Mapthis With Vectordata... A Dream!!!

[deniska]

I played a bit with tiger line data (for US) and was able to draw a street wireframe overlay...(no water/terrain polygons just yet)
The images below show a border of an image map with vector overlay and street name detection..
Although tiger line data lacks precision and has errors, I guess showing it for "out of map" areas is still better then nothing...

I'm amazed

OMG Desniska you are my Hero!!

Except I live in Australia and there is not geodata available here.

Can you tell me what is needed in the Geodata file, maybe i can start a site that we can all contribute to it!

Here is yet another shot of tiger-based vector data over VE sat imagery..

Seems great. Too bad vectordata isn't available for most of the world.

Or you have to rip it somehow of a T0mt0m.

Codaz: it is possible to rip vector data out of the OSM data actually . When MapThis supports this, and I know the format it requires, I can take a look at it.

[deniska]

the format is still in the works, to ensure best performance on PSP.. Once I am done - I'll post the specs and supporting tools...

Hey deniska, this is off topic, but can you make MapThis somehow stop the back light from turning off and the PSP from turning off when we're not using it for atleast 10 mins? I know we can do this in the settings menu but I need it on so when I watch videos on my PSP and I fall asleep, I want my PSP to auto shut off. This really bothers me and I hope you fix it in your next release !

[Nieko]

Ranmax09: that was exactly my reasoning for including it in my version . You can find the EBOOT and source here:

If you don't want the other functionality, you can always just compile your own .

(Btw., search for 'scePowerTick' to find the function that prevents the screen from turning off.)

Wow, thanks Nieko. I like this feature too
