this cable would work with MapThis! and M1000 but it would not charge the gps unit...

Nope

I just got that cable myselve for a Holux M1000 unit and some extra Phono plugs with serial from the same shop, im thinking of building my own cable and while im at it i can try to hook up Power so the GPS gets power too and charge the battery if thats possible

It is easier to get a spare battery.

I also recived my Cables i ordered from http://pc-mobile.net/pspgps.htm

I ordered this cable and some other stuff to experiment more with my PSP-290 GPS with the Extentioncord and build a Serial cable with chargerfunction both for the PSP and the Holux M1000 as well as letting the Holux work as a GPS unit at the same time ut charges the internal battery:

GHPSP - Holux GPSlim 236/240 cable for PSP
Code:GHPSP - $ 16.50

Ready made DIY Mini-USB Extension cable for PSP
Code:PSPUE1 - $ 16.00

Remote/serial/headphone plug
Code:CPSPC0 - $ 5.00

Shipping was around: 40 Sek / 4 EUR / 5 USD and The grand total including shipping was around 300 Sek / 30 EUR / 40 USD
and i got the package about 4-6 days after i placed my order so it was quite fast

yup u can charge the gps but the question is where u wanna draw the power from? psp? tat would pose a voltage problem.
i had mine hook up to the car lighter and it charges both the psp and gps and also at the same time connects the gps to psp. its a mess of wire but it works!

I was actually thinking of getting a Y splitter for the cars 12V AC outlet

*Like the one in the middle of the picture below for starters.

And from that one to two connect borh a USB charger for my PSP and one GPS charger

But when i finish the cable i want to build "if i can spare some time" it will have USB + Power for the Holux and one power lead to the PSP built in one cable, and it will take power from the cars outlet

As a bonus ill embedd Audio output for my stereo so i can hear the GPS in the stereo *lol*

I just tried the M1000 Holux on my lunchbreak without success

I used this cable:
http://pc-mobile.net/ghpsp.jpg <-- 236/240 GPS Cable

And i downloaded 0.5 and put the MapViever folder from GENERIC_HOLUX_GPS_VERSION into my Game150 folder.

The program starts but no Sats lock on

And I start the Holux before entering MapThis.
