MapThis! 0.5 (1 Year Anniversary Edition)

Posted Aug 20, 2007 at 4:27AM EST by QJ Staff

Listed in: Homebrew Applications, Wi-Fi Tags: Deniska, GPS, MapThis, psp homebrews

We're letting the PSP owners know that developer Deniska has released the much-awaited version 0.5 of the MapThis! homebrew application. And as the past few teaser vids have indicated, this latest release of Deniska's GPS navigation tool for the handheld carries a ton of new functions:

Birds Eye mode
Inverted colors (night) mode
Voice Prompts / Alerts support. (* see notes below)
Missing zoom layer rendering (only for gpsfs maps). MapThis! attempts to render a missing zoom layer with shrinked
tiles from the next zoom level.
Screenshots are saved in ms0:/PSP/PHOTO now
Icons/sounds can now be located in either a particular map directory or system (system/sounds or system/icons) directory.
POI and WAYPOINT files can now also be looked up from ms0:/PSP/COMMON
Geodata can now be shared between maps if geodata.dat file is placed in the same directory as EBOOT.PBP.
The program will attempt to load geodata.dat file in the current map directory first.
New tiger line geodata for USA (2006se from 03/2007) compiled and available through gmdl18a and higher versions.
Edit functionality added to "Configuration" screen. While in Configuration screen, scroll down until the line that needs to be edited is on top. Press [X] to enter the edit mode. You can use up/down arrows to increment/decrement current character by 1.
Use [START] to save or [SELECT] to cancel the edit.
New current position prediction logic, hopefully resulting in smoother scrolling.
A few rendering bug fixes in graphics routines.
New parameters added to configuration file: STARTUPFREQUENCY, STARTUPSCREENMODE, NIGHTMODE, SPEEDLIMIT.
SATINFOFREQUENCY defines cpu frequency on Satellite Info screen (PSP-290 only)
Timezone parameter removed from configuration, timezone is determined based on your psp date/time settings.
Localization support (language packs).
PSP-290 version does not require prx files to run in non-gps mode.
Attached source code adopted to the latest version of PSPSDK

And in case you're using a Holux GPS, Deniska further added this note:

One of the main complaints of the holux users is the lack of sound, since the plug, required for serial connection, automatically mutes PSP's speakers.
Mr7 just dropped in with this easy solution:
"Chop off the tip of the audio plug"
I tried it on 2 of my cablesand it works just fine..

That's the rough on Map This!'s latest release. We strongly recommend would-be users to view the readme included in the file bundle - most of the information you need is available there. On a last note, the author (via the readme) is requesting users to view Google Map's "Terms of Use" agreement, given that Map This! receives its image data from the said service.

it's already been said. go here, http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t+33068 use gmdl (google map downloader) to zoom into a section of the world and download the map. it's easy but you have to at least have a little patience. it takes a while to download. just read the tutorial, let the pc program do its thing then copy the map over to your psp when it's done. use the application because it's going to take just as much time to download a map from someone else as it is to make one yourself.

# gps — Guest 2007-08-20 13:32

Hey im thinking of buying the psp-290 gps from play asia. I have the 3.40 oe-a firmware will it work with this program

# Ancient News? — Guest 2007-08-20 13:54

This came out like 4 days ago? LOL. QJ needs to get their ***** together. Posting bricking CFW's, it's getting sad around these parts.

# why not make it easier? — Guest 2007-08-20 14:12

To have preloaded maps of big cities in a repository or something? So everyone who wanted a map have to make their own?

# ugh — Guest 2007-08-20 15:15

first off you need a GPS (global positioning system). not a General Radio Packet System (which is for cell phones and *****). GPS works anywhere in the world, its free, it uses numerous satellites to find your position. get a holux brand or just get the 290 that attaches right onto the usb at the top of the psp.

and QJ is super late on this...

# yooo — Guest 2007-08-20 17:56

man some one can tell me hoe to use this i really want this

# well done QJ — Guest 2007-08-20 18:18

i for one think QJ are doing a fantastic job, thankyou QJ. I just downloaded this application, and it works fantastically in australia with my PSP-290 (the official GPS receiver) so yeah, thankyou deniska, and thankyou QJ for posting it.

# I found a local 2nd hand list for the PSP-290 — Guest 2007-08-20 20:08

Is there any quick way to verify if the unit is fully working or not? I am not sure the dude is selling me a broken one or something... Would like to verfiy that if I buy it and make sure it works before he flees...

# canada?? — Guest 2007-08-21 05:01

im canadian would this app work in canda aswell??

# the app works everywhere I think.. — Guest 2007-08-21 07:38

I am in Canada and I can assure you this app alone works for I already got a map of my canadian home city running in the app. The GPS should work too otherwise they have to take the G out of GPS ;) Whether you can find the right receiver hardware then it is another question.

# yes — Guest 2007-08-21 13:49

this app works anywhere that google has covered which is everywhere

# installation — Guest 2007-08-21 13:53

read the readme and that helps but make sure u have FW 1.5 or CFW and if u have thet put the right files iin the game 340 or 351 or 352.

# thanks!! — Guest 2007-08-21 13:58

thanks for the info lavino and kfmgnaf really appreaciate it!! one more question tho, if u get a canadain map will it still have voice prompt??

# does your prx files have to match the firmware using? — Guest 2007-08-21 20:56

I got the 2.71 version of both usbxx.prx for the PSP-290

I haven't got the receiver unit yet but I wonder if those prx will work under 3.4 or 3.5x CFW? I put the 3.11 prx files I got an error message first loading MapThis. But it I use those 2.71 prx I don't see the error. But then I don't have the real hardware receiver to verify yet.

# awesome! — Guest 2007-08-22 15:52

this so awesome!... i've been playing with it in non-GPS 3d mode, and driving around the streets with the shoulders buttons haha. can't wait til my PSP-290 arrives!!

w00t

Thanx Deniska, and QJ

# gps map — Guest 2007-09-01 16:09

does anyone know if you can save a whole state map instead of piece piece..cause i have a 4 gig memory and dont mind using 1/2 jus for the map

# even if you have a 4G card... — Guest 2007-09-02 10:36

I doubt you can load a map that big. Remember that at least partial of the map will need to load in memory. I tried to a 5mile radius map of my city and I already notice some slowdown...

# to anyone who has a PSP290 and mapthis running — Guest 2007-09-02 10:40

what is your longitude shows when you go to GPSINFO screen (the one that shows how many and which satellite in a list). I have my longitude showing a number like 30x.xx (I am on west cost near Seattle) I see the map saying my map point to longitude as W123.xx And I got a coord out of range message if I try GPS mode after I have the PSP290 hooked up. I see that a screenshot of a 0.4 mapthis showing w###.## but this 0.5 I got is not giving in w###.## but just a number like 300.123 instead. Anyone experience this or I missed out some configuration?
