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

[mavsman4457]

I guess I will hold off a little bit on getting that GPS but once I get my license I might have to splurge for it. Oh and does anyone know when the GPS comes out in America because I bet it would be cheaper to buy in a store than off of ebay.

It's 63 dollars (50 euro's) from Jgamers (on ebay).
In store it will be 70+ i think, and launched at fall 2007 or begin 2008, so make your choice

play asia I think currently has the best deal - http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-...n-70-1mij.html

But they don't deliver to Europe.

Deniska, the following bugs are noticed by me:

-Poi line isn't showed in directions mode of mapthis 0.47 (only the red circles)

-I added 5000 Gas stations into a poi. They aren't showed properly, only if i add another poi in Mapthis with START > ADD POI.

Then they poi's are displayed, but only as blue dots, not as gas icons (i selected gas.png in GMDL and applied to all).

-Directions are very often given too late, but thats maybe a GMDL question. For example, if i must take the exit on the highway, the poi is given ON the exit, not in front of it.

And my expierence is that making the map images smaller costs a LOT of time, i resized almost 22000 (!!) images yesterday, took me an hour to complete.

Need more experience and another program which recreates map structure (like 64x - 000 - etc)

Hello:

I'm using PSP-290 with custom firmware 3.03OE-B and prx files from 2.71 and 3.02. When I tested GPS-290 with GPS 290 test, 10 sats were caught and 3 of them were fixed. However, when I tried to use MapThis, it didn't show more than 1 sat. I don't know what's wrong. Is there any1 can help me?

Record the gps data and have a look, or publish a few lines here from it...

PSP-290 dumps GPS data in binary format (not NMEA)
jhlee, both MapThis and GPS-290 test program use the same code to get satellite data... so it might be just your luck.. get Maplus and see if you get better reception with it (in gps info screen)

deniska,
Thanks for letting me know, BTW, does Maplus cover the US where I live? If it doesn't, I'll just try to use MapThis with my luck.

maplus covers japan only, but gps satellite info screen would work anywhere...
