very nice work!!!

Could you something say about creating your route? Is it more comfortable?

Who was creating the speach voices?

Does that music play in the background the entire time?

buildit92 you download maps from google/yahoo and others with provided software. I am sure NJ is covered very well (yes you can use it as map viewer)

Bolemichel the route are still created with gmdl, so I don't know if it's more comfortable.
The voice promts were generated with TTS software. Currently there are just ~10 different prompts, covering left/right/ merge, etc. but users can expand the library to any reasonable number of prompts, by reconfiguring gmdl tool and adding the corresponding mp3 recordings.

In that video the music is coming from a separate sourse, but you should be able to run your music and mapThis at the same time with, say, IRShell...

Wow, first off, looks very nice. I have some questions, though:

1. What are the "Speed Warning"s?? What do you do to get them? Is it just increasing speed fast, or what?

2. Also, how did the POI's get on the map? Is that part of the downloaded map, part of the GPS, or do you have to add POIs in yourself?

3. And how much space do the maps take (like for one city) on your memory stick?

4. Lastly, so does the PSP GPS unit pretty much work everywhere?

Anyway, like I said it looks great (haven't downloaded it till now, but I am tempted from that). Sorry for the dumb questions.
