New Code Contribution

Deniska,

With respect, I stop posting on the "Tiles not showing" thread, as that got resolved a while ago. With your new code drop (thank you!) I'd like to focus on possibly adding new features / peer-review if it's OK with you. Please feel free to comment any time, it's your project, I only wish to contribute with coding and with your permission...

This first post is to introduce some changes/additions to the non-USB trunk:

- "Relaxed Search" in ADDRESS GEOLOOKUP ( It is enough to "roughly" specify the name of street etc. and it will offer the closest match )...
- Added screenshot to Action Menu (before Help)...
- Map movement speed can be 2x if the left button is being pressed in non-GPS mode...
- Added recording to gps.txt if recording enabled...
- "WIFI MAP UPLOAD" menupoint last in the map list...
- Updated help.txt...
- If startup map is specified, initialize GPS measurements properly...
- Added feedback and graceful exit in case no map direcory found...
- Some bug and minor compiler warning fixes...

Here is the EBOOT.pbp and the sources/help.txt

Regards, MIB.42

would this be for the PSP290 or GPSlim240?

This is for the to the non-USB trunk, thus the GPSlim series. It works with my 240 quite well...

I'm trying out the mod now. Here's what i've noticed. I'm not sure if it's because of the mod or if it's only with my PSP.

I cannot see which item I'm selecting in the START menu.

Also, might I suggest that for the 2x map movement speed, you use 'O' button instead of the left directional button, easier to access while holding the PSP with both hands.

1. Deniska made some changes the 'system' directory, please see attached rar file. Make sure you check&modify config.txt !
2. Circle is used for putting pathpoints. Please see the help.txt file.
3. Attached a new EBOOT.PBP, I fixed a line rendering bug which made the app freeze from time to time.

ok, how about using the "mute/note/music" button?
or, the 'O' button, but only when not in "marker" mode.

Deniska just released the 0.488 beta, is your mod based on an earlier version?

Both of them are doable. I'd want to coordinate with Deniska.

Mine is based on his latest source drop as of yesterday (he marked it as 85), but looking at the code features, it's gotta be very close. I think my bugfixes and new features are really needed, so I am hoping he will eventually incorporate it... We are just working out how/where to drop the code. Regards.

First Source Code Drop

Deniska,

Per our messages, here are the code changes, all marked with '// MIB42'...

ChangeLog :
- Fixed line rendering bug which made my PSP crash several times.
- "Relaxed Search" in ADDRESS GEOLOOKUP ( It is enough to "roughly" specify the name of street etc. and it will offer the closest match ) ( modified address_geolookup2 and relared codes ) : also touched geo-client.cpp
- Added screenshot to Action Menu (before Help) (Lat_Lon__daymon_hourminsec.png )
- Map movement speed can be 2x if the left button is being pressed in non-GPS mode
- Added recording to gps.txt if recording enabled ( fprintf(gpsout, "%s\n", buffer);)
- Modified qsort for map menu to exclude the "== WIFI MAP UPLOAD ==" menupoint to be put to the top of the list (... qsort( options, (optcount-((loadwifi>0)?(1):(0))),sizeof(options[0]),opt_cmp); // To avoid == WIFI MAP UPLOAD == to be put in the beginning...)
- Updated help.txt
- If startup map is specified, initialize GPS measurements properly ( startupmaploaded )
- Added feedback and graceful exit in case no map direcory found ( in readMapListings )
- Adjusted position of text for draw_string( "POPULATE THE FIELDS BELOW AND PRESS [START] BUTTON", 42, 48);
- Minor bug (utils.cpp) and compiler warning fixes

Nice!
I've been meaning to fix many of these items for some time, but never found time...
I'll go over the code changes on Monday and let you know if everything looks kosher..

@MIB.42
As you are supporting deniska in the improvement of MapThis! I thought I might address this in this thread too
I was going to use MapThis! to do some geocaching but noticed that the format of the POIs is slightly different when entering them in MapThis! compared to the format given for the caches:
Format in MapThis is:
N 52.5486111°, E 13.4194444°
What I would need for geocaching is the WGS84 format like this:
N 52°32.916667', E 13°25.166667'.

Is it possible for you to implement a function to toggle between these two formats into one of your next releases?

I have already googled a bit to try and find out how to calculate the three different values DD, DM and DMS.
This is what I found:
Given the lon. in DD E13.41944444°
Take the part after the decimal point and multiply with 60 gives you DM:
0.41944445 * 60 = 25,166667
So DM value is then E13° 25.166667'
Now take the part after the decimal point and multiply with 60 to get DMS:
0.16667 * 60 = 10
So DMS value is then E13° 25' 10''

Vice versa calculation looks like this:
Given the lon. in DMS E13° 25' 10''
Take the second and divide by 60 to get DM
10 / 60 = 0,16666666666666666666666666666667
So DM value is then E13° 25.166667'
For the DMS value calcultion is as follows:
Divide the minutes by 60 and add the seconds devided by 3600
(25 / 60) + (10 / 3600) = 13.41944444
So we get the DD value now is E13.41944444°

It would be super if You could enter POIs in all three values, and if you could also toggle the display to show all three depending on which one you want.

If I read you correctly, this is just expression of degrees with fractions vs. components. I have done this many times so it shouldn't be a problem. I'll look at this unless deniska has done this already...
February 26th, 2007, 22:03
deniska

just updated the code with you changes and posted the new generic beta version at 0.4 release thread... it includes the most recent source code..

As far as DMS goes, you should be able to toggle lat/lon display to DMS by adding DMS=1 to the config.txt file

Feel free to improve it though... ;-)
February 27th, 2007, 16:53

@deniska
Using DMS=1 works fine
Now we can display the coordinates as DD,dddd° (without option DMS)
and DD° MM,mmm'(with option DMS=1)

The only thing missing now would be to display them as DD° MM' SS'' (degrees minutes seconds)
And of course to be able to add POIs directly in these formats with the "ADD POIs" function in MapThis!.

@MIB.42
Maybe You could help out here a little

I'll add DMS=2 to do that. Let you know when it's done.

Thaks a lot.
Could you also implement the possibility to add POIs directly in these formats with the "ADD POIs" function in the MapThis! Menu(the one that pops up when you press start - Add POIs)?

The display is done using the DDMMSS format. There is also a new menupoint from the START menu saying "Change DMS Format"... I will be looking at the Add POIs issue next...

I need some clarification here. May I ask :

- Why would you want to manually enter the long/lat values when MapThis fills that info out for you?

Also, I don't know if you are aware of this, but you can manually edit the _MY_POIS file in the _map directory.
The format for each line is : lon,lat,name,descr

I could make some changes, so that instead of the present :
65.432109877,-87.5432109,Name of the Place,Description of the Place

it could be
65°43'35",-87°54'47",Name of the Place,Description of the Place

... needless to say, both would be accepted...

New code drop

Deniska,

Here is the new code drop :

- New bigfont.png to replace dollar sign with degree
- Little font (msx) 'degree' related changes ( graphics.cpp or main.cpp )
- Change DMS format (0-2) and associtaed menus and displays to support dd.ddddd ddmm.mmmm and ddmmss
- Added ms_write_log function to enable logging. config.txt can have DEBUGLOG=1
- Added plenty of sanity checks in all attached cpp files including logging the problems ( if DEBUGLOG is set )
- display_message X button state clear
- prevent "stuck maps" if map preference coordinates are invalid
- HOLD button check for disabling joystick

Hi MIB.42
I am aware that I can edit the _MY_POIS file in the _map directory and that in fact is exactly what I want to do but I would like to be able to use different formats of entering the lat/lon values because I want to do some Geo Caching with MapThis!
When googling for Geo Caches I noticed that the lat/lon values where given in different values; someties they were given in DD.dddd°, sometimes in DD°MM.mmmm' and sometimes in DD°MM'SS''.
When Geo Caching you get some lat/lon values and start at the first solve some riddle and add the solution of the riddle to your second lat/lon value this will then be your next waypoint. This of course has to entered into _MY_POIS file in the _map directory to find the next riddle.
So to give you an example I will use these values for the DD.dddd° format: 52.5486111, -13.4194444
I would like to be able add this into the _MY_POIS file in three different formats.
DD.dddd° would be
52.5486111, -13.4194444
DD°MM.mmmm' would be
52.32.916667, -13.25.166667
DD°MM'SS'' would be
52°32'55'', -13° 25' 10''

Hope I could clarify everything now ;-)

Hope I could clarify everything now ;-)

So if I "just" modify the _MY_POIS reading part to enable these 3 different type of reads would be enough?

MapThis_0491_beta_src.rar

MIB.42, I merged your recent changes with some minor edits.. (I did not put in the DMS option on the main menu, since we already desisded on the icons for it, plus I don't think that lots of people would switch their dms display too often)..
I did not have much time to test the merged code today, but at least it compiles :-)

Thanks, will test it. I agree on not adding the DMS option, I may even go further, I don't think it should be in the menu at all, config.txt is plenty enough...

I flew again today and right before taking off I added a quick mod; screenshots at every minute, automatically. I put the resulted png's to a movie later ( jpg conv + ffmpeg ), it's pretty darn good.

I am planning on adding this feature in the next rev if you don't mind, saving jpgs with customizable intervals ( 30sec, 1 min, 5 min and 10min ) those than can be played with a slideshow or made into mpgs...

I'll start on the new menu system...

Hey Guys...may I make a suggestion?I have no idea how to code and stuff...but maybe you guys can code some kinda tracking utility into mapthis..like..trace the route one is taking on a trip.that way people can actually see the real time progress of their trip...and maybe use their trip info for future use.use maybe a red line on the maps to indicate how far they have progressed on their journey..that would be really great.

There are 2 things you can do now ( well, Ok, one for the present version ) :
- Record the GPS data, than you can play it back later.
- Also, I am in the middle of adding automated snapshots ( 15sec, 30sec, 1 min, 5 min, 10min ), which saves jpg images which than can be put together to a movie with programs like ffmpeg or can be played with slideshow players. I flew to SD and recorded my trip with 1min intervals (70 frames). It's a pretty good movie... ;-) After I finish the coding to get "release ready", I will ask Deniska to make it available. I am working on better line drawing at the moment...

Can a feature like ETA be developped ?
Garmin Nüvi devices have it.

It calculates how far it is from your destination, from the speed you drive.

It changes negatively if you slow down, and gets better when you speed up.

For example: Estimated time of arrival: 6 minutes, but if you drive 100 km/h it becomes 4 minutes.

What do you mean? The source is included in the tar files.
If you want to contribute, the way we work at the moment is that I submit my code to deniska who than decides on integration.

@deniska and MIB.42
Super work you two displaying lat/lon now works for all three formats:
DMS=0 Displays coordinates in DD.dddddd°
DMS=1 Displays coordinates in DD°MM.mmmm'
DMS=2 Displays coordinates in DD°MM'SS''

But it still is only possible to edit the _MY_POIS file in the _map directory using decimal values I hope it will be possible to do this with the other two formats in the future.
I also noticed that the degree character ° can not be used when trying to enter a POI

But still I must say this tool is becoming more and more professional with each release.
Keep up the good work.

Second that, but the generic version needs to be more stable before we have a new psp-290 version.

Also, i would like to see bugfixes, before fancy new menus ;) !
