Edia GPS navigation software gets mapped on the board |

Sony homed-in on an official GPS unit (again, emphasis on "official") a month back. And aside from Deniska's Map This! v0.3 Mapviewer that came out just a few days ago there is no known software for GPS tracking. But now, there's a new player on the map - sorry for the pun.
The company is called Edia (after the FFVIII witch? har, har... ), and they're going to be the first ones to make use of the GPS add-on of Sony. They've come up with a GPS navigation system software for the PSP, and it will have maps of Japan with Point of Interest (POI) capabilities.
Yes, yes, we know. "Why Japan?" Well, it seems likely that America won't have the software anytime soon, but Japan's got first dibs on it. They're getting it as early as December of this year. Let's just all hope that Edia ports their software soon enough. A lot of you guys keep on commenting that one of the top reasons they bought their PSP was because of the GPS capabilities. With Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops coming out real soon, who could blame you?

That's because Japan has the WORST street system and road naming system of all of the first world countries. When you live on a street *officially* called "The Street in Front of the Station," then you know transportation infrastructure here leaves a little to be desired... :(

Im sure when the GPS is released in Europe they will release some mapping software. As i stated before the GPS is really pointless in the UK without mapping software. Either that or they'll not release it at all over here.
Europe is often forgotten because the market isnt as strong as other areas in the world. That dosent mean the market isnt worthwhile at all but it will always come 3rd after Japan and America because of that. The stupid thing is though that maybe if the 3 main games console companies actualy put the investment into europe they might actualy make europe's market more prophetable.
