Drivin' my PSP around...

mhh i cant really get your script to work. is it possible that theres a script missing?
it asks for a script called urlencode.sh .

Use this...

oh. i thought that this would be something you have coded on your own too hehe. ok. i'll try that later.
which areas do you need to get covered?
or is any area useful to you?

I got enough maps already..
what could be useful is hacking other sources in the same fashion to get different maps and POIs..
For instance MSN mapPoint has similar interface.. or yahoo maps (beta), etc...
IEInspector is a good tool to use for that

Cant get it to work with my unit.

The setup that works for me was the original GPSviewer that was untouched except the 38400bps was changed to 4800bps. What changes did you make in GPS parsing, etc from then to now?

Also to quit I have to reboot PSP, doesnt acknowledge X when quitting.

PS Not too long after the PSP came out.... Sony released this:

Heh heh... Looks like a PSP without the UMD, wifi.

You'll have to give me more details - what exactly does not work...with the sequence of things you did... Do you get any messages on screen?
Anything in stdout.txt file in the EBOOT directory?

Can you load the maps, zoom in/out?
[select] button usually quits the map or the program...
Also, your WIFI switch must be off to get data thru serial port...
I am assuming you pressed [square] buton to turn on GPS data read function... Also check the gps coordinates on your map against say google maps.... - make sure they are correct..(each map is supposed to have coords.txt file inside...)

Sorry, didnt know about wi-fi switch! (Or how to exit)

Works! Will test more when I have time.

How do I import different maps, say a street-level map of the county in which I live?

Did not I tell you in the PM with instructions?

If you have WIFI: use built in WIFI loader with zoom level of 0,1 or 2
You'll need to enter the gps coordinates of the place you build the map for.
But you can "import" the coordinates from a previously viewed map. So go to that world map I provided with your distribution and find your place, (may use the gps for that) then exit the map with [SELECT] button and go to WIFI option.
Make sure your WIFI switch is ON this time... ;-)
Map size is in tiles of 256x256 pixels, so, for example 16, will get you 4096x4096pix map at the base zoom with 4 zoom levels.
Size must be in powers of 2: 4,8,16,32,65,128,256

Careful - generating a big map can take some significant time and lots of space on your MS...
So start with a small one...
(NOTE: due to a bug, the WIFI upload only works the first time you run it... so you'll need to exit the program to generate another map)


You can generate the maps with w/o WIFI with the cygwin scripts that I provided.
./getmap.sh [latitude] [longitude] [base zoom] [map size]
should generate you a map for your location...
Use base zoom=0 for the most detailed street level...
The script will create a bunch of directories (1x, 2x , 4x...) with map tiles as well as coords.txt file.
Create a new folder in the maps directory on your PSP and drop all those files in that directory.
The folder name must be in upper case and start with "_"..
Alternativelly, you can zip those files and drop them in the maps folder on your PSP... See the world map example, I provided....


Well, I really expect more intuition on you part, for beta testing...
Explaining every little thing takes my time away from coding....and thus not very productive...

I also expect someone from my "testers" to write detailed instructions on how to use different features.. perhaps someone could also brush up on the scripts, to make them more user friendly....

when u do wifi update make sure u turn off wifi power saveing optino, or it will cut off around 50 lol
*after that happend to me i forgot to turn the setting off and i did the map updater again and i have to keep pressing a button so it will not turn wifi off, and there is 336 to download lol* but it does not take as long as i thought it would

great job so far deniska

I could do a German translation for your program if you plan to make it multilanguage..

Localization is not in my immediate plans...
