Map This! v0.4

[felipeou]

My GPS 290 does not seems to work properly here in Brazil.

It takes a loto f time to find a satellite and sometimes don't even connect.

Map this is running without a problem, and psp290GPS_ test too.

Could someboy help me with a hint about the subject? any config that I should try to improve it?

Thanks a lot

try changing INITLOCATION value in config file and see if it helps...

[deniska]

Thanks, I forgot to edit the config.txt on the MS. I had done it for the one on my computer by forgot to copy it over.

Everything is great now, I get about 3 bars indoor. I will try it out on the free way today and post some screenshots. Do you still need help with making a tutorial/wiki for this? I'll try to help with that.

Sure, if you find good/common questions and answers to them - please post them in FAQ thread and I'll add them to the top post in FAQ thread....

hey, ive been working on trying to get a geodata.dat for Florida, but when i do it downloads all the things and then give a error when its trying to put it all together in the geodata.dat file, this is what it says:

FINISHED --15:15:40--
Downloaded: 189,865,259 bytes in 74 files
Extracting tiger data 15:15:40
\nCreating zip files...
cat: ./tep.18184/*.step1: No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove './tmp.18184*.step1': No such file or directory
and thats it. it makes a geodata.dat file but its less that 1KB and has no info in it... can anyone tell me what i did wrong and how to fix it or give me a geodata.dat for Florida? thanks
[UPDATE] i opened the small geodata.dat it created and all it had in it was ##### in case that helps

Deniska, when converted to FT, the decimal for the altitude is partially shown off screen. It's not centered in the box.

Hrm, I actually just realized that I do not have INITLOCATION in my config.txt. I thought it was just because I was using an old version, but then I redownloaded 0.4.6 file from page 16, still no INITLOCATION. Should I just add that in?

Does INITLOCATION apply to the GPSlim (Generic) or just the PSP-290 one?

[deniska]

just psp-290

Hi deniska, I was going to use MapThis! to do some geocaching but noticed that the format of the POIs is slightly different when entering them in MapThis! compared to the format given for the caches:
Format in MapThis is:
N 52.5486111°, E 13.4194444°
What I would need for geocaching is the WGS84 format like this:
N 52°32.916667', E 13°25.166667'.

Is it possible for you to implement a function to toggle between these two formats into one of your next releases?
