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

[nikko74]

My setup is not working as it should:

I have a PSP-290, with firmware 3.10OE-A'

I used the green proggie with the supplied 2.71 prx files, works perfectly. Finds 5 sattelites.

If i launch Mapthis 0.461S it works too (with a map made by GMDL 0.48b).

Updated to 0.48, works with loading the map (finally !!, make sure the map is fine !)

0.48 is still buggy, random chrashes occur !

But, the signal strenght meter isn't working. It stays at 0 blocks.

Also, i can't get a fixed signal.

I've had the same prob until this morning... try to change your battery (original psp = 1800 mAh ; i purchased a Sony 2200 mAh). I don't know exactly why, but now it works fine !

Hmm, i doubt tis is a bigger battery problem, but i could be.

I think this is rather strange.

[Mystheryman]

Hmm the problem with die Battery sounds really Strange.

@ the moment I'm decrypting any PSP Firmware I found. To try all the prx's combinations

EDIT:
@ the moment I'm using
usbacc.prx from Firmware 2.71
and
usbgps.prx from Firmware 3.03
Works fine with newest MapThis beta. Get's a fix within 5minutes.

@Deniska
I tried the feature with the "POI routes" from gmdl. Works also fine.
But I found out, that MapThis doens't Support signs like
ß
ä
ö
ü
and a few more.
Would be great, if you can make them supported by your Software

And sorry for my bad english.

sum1 please help me
i hav already ordered my PSP=290 GPS receiver from play-asia.com. They had written that "Compatible with Sony PSP™ Japan" . I have a chinese psp, so will the gps work for me or not ?
Please help.

[Mystheryman]

The GPS itself works worldwide.
Only the software (Maplus) is only for Japan at the Moment.

But why we have Deniska with MapThis? *hehe*

[deniska]

Different PSP versions may have different "noise" levels, depending on particular unit and/or manufacturer..
PSP's internal circuitry emmits electromagnetic noise which may affect the reception of GPS signal.
In my tests with HOLUX GPSlim 240 recever I would "loose" 1-2 satellites whenever I move the recever close to PSP's USB port (same position PSP-290 would be if connected).

It would be interesting to see if PSP-290 exibits the same behavior. Perhaps someone could create extension cable for PSP-290 unit?

[max_bhrigu]

Thanks a lot mystheryman for ur prompt reply.
@deniska : do we expect better fixes on the upcoming version of MapThis!, if any.
