Deniska who is hosted here at DCEmu and the very proud winner of Neoflash 2006 has posted a new version of his Map This app for the PSP, heres the release details:

NEW IN v0.3
-----------
- Multiple POI icons support - a few types of POI can now be merged in one file for simultaneous display.
- POI files: removed icon size definition (the size is read from the image itself, this should be backwards compatible with prev definition though..).
- speed up in menu responses
- some new parameters in config file:

# THIS VARIABLE IS INTRODUCED TO SMOOTH #
# THE MAP MOVEMENT BETWEEN GPS UPDATES #
# IE THE MAP WILL CONTINUE MOVEMENT IN #
# THE SAME DIRECTION WITH A SLIGHT #
# DECREASE OF SPEED FOR EACH NEXT #
# FRAME RENDERING #

SPEEDFACTOR=0.97

## LOAD WIFI MODULE ##

Been watching this for a while. Just wish I could get the money set aside to buy a GPSlim, which is the device Deniska jerry rigged to work with the PSP.

Life and paintball comes first though

if you want a real gps, it needs the map and the battleship style too

Does anyone know if this could be used with the upcoming GPS unit for the PSP?

This looks VERY VERY good! Amazing work.

Its possible, but I think it might require loading the USB GPS drivers from 3.0 onto a custom 1.5 firmware or perhaps the program can contain this data.

Is there anyone who has tried this program in depth that can tell us how big these maps get? I am downloading them now and they seem like they wont be too big, but its not too far along just yet, could get much bigger by the time it finishes.
