i used the gmdl 0.42 to get my maps and it gave me alot of pictures and how do i transfer them to maps that i can view through map this!?

Thanks angel. Worked fine just like you said.

Has anyone else tried the original method Deniska suggested as far as using the 2.71 and Mapplus (Japan) PRX modules?

I tried them before his "update" was released and I felt those worked better for me as far as finding a faster lock on satellites. I'm going to try the original method when I go back out on the road....

Now Im getting a lock after ten or fifteen minutes on a clear day. Before it was less than five minutes.

Nik,

If you're doing what I first was doing, I know what your problem is....

You have to let Gmdl finish the task (On the top of the program you'll see a progress bar). Even if you see "2x, 8x, etc" in your specified directory, don't assume Gmdl has finished its task. When its all done, the program will turn the contents of said subfolders into "GPSFS" files. THESE files are the ones that are to go in "/mapviewer."

Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to get turn-by-turn directions on Mapthis? I would like to have turn by turn directions or at least have the roads I need to turn on to get to my destination appear highlighted. Any help would be appreciated.

Oh and Deniska, I did get irsmp3.prx (plugin) to work. I now have my mp3s playing in the background when I'm running your software!! (mp3's need to go in /psp/music and not the new format of ms:/music. )

Thanks in advance to helpers.

Guys,
I tried the latest beta with FW3.10 OE-A and it seems to work ok at least for a short duratin of time that I had to test it..
If you still have problems check following things:
1) Get the latest set of prx files from 3.10 fw dump using the psar dumper from C+D team. (press circle)
2) You may need to disable some fw plugins and they consume memory. MapThis needs lots of it for caching the map imagery
3) If you always get stuck on map loading - perhaps your memory stick is corrupted - try copying files from it to HD, format it and copy them back.. you may need to create a new map...

I feel it by my bad English but this time I have not had to which it translates to me in conditions. Possible serious Deniska that you made a version of last version of the Mapthis that showed to the speed in km\h instead of in miles\h?

Thank you very much for the program and your dedication.

You can adjust speed in csystem/config.txt file
it provides examples for different settings....

I just received the holux to psp cable made by pooka and fupeng, thanks a lot guys!

Works great! For those considering it - it is 75cm (30 inches) long and took about 4 business days from Beijing (to the UK) via registered mail.

I have had time to give it a pretty good going over from my last post. Here is what I have done and found. I reset my PSP settings to default, reformatted my memstick and reinstalled MapThis! with 3.10 PRX files. Maps loaded with 0.461S but as soon and I put the updated eboot on (0.461s_1) (From here: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/att...2&d=1169502942 ) it refuses to load the maps. l redownloaded 0.461s_1 and extracted straight to the PSP to no avail, still will not load the maps. Then to get it to work again after a crash I needed to delete reinstall the program again (Not the maps tho).

In summary a clean format and install with 0.461s seems to work fine untill you try to load 0.461s_1.

0.461s on 3.10OE-A is unstable for me tho but at least it sort of works. I dunno what 0.461s_1 was supposed to do anyway so I'll stick with 0.461s and I'll wait to see what 3.11OE-A brings when it gets here or wait until Deniska can find out more.

I have yet to get mapthis to get a signal Ive tried on the 3.03OEB and now the 3.10OEA. I have the 3.10 .prx files and Im in 3.10 kernel mode.I have been very successful with green screen 7 sats with 5 fixes but my longitude is a negative value does this mean anything , any suggestions would be helpful.?

Edit Well I am getting some signals but no fixes Im wondering why the mapthis doesnt pick up the same sats as the green screen. In the green screen you can the location value I have the best luck on 0 is this where the mapthis is set and how would I check?
