MAP THIS! version 0.461S (beta) with support for PSP-290 GPS accessory

[deniska]

Does this work like a real GPS system? have PIO? $#@!pit mode? I always wanted my PSP to do GPS but recently I picked up the much hype MIO C310.

I would love to give this a try as well. But how do you guys like it with out touch screen? Hard to use?

If you have a homebrew-enabled PSP - you can give it a try even if you don't have the gps receiver...
The 0.460 (as well as most prior versions) has the GPS simulation mode and a sample map to try out...

not sure what PIO is... if POI - yes it supports those... check the forums for more info...

awesome, can't wait to get home to my psp after my business trip. Keep up the great work. I might actually start using my psp again because of you ..

Yes it does, but the format has changed with .460 version... so you'll need to generate or obtain geodata.dat file for your area... read the 0.4 version thread for details (starting at page 16)

Ohhhh! hahaha yea i got those dat files from other members and i changed them to all.map how stupid of me.. it works now.. one problem... when i press start to search for an address... my psp just turns off power... m i still missin something? i read the rest of the forum but still cant seem to figure it out...

My guess is, your file is still in incorrect format or has errors in it...
try installing cygwin and generating a new geodata.dat file... or just wait until in7ane comes up with a better front end for geodata proggie...

Hey,deniska, i can't find the usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx file, could u share it? 3ks a lot

DIGG THIS
....This version must be ran under 3.03 custom kernel!
It was briefly tested with 3.03 OE-B custom firmware, but may work with older custom FW version...

Forgive a stupid question from a newbie to PSP Homebrew issues:

I gather from the above that MapTHis will not run under standard PSP OS?
If so, how does one go about getting a Custom Kernel, and what effect would such kernel have on running "regular" PSP software?

I'm dying to try out the PSP-290 (it's been ordered) with navigation software, especially for my regular trips to Europe.

Thanks!

Hi deniska... thanks a lot for this great application. I've been following the progress on PSP-290 support for MapThis at ps2dev, and finally the day has come. Can't wait to try it out. I bought the Sony GPS a few months ago. Only used for Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops GPS scan. I'm from Malaysia by the way.

Just wondering whether I can use usbacc.prx & usbgps.prx from your PSP290TEST package?

[wangdaihan]

Hi, I've asked for the usbacc.prx and subgps.prx files but now I already got them dumped from the 3.02fw. Now your Map This works fine on my 3.02OE-A, 2 or 3 minutes to locate the satellite. I'm in Jp so I also tried the Maplus. Though it's more powerful I frefer yours as it's much more flexible and more area supported. And the google map is much better than the map in Maplus. Thank u so much for the great work. I've been waiting for your work supported by psp-290 for a long time

Deniska, found a bug (I think) I was waiting at the gps info screen for it to connect and once it did I pressed select to jump back to the map and then I got a screen full of missing map tiles and it was locked up till it shut down a couple of seconds later. It was a fresh install with nothing changed other than my adding my local map created with the app that in7ane built.

Oh, I was zoomed all the way in on the center of the map at the time that I selected the gps info screen.
