lot better, but still freezes every no and then.

My card is a Sony MemoryStickPRODuo High Speed 2GB.

Do you think I need maybe a Sandisk instead?

I have 3.40 OE and TA-079 mainboard, mine freezes sometimes and every freeze occurs when I'm zooming in or out on a map, I think it is a little bug..
But this is homebrew and it's normal for it to have bugs, I'm sure Deniska will fix this on the next release.. :)

Try a smaller map
Or recreate your map
It *might* the map file could be damaged when it froze while it was accessing it, leaving at corrupt.

I dont experience freezing any more. And I am using Hybrid Maps

I am using a Sony Memory Stick PRO Duo
8gb MagicGate

It's a little slower than my 1 gig card but I prefer space over speed

What are "Hybrid Maps"?

Satellite + street renderings.
These are stored in JPG, while "street only" is in PNG ( generally )

Here is a little evaluation I did a while ago on MemoryStick attributes... You can answer your question after reading this:
