MapThis 0.5.20 with holux support for slim psps

[HercPSP]

i have another question...lets say you are driving around, but then you get an address....and you type it in...is there a way for the program to just pinpoint your location (with GPS mode on) and direct your to your destination? i tried it, but it was just a striaght white line, and a DIST to MARK value...

[Nieko]

Ugh, this question has been asked so many times... See http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Map_This!#Address_Lookup.

[HercPSP]

so do you think there will be a point in the future to insert a function like this?

[Nieko]

There might be, Deniska is still working on vector data. See http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...=2148023534#97.

i read just about every guide about mapthis. so i must download a route or make one in gmdl? then what is the point of markers? also can make POIs in mapthis and use them as routes? sorry to sound like a noob i know how it is because i code plus teach how to get custom firmware

[Nieko]

MapThis! currently doesn't have the code nor the data (or at least not yet) to generate a graph of streets and intersections and calculate a route from one node to another.

However, POIs are a lot simpler to implement, and they've been there for a while already. You can have POIs for supermarkets, etc.

By simply linking a bunch of POIs by drawing lines between them, you effectively create a route. The calculating part is left to Google, the drawing part to Map This!, simple as that .

So yes, you do have to download routes (beforehand or wherever you have WiFi), either through GMDL or http://getroute.nieko.net/.

well that is better than paying for service, or buying a $400 gps...i wish i knew how to code for psp apps so i can help, i have many ideas, but dont know how to code it (just in vb, html, and mirc)

also, everytime i try to download maps from wifi, it says wifi failed...i will post a image later, and i did change the settings in the config file

WiFi downloading isn't too good, I think you're better off using GMDL.

i see well, i just didnt want to go thru all the troulbe of GMDL, but thanks...and when i make routes, will the software know that my location is en route? thanks...im still reading the wiki, i want to know everything about it...bye

edit: yeah it works, but is there anyway to reverse the pre-made route? and how do you draw routes in the program? i cant seem to go around curves and stuff, or is that possible?

[Nieko]

Don't know about GMDL, but on http://getroute.nieko.net/ you can simply click "Swap fields!" to swap the fields; then you can generate the reverse route.

Routes are downloaded directly from Google Maps, so if you're unsure a route will work, you can test it there first.


You can indeed draw routes yourself. Press X to turn on the marker, and press O for a new segment. You can't save this route though, and pressing X again will remove the entire route.
