WHO NOW N*GGA?

I'm using MapThis! 0.47 beta with GPSlim 240 ($80+tax&s/h) and a special cable ($25shipped), total of about $110 well spent. Got a nice little setup going with the PSP, a car mount, and the GPS receiver. Now driving in Los Angeles traffic is much more enjoyable than before.

ya were do we get a gps for a psp......

you are right, I am waiting for 0.48 too. dont want to be forced to make a user accound on dcemu just to download the attachment.



alternative link anyone?

@FRED, notice that I said I bought a special cable for $25, it's a mini-B USB cable that plugs into the GPS receiver, yes, the GPSlim 240 HAS a USB port, in addition to the bluetooth. The other end of the cable plugs into the audio/serial port (like the remote for the headphones), depending on the cable, audio doesn't work, but with some know-how, i'm sure you can make it work. The GPSlim 240 can also connect to the USB port on your computer, that's why there's USB port on the receiver. MapThis uses images from google, msn live, or any other map website that uses what's called "google projection". This means that it can work ANYWHERE in the world as long as you have a map for it. The GPS itself works ANYWHERE in the world, that's the definition of the term GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM, it's GLOBAL. Take this, I have maps of Thailand, let see any other system do that. Granted, MapThis is more of a Map program than a Navigation program, but that's why it's BETA.



@dudeomg, google "Holux GPSlim 240" or check out play-asia.com for the official PSP GPS module. With the GPSlim 240, you'll have to make your own USB cable, or buy one from a guy based in NY, prices for either are about the same, I bought mine for $25 (that includes shipping), took 3 days.



@j, I'm running it on 3.03OE-C

I would like a link to a TUT on how to obtain and/or create the maps. i recall from long ago they had something to do with getting the maps off google maps? Link to the instructions would be greatly appreciated.
