Unofficial MapThis!! (gracefully finished)

@An0nJ0hn
Thanks for the compliment!
I dont know what version they are - I tried using a hex editor to view within the files to see if it had a signature - but nothing.
It works for me.
How that rainy weather with new new cable working for ya?
Here by disney is sprinkling and cloudy- but got locked on in 43 seconds!!!

I added code for speaking in "map up" position - I need to drive around and test it.

Too bad you don't know which .prx files they are. The ones that came with your version of Map This! work for me too. I was just wondering if later firmware version .prx files could work with earlier FW versions. Since you are on 3.40 OE-A I thought maybe you were using later FW .prx's than me. I'm using which ever came with the green screen test for my Map This! .499 beta.

The weather sucks all over South FL today and they are saying it will be the same for at least the weekend. But you know we've been desperate for rain all over FL. I think Lake Okeechobee is like four feet below normal.

The cable is working great! I'm very happy with it so far. Did you see my latest pics (posted earlier today)? I managed to add a spring loaded pin from a charger/stand I had laying around in a drawer. I haven't gotten to add the ground line pin yet but will hopefully get a chance to this weekend. It locks on really fast now and usually has a couple or a few satellites in view immediately after starting Map This! Check out the thread (CPU clock speed) and drop a note letting me know what you think.

Testing your version out for the first time with my cable I got three bars in a steady rain (totally overcast) and under my screened in patio which has a three to five inch thick insulated hard top. Pretty impressive. I wonder why we get such better satellite reception here in FL than others do even outside the cities?

nice...
I might incorporate some of this stuff in the "official version"!

Thanks, I'm gonna try it out.

Also just finished testing it and it's really good, the audio cues are great it's a nice touch, and thanks to the cable I'm getting 3-4 bars indoors a the moment

It's MIB.42 and NOT MIB.48... :-(

I'm not sure what prx version Atari8000 is using, but it's working great for me using psp-290 on 3.03oe-c firmware.

I had the 3.03 prx which takes me 2-10 minutes to lock on, but atari8000's prx version gets me locked onto a satellite within 1-2 minutes. And this is indoors! I did a couple of tests so far, and so far so good.

I only tested the his prx in the unofficial version, so i dont' know whether or not it will work just as good in the .499 version.

Thanks a lot man!

Wow - Deniska
Thanks for the ...whatever..acknowledgment or "okie doke" on my stuff
I was wondering what you thought...then I realize...since me computer hasn't been shut off since my first compile......that I compile in a copy of my PSP on my hard drive..and didn't give out the source

i will upload that with next version...the direction up speaks mode version

I am thinking the STARTUP SCREEN needs a soundtrack too....there is not alot going on in the 1st 15 seconds...on a clear day...in a open parking lot.....well I mean the petri dish of the prefect environment to start up in.

[atari800]

MIB.42 - sorry on the name dealio
MIB...is that initials or the abbr for Management Information Base - I am one of the few that support that...actually None Of My Business
anyways MIB.42.....brilliance...all the tweaking/customize to make things work just right....awesome!!!! You are a f'n hawk when it comes to coding

[atari800]

@lsneakyl

Thanks!!!
I might add a few more "bell & whistles" to this
I am thinking maybe make a "joe sweatsock" version of a package to customize it yourself - left, right,arrive is there.

Well the speaking part is kinda done already ..
but how about - opening screen music???

I cant do miracles like these guys can...but since there is mp3's involved, what about cool "dings and directions"? My GF did the SATELLITE SEARCHING and FOUND voice. I took GOLDWAVE and tossed in the FLANGE mode... also took a wine glass and rubbed finder on top to add to sound effects. Gave it that Star Trek sound a bit.
She is cool - but a chick with the Slight accent, maybe Australian sound....might be cool too. Toss that in the WARBLE in goldwave......F*<K

My new trick to learn (if possible) is 2 mp3's play at same time....basically...my gig is to form sentences


cheers/|\

@Deniska
I was chatting about the "speaking" thing before...you said you and in7ane were working on this. Did you get some code down? PM me if you like a 3rd person on that...PLEASE

@MID.42 (not 48 )
playfile is cool - and I seen some play list capabilities
is there a queuing mechanism? Roll MP3's along...like streaming files names? play-add then play ... type of method?

@An0nJ0hn
PM me if you want to test CABLING versus Connect to PSP tests..... Ya know..what if the CAR (real car) version of the LNB (or GPS component to us regulars) has such a big base that is picks up quicker. And if so...could you make an adapter for it? If it costs $20 for it at the local car place to get/install...with no GPS...and the signal is awesome from the get go, maybe another el cheapo "ipod" destroyer gadget in the making.....


bah - Beer is gotten me talking

To my pals....
Thanks!!
To the MapThis! group....CHEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
