my friend said he saw GPS for PSP in msia ... is it true ? if it is.. how much is it ???

thx thx

Few people in this forum have the GPS.
Price at about RM220-250, IIRC.

GPS does work in Malaysia. But for PSP, you will need to generate map yourself (from online source ie. MSN map, etc)
There is application to help you with this.

Our fellow moderator Ninja will be able to enlighthen you more on the PSP GPS.

I already asked them before. Looks like we have to convert the Malsings map to a format that MapThis can use.

ninja, where u buy the GPS?? i want to buy but can we use it to navigate in malaysia?

IF there are compatible maps, yes definitely you can use it to navigate in Malaysia.

not sure about malaysia
but it is available in singapore edy

Bought mine at Lowyat Plaza. You can find a few shops in Sg.Wang selling the GPS also.

And, it can be use to navigate in Malaysia by using MapThis! homebrew with MSN Local Live maps, although it's not that detail. That's why I'm asking the people at Malsings whether we can convert their maps to MapThis format.

Just a question, my aunty has a portable GPS unit (not for PSP). It comes with MapKing. So, can I use that map, and copy to the PSP's GPS unit (or some sort like that)?

Well, I myself not sure how MapThis! works though (at least not yet seen).

Nope, it does not work that way.. MapThis is using their own format. Maps was extracted from Google Maps and MSN Local Live maps and save as compressed GPSFS raster file format.

Ok, I can't copy. So, meaning that MapKing format is different from Mapthis!, right?

And also, MapThis! can only compresses some sort of map like Google/MSN Maps only and not from other map software? Correcto?

Yup, the only source for maps in MapThis is limited to Google/MSN Maps. Although you can create your custom maps by using JPEG/PNG format, it will be pain in the ass to intergrate the maps with the latitude and longitude of the GPS.

But, definitely it works. I've tried it before with Kuala Lumpur maps extracted from MSN Local Live.

Ok, thanks. Perhaps you can share the converted maps to us.

Does it covered Shah Alam, Subang Jaya or maybe Puchong and Kajang area too? Or I need to cenvert it myself?

I was asked before to create a tutorial on this. Totally forgot.

Well, will create the tutorial as soon as possible. Currently, quite busy with work.

That would be great! Looking forward to it.

TQ.. TQ...

i waiting for u to make tutorial. if possible, add the map of malaysia that can be use with GPS.

Hardware available now at bulk order.
