Roadnav is the only (known to me) open-source software that does route calculation using free TIGER Line data (US only). I checked the most recent builds and so far it failed to plot a reasonable route for a number of destinations... so yeah -for now you are better of asking google for directions....

I got blinded by some posts I read and kept setting th baud rate to 4800 ...never tried the default setting of 38400! Thanks Deniska!
(PSP-3.03 OE-B,Holux240,Mathis0.497beta)

If someone could give some pointers on tools you use for to building the source files, that would be great! Anybody use eclipse?(do state plugins?) to compile the source files.

I use plain cygwin, pspsdk and psplibs all available from ps2dev.org svn.

It's not your fault, ALL guides mention to set Slim 240 to BAUD=4800, that's why I did the same. Now set to BAUD=38400 works fine.

My setting are similar to yours, however my GPS did not follow me neither did point my coordinates. In fact nothing moves. It's supposed to move the map as I move right?

How do I make this thing lock in where I am at? I mean I just move the pointer is around the screen and stays there the whole time.

OK I figured it out, I looked up my address and BINGO it found right on the spot, but the I put GPS MODE ON and the thing doesn't follow me wherever I go to :-(

It says 12 sat-in-view, a bunch of numbers and in SATELLITE INFO fills with numbers as well, except for SNR:00 it's all zeros.

Also Bearing and Altitude shows this "--".

The screenshots I see around has numbers in Beargin and Altitude and got the bars green while mine are red empty outlines.

Please someone help!! I just want the think to follow me!! By the way is MARKER ON to mark the point of departure?

These are my current settings:

3.03 oe-c (about to move up to 3.30 oe)
HOLUX 240
MapThis! 0.498 HOLUX kxploit
BAUD=38400

Mmm... I didn't bother about usbacc.prx, usbgps.prx since HOLUX 240 uses the phone jack.
Of course I didn't forget to congratulate the coders for this wonderful app enhancing even further the functionality of the PSP.

Lastly a few thoughts and question regarding what's planned on the roadmap for MapThis! (lol a map for MapThis!).

1- Music, since HOLUX is taking the audio jack is not possible to connect through there to speakers. How would it be possible to play music in the background while the GPS is on? Would it be possible to, somehow, use the USB for external sound?

2- Even better, is it planned to adapt PSP's gps driver to HOLUX's? Then use HOLUX with the USB and audio jack for music. I mean, GPS signal is GPS wherever right?

3- Would it be possible to have an option in MapThis! do disable Bluetooth on the Holux? I don't think is being used and prolly drains the battery faster than it would without it.

4- Just an hypothesis, I see that 0498 has a Kxploit, which means Kernel mode consequently running faster. Would it be possible to use ME for graphics or some stuff in order to offload processing?

5- Since PSP alreayd has IR keyboard drivers how long will it take to make one for XBOX 360 qwerty thumb keyboard? It would be ideal for text input adresses!!

Ok thank you all, this is my second day trying MapThis! right after getting HOLUX :-)

Yesterday nigth I have tryed Mapthis with the 3.30 OE-A fw, It looks good for the speed in Km/h.

but I sould always get the satellites out my car to fix them...i don't know why

snr=0 probably means that you do not have a fix.
You can tell if you do by looking at your receiver's light (read the manual)

You can't re-rute music through USB but it should be possible to adjust the cable wiress and send audio to some other speakers

You can't control holux from PSP - PSP only reads the holux data.. To write something back - you'll need a much more complicated cable addapter (with some voltage up-converter)

Thanks a lot

Here is version 0.497
Mapthis! 0.497 version

And here is the 0.498 version
Mapthis! 0.498

And by the way, can you be a bit more specific? What Firmware are you using? Which GPS are you using? What motherboard? You need to take in consideration all that stuff. How are you stuck?

This is what happened to me. Got the latest and the Readme said "replace your corresponding EBOOT". Err, WTF?! Nevermind pick the 0.498 binaries somewhere over this topic. It has all the proper folders unlike 0.497 rar doesn't just tell you "Replace EBOOT on your folder" (say wha???!!).

Hi, thanks for describing what's wrong. And also the bars aren't green here they are red. But I don't get it, why do I get SAT info, Altitude, azimuth and more and I can't get those red bars turn Green? I mean if I get the info it's saying that I AM ALREADY detecting the satellites.

And the manual is supposed to be this WIKI? Or there something more that I am missing?

Oh, one last thing, on my 3.03 oe-c everytime I plug in Holux GPS this icon with rounded corners saying POPS (musical symbol) and when I unplug it says POPS OFF.

Thanks again...

Seeing satellites and locking on them are 2 different things.... you need to be locked on at least 3 sattelite to get 1 green bar...
Read your gps manual or research how gps works before you post...
