MAPLUS PSP GPS official website now open |
Ó
A few weeks back, we featured an article about Edia Co.'s PSP accessory, the MAPLUS portable GPS bundle. In that report, we mentioned that the add-on is such a hit and is already sold out on Amazon Japan. Unfortunately, the mapping device would only work in Japanese cities and there isn't any word if Edia (which isn't the FFVIII witch) is planning on releasing it in Europe or in the U.S. So you better hang on to Deniska's handy Map This! app for now.
But there are still some developments from the Edia camp as they have recently opened their official website. Nothing new in it, well, we don't really know for sure what's in it as everything is in Japanese. So if you could read and speak the language, do share to us what's in the site.
Anyhow, it sure looks like it could only be used in Japan...for now. It has a price tag of ¥ 7,140 (US$ 61.30) for the software single item and ¥ 10,500 (US$ 90.16) for the GPS receiver bundled edition. Small development for now, but who knows? If Edia comes up with an English website, then perhaps they're planning on selling it outside Japan?
We'll dish out them updates as they come. For now, you could visit the official Edia site via the link below.

First comment, This looks like a must buy for travellers
whats this
That's quite expensive for the software, though it is much cheaper than a dedicated GPS unit. I'd have to see how well it works (speed, accuracy etc) as well as any other features before considering getting this. Will it have downloadable updates? What about a voice navigator that dictates the directions as you go (without this it's useless in a car). I guess I'll take a close look if they ever release a local version.
A little bit expensive, but I will buy this when it arives in Holland. I hope that the price will drop down when you can buy this here in europe. It looks good.
10000 yen? I'll stick to the GPS in my cell phone, thanks.
Hopefully Sony haven't locked it down too much so that other companies can come in and use the hardware and therefore their back catalogue of maps and software like Garmin and others.
Maybe TomTom can make a PSP version of their software in combination with this hardware :-) That would be really awesome.......(yes, I like to dream ;-) )
