MapThis in the plane :)

On my trip from Germany to Russia I've made the picture as in the attachment, showing we're flying above Belarus at ~840km/h

Also, I've made a trail (using the GPS recording I've changed/added) of the flight from Moscow to St. Petersburg, showing exactly how we flew. For those who didn't know yet, planes do not fly straight :P

I didn't know there were singls in the plane, interesting, I'll have a try. haha~~~

is this a good thing? I thought that signals like the gps and cell phone interfer with flight deck? Be careful.

**troy1229** · August 2nd, 2007, 15:51

cell phone may interfer the plane, but not the Gps, it is a receiver, only receives singals, doesn't send them. so it is ok to use on plane.

How does it come you have reception with the PSP-290
:O Is that possible in the plane, wow !

**Nieko** · August 2nd, 2007, 20:19

troy1229: my line of reasoning exactly, it only receives. I know airline staff is not too happy about stuff like that, so I turned the screen off and sat in front of it :P

Codaz: well, it took a few minutes (5-10 somewhere even I think), but I just let it lie near the window on a pile of clothes. After a while I got 8 satellites fixed even

Nieko,
It's a bit of topic, but I figured i'd write it here..

Can you do some enhancements to your routing page? (I am adding /PSP/COMMON folder to the list)
http://getroute.nieko.net/
I like it alot, but it's killing me to type with sony's OSK. can you add some javascript keyboard?
There are many examples on the web on how to do it...

And we need to discuss the sound support for the next mapthis release...
Basically, your script must look for key phrases in the waypoint descriptions and add integers to each waypoint line, based on the comparison. For example if you find the word "left" you append "10," to the end of the line.

Here is a sample dictionary, currently supported in gmdl:
1,$$$THE FIRST ENTRY IS THE DEFAULT WAYPOINT SOUND$$$
10,left
2,right
3,slight left
4,slight right
5,exit
6,arrive
6,arriving
6,destination
7,keep left
8,keep right
9,merge

If you have questions, PM me or in7ane
