Map This! v0.4

Nice mockups :-)

I'll consider your requests..
1)For now you can swap the cursor graphics with whatever images you have, as long as it follows the same format...
2) I am moving the gps functions out of the main loop in the newer version, so when you move a cursor you don't loose the trip data
3) this is alot of work... perhaps eventually I'll look in to it... but meantime I'll probably just sort pois alphabetically...

Hello deniska! What do you think about routing (autorouting) feature for MapThis app?
There is a lot of routing maps for Garmin devices on the net in *.img and Polish (*.mp) formats.
I understand that routing implementation is a lot of work, but do you have such a plans?

Thanks for you work, it makes my PSP really worthwhile

Also, it would be great if you add ability to use different icons in one POI file (for example to indicate on one map different Gas Stations with different icons depending to owner company).

My opinion about switching off POIs during scrolling map - this feature should be optional in application settings since it's not easy to scroll to particular POI and to look at description while you can't see it during scrolling

If I'll have to much POIs on screen and scrolling will be slow I'll just switch them off in one click!

The routing was disscussed a few times before, so ..search the forums...
POIs - you can have up to 10 different icons displayed simultaneously... (again see the forums for details)
Sorry, but it's annoing to to keep answering same questions over and over again...

If you search the forums, you'll find the version with PSP-290 support, donation thread and instructions on how to download the mexico city map (hint: MSN seem to provide a good coverage of that area)

Ask yourself this question:
Can you run any other homebrew?
If yes - you should be able to run Map This!

deniska, I'm using http://glockdancers.com/mapthis/ as a source to feed a local cache (depending on a page with links to the .zip files and the _county_borders files). Let me know if this setup is ok with you (I will distribute with the cache filled and an assumption that anything already in the local cache is final and does not need updating).

A couple of things before I post the app:

(1)
Regarding this:
NOTE:
In theory, 2 or more counties can share area with same zipcode(s), ie you may get the same zipcode filename in 2 different county zipfiles. In this case you'll have to merge the zipcode files with a same name and sort the data inside of them alphabetically by street name.

This does not seem to be the case (eg. 02068.zip 99704 and 02090.zip 99704 are the same)

Could you give me a case where this is not so. To confirm that I do have to deal with both scenarios (where zipcode files are the same and also where they are partial).

(2)
zip.txt does not have entries for every zipcode, eg:

07086,40769504,-74021890, ,,3472,69785
(7th in Manhattan one you posted)

Here goes nothing: http://homepage.mac.com/f.levin/psp/GeoData0.2.0a.zip

Until deniska confirm this as working, and all the pre-processed files are there, this is experimental and probably not ready for use.
