Mapviewer:::WIP & screenshot

**deniska** · June 13th, 2006, 23:20

I paused my porting projects and desided to work on a portable map viewer for PSP (code name MapThis!)
Here is a shot from a current (very buggy version):

The application will allow to:

- scroll though 3100x2500 pix map, covering ~ 52sq mi area with city level details.
- zoomout (currently very buggy)
- access area's attractions info (currently just restaurants) with name/address/phone
- mapping to gps coordinates, allowing the posibility of external gps feed
- one map with attrcations data takes ~ 1Mb of space on MS

-application will come with a linux/cygwin script to generate map tiles and data from public sources for given address. The script can be wraped in to a cgi wrapper and therefore turned in to a web service.

Please contact me if you want to lend a USB based GPS mouse for my experiments or want to work on the gps communication part (I want to create a USB driver, so it can be plugged in w/o soldering)
