Do you see your actual position with this app or it's just like you're moving yourself on a map to find the right way?

# some tipsGuest 2006-08-18 04:01
ya you can.. the wifi downloader works great.



cygwin was a bit tough to get working, and it helps to know a little linux to get it rolling, heres my tips



DL cygwin and install it

DL wget and bc (google em up)

dump the zips inot the main bin.. not the user\bin (ie the .exe files)

run the scripts



the logitude/lat is not the center point of the map but rater the top right corner, so some mokeying around is required to pull a map correcly.



enjoy this kickass program, its amazing!

# Hot App.Guest 2006-08-18 04:25
This App is amazing... it would be cool if a custom firmware could be created to make the psp start up as a GPS dev only and then switch back (but that’s just a dream) anyways, it would also be cool if we could use four points on a map to get an entire certain region.



Keep up the good work

# absolute conGuest 2006-08-18 04:25
in your last post about this you's made it sound like our psp was gps ready, like *****e was it.



and now you're praising this app again...fair enough it may work but yes, who has wireless internet whilst driving.



and ffs, full page adverts when trying to see comments, you guys must be rolling in it, I'm taking my business elsewhere, psp-hacks.com, maybe they'll have less ads, and they're not afraid of iso loading.



bye bye

Just wondering, so, you have to get individual maps for city's, you cant get a map for the whole of the UK/England ? - Down to street level of course hehe



THanks, will there be a postcode kind of search soon? Like from A-->b type of thing? Then directions, turn right here etc... ?





Thanks....BEAT TOMTOM!

# How does this work on 1.5Guest 2006-08-18 06:40
I want to try this app, looks awesome and useful.

Few questions:



1) 1.5 has no browser, in the readme you using the browser for everyting, how does that work? is it not for 1.5?



2)Do you have to extract the scripts folder onto your psp and run them from there or on your pc?



seems a little complicated, but I really want to try it.

Any chance of getting a more detailed tutorial on maps?

getting them and how to use them?

# psp.connect.com videosGuest 2006-08-18 07:12
The videos I downloaded from psp.connect.com still need to be converted before my PSP recognizes them. What's the point of this site? I thought they'd be in PSP format already.

13) no you don't need the reciever, its works GREAT just viewing the maps on its own.. GPS will just track you position on these maps. You can use other recievers guy said, but need to edit the config to suite you module (could be tough)



14) maps Need to be DL'd on you PSP (using program) or on your computer (using cygwin)



15) "browser" refers to teh program.. you can also use the web browser to view the maps that cygwin exports using the extra script provided.



dump the scripts into you "home" directory in cygwin once its installed on your PC.. You also NEED "wget" and "bc" google these bad boys and install them to the "bin" direcotry (theres a bunch of other .exe files there)



now boot cygwin and run the scripts.. type "ls" to list the files if you can't remember the name of the script.. sit back and watch it download, now you are cooken



16) ya there needs to be more description on how to get cygwin setup, its confusing as hell to get going, a prepackaged program all setup with the scripts would be nice QJ admins...

is there a tutorial on using cygwin and bc, wget etc!?!!?

i got em but i cant get the script to run properly!!!

Reply
 

 
# ./Guest 2006-08-19 06:39
copy the script folder to your cygwin home folder

use "cd scripts" to change the dir

use "./sript.sh" (e.g. "./getmaps.sh") to start the script.

# Still doesn't workGuest 2006-08-19 17:58
I copied the script folder and ran the getmap.sh script but I like 300lines of errors saying something like

"/usr/bin/getmap.sh: line##: wget: command not found"



mayb something to do with installing wget properly? im so confused :(

Reply
 

 
# same problemGuest 2006-08-20 01:01
first i get some bc command not found errors and then this wget command not found errors.

Are wget and bc not included in cygwin?

How to install them manually?

# CygwinGuest 2006-08-20 01:15
You can choose to install them manually when you install Cygwin, just tick the box or whatever it is during installation of components

However I still can't get it to work :\
