Map This! v0.3

[Russoxley187]

Not a problem, the self made GPS cable actually doesn't use the audio jack, but only two of the 6-pins, the audio jack uses other 3 lines (pink/red/black).

Well,

My GPS cable works correctly all the time, and I tested that theory several times.
I was playing some music an then I plugged in the GPS cable.
The sound went off...
MAybe my Cable is different, not sure, but it does not work for me.
I use the Audiojack as an Line in to my Car stereo.

deniska, if you are releasing 0.4 before Friday (off for a few weeks then) and want to bundle a correspondingly versioned map download app I've put one up on (I'll trigger the auto update as soon as Map This! 0.4 is released):

Functionality wise it's the same as the latest GPSFS one.

is the cable attached to the GPS receiver? if not, sounds weird since all 6-pins are open in both case(w/ w/o cable)

[Russoxley187]

its not, but let me try it again..

[Russoxley187]

nope,. it did not work,
I tried both ways, with it connected to the GPS and without...

Actually, the phone jack seems to trigger the power on the serial port in PSP, ie w/o the audio jack the GPS communication does not seem to work....

bugs of 3.99 EBOOT.PBP

1. crashed when pressing O under "select map" mode

2. when "hold button" is in its position, GPS doesn't work

3. in menu mode, up/down buttons are over sensitive for me

4. if we do have POI files in a map folder, "NONE" should not be displayed in "Select attraction type" menu.

hopes

1. when the cursor is on a POI, press X to edit its content

2. under "POI search results" mode, it's good if the description of POI can be displayed. Also, the "POI search results" mode cannot properly display POI files generated by in7sane's map downloader. Format mismatch between self generated POI files and those by in7sane's tool?

3. on a POI in GPS driving mode, it can play a small WAV file together with displaying the text description of the POI, and maybe in7ane can use microsoft's "Text-to-Speech" engine to convert the text direction for POIs, such as those generated by googlemap, to small WAV files then we will have voice direction(even it has to be pregenerated and saved to PSP)

4. can select multiple POI files to display

5. maybe can support kml/kmz POI file format since it's used in google earth?

6. has a power saving "GPS record only" mode in which only gps recording is working but GPS navigation/screen display off. useful for hike tracking.

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback...Nice finds..will try to fix it ASAP.... lol I did not realize people use hold button..since mine is broken..(psp fell down)

As to "hopes" section... well, I'll try to implement some of it eventually...

Bug: GPS-function, when I use this, the GPS-point-Icon is : disappeaing or showing in nord-direction when I am not driving in nord-direction. I can take a picture, if you want. This is only happen in the "Toggle North up"-mode.

Deniska,
I have a question for you.

I remember somebody a while ago asked about Map This working on FW 2XX. He was told that he needed Kernal Acces for it to work in the GPS mode.
Here comes the question.
I have two PSP's, one uses ,Dark_Alex's Custom Firmware 2.71 SE-C, the other is a Ta-82 2.71which I do a reverse Devhook on to emulate 1.5 FW.
When I devhook I can also Load ISO's, which I was told I would only be able to do having 1.5 Kernel Acces.
But it works fine. I tried Mapthis this moring and it gave me first a BAD then No for GPS signal.
What do you think?
Do you think it can be made to work with DEvhook emulating 1.5
When you go to check the FW, it tells you 1.5. Not like the otehr homebrew enablers.
I think its called HENB
