Mapthis 5.2+ Next version GUI (Config) suggestions.

I agree, but I remember deniska said he didn't like Sony's method at all. This would then apply to all text input of course.

I do think that Sony's method sucks (it's slower and blocks the parent screen... Sometimes it's useful to see other fields/info when you type in something..)
but.. if you willing to implement it, making the switch between danzeff and sony osk configurable - I have no problems adding it to official version...

[deniska]

I agree. Deniska: is NMEA recording still used a lot? If not, GPS recording to a POI file could be placed in the menu (when pressing Start) e.g., at the location where "Read GPS from unit/file" is located now.
.

I use "read from file" switch mostly for troubleshooting GPS mode rendering issues and such.. but I guess it could be moved to configuration file..So that "Recording" left arrow button is freed up

If I have the time for it this week, I'll take a look at these two things (Sony OSK and GPS recording in menu so that you can cycle backwards through display modes).

cool

I realized that one main reason was that I get used to the txt input style used for mobile, which I find a strong similarity with Sony's TXT input....

could you do that please, if it is not too demanding, you could simply add interchagable TXT input,

e.g.,

ENABLESONYINPUT=1 (0 will convert to yours, etc)

Thanks.

Also, about setting to 111/333,

I realized that setting it to 333 won't affect much at all.....

So perhaps what I've asked about reverting back and forth does not really matter... (ast least for me)

Also, I could make up my own (simple) metal EMI shield (somebody already shown photos somewhere in the forum)

My modified version addresses some of the issues you mentioned. It is based on an old version of MapThis though.

Yes, I have tried your zz version the first time. It was not working well (e.g.,. couldnt get the Sat lock),
but most likely because I was first-time trying it.
I will try yours again soon.

Cheers

Some people may have noticed that I try to stay clear of many "automatic" actions. IMHO this unnecessary device interaction my create more problems than benefits.. In this particular case 7PM cutoff may not work for someone in Africa or even for you in a month, when day length changes.. Of course, due to Murphy's law, it will catch you at most unappropriated time ;-)

well u can always make it configurable in config file.

if we get fix about 3 to 4 set,it will auto set to 333mhz but for slim psp, went they loading the map,we can say the fat psp load is better then slim.

one of my firends slim psp aways get hang after 333mhz was set and the psp trying to look for the map but once is loading ,it hang and take soo long to load. i hav check the lastes mapthis vers is the same problem as the older vers of mapthis. it has notting to do wif XMD.

hope there is a way can over come this problem

kohnt

I have no issues whatsoever with setting to 333 always.

I now have a dedicated PSP-slim for Car-GPS, lol

My current (relatively stable) im using now, is
3.71M33-3 with Mapthis5.2
Map size about 230MB

I set to 333 in the config file, as well as cacheindex=1.
