New Code Contribution

[deniska]

- changed hdop display logic
- changed thread priorities and stack allocations
- added CPU clock control to GPS-INFO screen [UP]/[DOWN] - valid settings are 333/222/111
111Mhz could help PSP-290 users to get faster fix since PSP may make less EMP noise at lesser frequencies.
- added initlocation switch to PSP-290 GPS INFO screen [LEFT]/[RIGHT]
- misc fixes

To install, overwrite you current (0.4xxx) version's EBOOT.PBP with apropriate EBOOT version and replace the system folder with the new one.

So this version is finally for PSP-290 TOO

But i think only the generic gps features are now ported to psp-290, no real psp-290 bugs fixed or am i wrong ?

[Codaz]

Do you have a specific bugfix in mind?
If you have a list of bugs, please let us know!

[The chrashing of the PSP-290 version, while loading a map, and chrashes while zooming, or reading from a poi file.

Also Poi files not displayed correctly.]

Already fixed in 0.497.

Hello Guys great work!
This new version have a professional look.
Stop the chash with large maps.
But, i cant find where can i change to 111mhz.
When i use de menu, only changes from 222 to 333 and back.

Hugs,
cop

Ops! My Fault!
Change speed using up down keys only works in GPS-INFO screen.

Wow, i tested this version just a couple of minutes away, and i'm impressed !

Very much progress is been made since 0.47 ! Mapthis no longer chrashes on certain (not available) zoom levels, only memory light is blinking very fast on that levels.

A few bugs still there:
Speed isn't correctly presented in KM/H. When i drive 55 km/h in my car (corrected with garmin) Mapthis says i'm almost driving 70 :S

Also, altitude isn't correctly displayed. At my home i'm at -0.8 meters ? I live almost on the highest point of the street.

Hope you can give me new digits (other than supplied in config.txt) so i can correct this.

Next bug is that it's not clear what the function READ GPS from file contains. When is it READ GPS from UNIT and when the other ??

And how can you read gps from file, where to place that file ?

Thanks to leaod for the very nice graphics, only i liked the previous red arrow a bit more than this blue one.

Track-up mode now works great !, the compass is nice.

But it says Bearing: NE and then in GPS screen, Bearing 67, isn't that a bug ? Or are wind directions digitized ?

111 mhz is working fine !, i think it fixed MUCH faster now, but i have to test that on other places and trips.
My first fix was done UNDER 2 minutes !!

Keep up the good work.

As I understand:

North: 0
East: 90
South: 180
West: 270


So 67 would be roughly NE or NNE.

O that cleares something up

I agree with Codaz, big improvements for the GPS-290 unit. I was out testing, 111mhz and it took under 1 min to fix 5 satelites and 10 was in view. Great, great work!

The only thing that i don't like right now is the lack of geodata for Europe and the laggy turnspeed when turning

This version works sweet here, but still some problems with Address lookup for UK. I can't put my full postcode because the max chars is 6. So it doens't work for uk at the moment (7 or more).

The MY POIS list when activated just shows the red bullets (circles) I guess it should shows the default.png.
