So..

I need really help in making a ROUTE with pois...

So.. I will make a Route ..

I'm going to the TAB called Direction in in7anes App and I'm Choosing Map24 at te right to create a route..

in the left i'm writing the StartPoint and the Destination and let map24 create a route..

So what must I do now to get the shown route in map24 to a POI File?!

when i'm pressing at the Right on the LIST button then it says ... No POIs !!!!


soo.. when I'm using Google Map to crate the Route it' also actually not working...


and at Local.Life i cannot get a route from a Street to another street.. it's only working with TOwnNames!!
but thats too inaccurately!!

Can someone help me?!


Thank you!!!

Hello all. I was just catching up after some time away. Has anyone setup some webspace yet for sharing maps? Once I find some time to invest in making a map of my major city area, complete with poi's and all the bells and whistles, I'd be more than happy to share it.

and I'd be more than happy to download your shares. When do u think about mapping Toronto CA?

Open - postings of pre-made maps would conflict with google's and other's TOS agreements.

Of course, you could always ask someone to generate a map for you (please don't PM me though ;-)) and use p2p for transfer...

I finally got some free time and inserted GPSFS logic in to MapThis. Here is the link to a current (beta) build: http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/bin/mapViewer_v03.5.rar
(this contains eboot.pbp files only, use it with v03 system files)

http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/...2.15aGPSFS.zip should be used to generate GPSFS map files.

GPSFS (GPS File System) is a container format that we came up with in order to store all map imagery in one file.

Main Benefits:
- much faster PC to PSP transfer speed
- smaller size on memory stick
- faster than zip access times

From this build and on, GPSFS replaces the zip format support.

As I already pointed out, this is a beta build. I 'd appreciate any feedback and help testing it...

So far I only tried it with 256x map, using png tiles.

I tell you what,
I'm gonna have to quit my job to keep up with all the changes and updates you make...
Where do you get the time..
I'll test it out and let you know...

[Russoxley187]

Keep telling me that the zoom level is not avail, or my connection is times out. I might want to try redownloading the map.
No matter how low I zoom in.
Any clue?
Never had that prob with the other versions.
And its on simple not advanced, with google hybrid maps.

deniska, thanks for the update! the file system switch over works great (tested maps 256x to 4x, jpeg and png, missing tiles, directions and pois). Seems to be about a 30% space saving on the MS from just being formatted as FAT32, and I'd imagine a lot better from the default FAT PSP format.

The only issue/not yet implemented that I could find is that the top coordinate bar is always shown (even if there was no coords.txt and therefore x and y set to -1).

Russoxley187, does the previous version still work for you? If it does, let me know exactly what you are doing and I'll try to replicate the error. If not - my wild guess is something like Norton Internet Security is blocking the download connections.

Ups.. forgot to implement top bar logic for the new format... will do the change shortly..
in7ane, tx for the tip.
Russoxley187, try to create a very small map first (4-8x) and if it does not work, zip it post it here so we could try it...
