i have the HOLUX GPSlim 236

when i plug out the serial cable then the gps connection goes to off

and after plugging in it does not come back

a power on/off of the holux does not help eather

only restarting mapthis, ore reinit the serial in mapthis helps

Same here, not a big problem.

Just restart Mapthis.

As long as you'll keep the Holux GPSlim 236 on, it 'll fix within seconds.

This is a development thread - and you are not contributing anything..
posting in the wrong threads will get you banned..
why don't you start with a README file attached to a distribution?

Shame on you for missing my tutorials that ive even added to my signature

On the page just before this i made a post so you must have missed it while dozing off

But congrats, now you have an answer and another signature below this text :thumbup:

Hi all

Now that MapThis 0.501 has come out, I have also made some changes (old and new) to this version.

This changelog lists changes made to the official MapThis, version 0.501.

• No more need for PRX files! These are loaded automatically from the firmware;
• Changed GPS recording:
  
  • Program now records to a POI file instead of recording raw data;
  • POI file can be opened through POI Lookup function;
  • POI file is named using timestamp and is placed in /PSP/COMMON (make sure you have a fix, otherwise timestamp may be all zeroes);
  • Recording takes place every 20 meters and 5 seconds (both must have happened);
  • Trail can be seen on the map when user turns marker on.
• Program ignores MIDPOINT POIs: don't show message plate;
• It reads _MY_POIS from /PSP/COMMON instead of per map;
• The screen doesn't change brightness when adapter is plugged in (only when viewing map);
• In all lists, left and right shoulder button moves the cursor 10 places back or forth;
• In nightmode, "REC: ON", shown during recording, is now green;
• Proximity to POI is now really always in pixels, not relative to pixels at zoom level 1:
  
  • POIs are thus seen earlier if you simply zoom out;
  • It's not possible to simply multiply WARNINGDISTANCE by speed, because the actual distance on the map WARNINGDISTANCE represents differs if you have different maps with different base zoom levels;
  • It's also not possible to calculate distance using real distance instead of pixels, this was too CPU intensive (or at least I couldn't get it to work :P).
• Autozoom makes MapThis zoom in or out depending on your speed:
  
  • In the configfile, the AUTOZOOM directive indicates per how many km/h or mi/h (depends on speedfix) MapThis should zoom in or out. If this directive is missing in the configfile or is set to 0, then autozooming does not happen;
  • The directive AUTOZOOMENABLED indicates whether autozoom should be enabled on startup. You can toggle this setting with R + L trigger;
  • The directive AUTOZOOMHYSTERESIS (from GoDE) indicates how many km/h or mi/h extra/less you have to drive before autozoom happens;
  • In combination with my change to have WARNINGDISTANCE really work on a pixel basis, this can be handy to see waypoints earlier on the freeway .
• Second line in POI can now be 90 characters;
• Support for _DEFAULT POI file, which loads at startup:
  
  • Put this file in /PSP/COMMON to load it for every map;
  • Put it in a map folder for specific folders only.
• Fixed speedlimit to take speedfix into account;
• Removed all the beeps everywhere;
• Do not show _MY_POIS when loading another POI file.

The changed files are: attractions.c, attractions.h, font.c, font.h, main.c, ICON00.PNG, makefile, config.txt

My version can be found at:
http://stuff.nieko.net/psp/mapthis/m...0-%20Nieko.zip

Because I only have a PSP-290, I have not tested if any of this functionality works for generic GPS devices.

Btw., through a bug it is possible to record a manual trail to /PSP/COMMON/_TRAIL_00000000000000. Take the following steps:

• Move the cursor to your starting point;
• Turn on marker to see what's going on;
• Turn on GPS mode without GPS attached (so it doesn't move the cursor);
• Turn GPS recording on;
• Move the cursor to the next point;
• Turn on GPS mode again, a red line will be drawn;
  
  • Like in normal GPS recording, you need to wait 5 seconds and move at least 20 meters.
• Keep repeating these last two points until you're done or bored ;
• Turn recording off;
• If you want, you can move the cursor to turn GPS mode off;
• The trail can now be found in /PSP/COMMON/_TRAIL_00000000000000;
• Previous trails are kept, but will not be connected (no red line);

Because this may be useful to some people, I would like to call this a feature instead of a bug :P

[Codaz]

Great functionality Nieko !

But what do you mean with you removed all the beeps ?

And that screen brightness changing is also a bit weird.
