mapThis 0.5 video

**BarfHappy** · June 23rd, 2007, 11:55

Ehehe, non je n'habite pas Montreal mais j'aime bien le Quebec et mon epouse y a de la famille (et j'aime bien regarder la tv de la bas).

Sinon pour le GPS, si tu as des soucis, je t'aiderais.

And as said, all you really need is the GMDL (google map download) tool, it will transform the maps from google maps into maps usable by MapThis.

The wikibook is very complete and has links for what you ll need:

The direct tutorial for GMDL: http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=60230

i don't think you will need much more help than this

ok cool !

thanks barfhappy!

I can wait to download mapthis 0.5!
does anyone know when the date ?

ok...got the MAPTHIS 0.497 working on my psp.

i do have a few questions :

1 : I need to know how to do a `HOW TO GET ` kind of how to get to point a to point b...with the voice TURN LEFT and all that...

2 : the find location is not working for me...
it ask me the name of the street, city and a 5 digits postal codes...
I live in montreal, and the postal code looks like this ` H8P 3G6 `

3: instead of google map or yahoo...is it possible to take the map of `Microsoft Streets & Trips `
because the search engine is very easy to use...
( only type the postal code, and it will find the place

and does someone know when MAPTHIS 0.5 will be out ???

thanks a lot

Thanks. hope i didnt confuse you.

i think i have the latest ones. the 3.40 one and something else i forgot, but its the ones that come with the MapThis Unofficial version

Hey, I was having trouble too with the previous versions, so try this file I'm using that someone posted. The file is for PSP 3.40 oe & the SONY psp-290 GPS:

alright so apparently, I have been a member of this website since 2005 and I didn't even know about it until I looked back for the map this .5.

after reading countless website about how to install mapthis! and I was able to get it to work

thanks for the Dude who posted the .prx files for the 3.40oe on this website on some forum. without I think I would still be stuck right now. Deniska thanks for the great program. right now I am in Hiroshima japan and I am about to undertake a masive amount of traveling around japan starting next week-end for 10. I bought the GPS-290 reciever yesterday after I saw a video on youtube. great stuff yo I can't wait to get my hands on the .5 version since I am runing the .4999_beta

Couple of questions though
1) I downloaded the map of Hiroshima (84mb) and I was riding the train by the atomic bomb when I got a negative Altitude?? maybe I was really underwater for a short time.

2)it takes a while for the GPS to lock on ( usual I guess) but I have to be stand at the same place for like 10 minutes ortherwise I will never get a lock on.ex I had to stand in front of a store for like 10 minute before the blue arrow showed up. Gps detected like 6 satelite but it still took me like 10 minutes. is this normal???

3) let's say I live in chicago (I have like a 800mb of the whole city map) and let's say I want to go st. Louis. ( for which I also have the map of the whole city).

4) oh yeah, about the zoom for the map; I have just download a huge map of hiroshima. on the google map I can zoom until I see the actual shape of the houses around. but on my PSP I can only see up to the smallest street but not the shape of the house. do you know guys know how can I make so that I get the whole thing... don't really worry about space. I just upgrade from 2gb to 4gb memory. one for my days use and one for GPS.
so I have the 2 maps, how do I download the HIghway 55?? I mean how do I connect the 2 maps. don't tell me that I am going to have to download a (1.6gb) map of the 2 city as once and just unselect the area that I don't need along the high way?????
I would like to know how this is done.
thanks
sorry for the long message
