MapThis! is out

[deniska]

I have the same problem as a couple of others here. When I try to activate the GPS function in MapThis, I can't get it working. It works just fine in the "greenscreen program". MapThis says that the GPS function is enabled, but that the data is "bad". I tried the following:

WIFI switch off
No UMD in the tray

Ofcourse I have firmware 1.5.
Now, the problem may be that my GPS has baudrate 4800. I did change the settings.txt file to use 4800, and I recompiled the "greenscreen" program to use 4800 also.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Try the beta version of MapThis and see if it works for you.. (I posted the link to it in one of these threads together with installation instructions)
The beta, has a different parsing logic, that's closer to original gree screen prog...

Deniska, is there a map deletion function? I didn't see it in the tutorial.

If it's possible, it would be a nice feature.

Thanks,

Oh, another suggestion would be to create separate folders for each firmware version that contain the full contents in the download file. That way those people who seem to have a hard time reading the readme file can just copy the contents of their version to their MS. It might reduce the number of questions you wind up getting.

* Yes, I could have edited my other post, but I'm also trying to get up to 15 posts so I can use PM's.
Isn't there a pharming thread somewhere?

Too many things to do, so little time :-)

I think I have might found a BUG... Isn’t supposed that when in TRACK UP mode that the N pointer always point to north? Well, in mine it doesn’t... I think it points exactly the opposite way...

Hello,

I've the same problem.

For me apparently the problem coming from the GPS receiver.

When you have DATA:BAD you need to see if your GPS first orange led are blicking. also you need to put your receiver outside and wait for blinker. you need to have under the program Number of sattelites more than 0 (normally 4 less)

Test it and answer to me.

Hello Deniska,

What's your project for the second version of the software ?

I might have messed up direction of the rotation on the compass sprite..
This would give you bad results if you go east or west...
Well, it's easy to fix with photoshop image editing.. no programming nessesary...

I've tested once more, the problem persists... just don't have shure if it's pointing on the opposite direction or 45º biased - it's hard to tell while driving... :-)

When we're heading North the pointer shows N, so this one is OK.
