SIMPLE step by step instruction - GPS 290 installation

[pspnewbe]

Hey guys,
i've done a lot of research on this and other sites for the past week and my mind is about to explode. too many abbreviations i don't understand and every "FAQ" quickly goes over my head. i'm not computer illiterate but can't figure this out:

Problem: how do i install the sony gps 290 on my slim psp.
my system software is says "3.71 M33". doesn't say anything about updates.

so far i've managed to download mapviwer_v05.rar, 3.71 prx.rar and MapThis_0461S_beta.rar but i haven't done anything with them yet.

can someone help me out with what to download and how to install it?? i know it must have been asked a million times before but not in a simple way a total newbe can figure out from A-Z.

Thanks.

use the 0.505 version
put it in PSP/GAME371
no need of prx's

download a map
put it in PSP/GAME371/MAPVIEWER/MAPS

run mapthis

hi...
hmm...I am using FW 3.90M33-2 , I didn't find any usbacc.prx and usbgps.prx in MAPthis's file .....
Should I need to put those in it ???
Would the GPS work without these files ??

sorry for nub's questions XD

All you do is out the mapviewer folder in the GAME380 folder

and it should loads up

them 2 files your talking bout are already loaded onto the psp
