There are mounts being sold for the PSP that can be attached on the dashboard of the car, or the middle of it. Try checking out Play-Asia for more.

For those type that stick on the windscreen (with suction pad), any one has any experience of it tearing off or distorting the windscreen tinted film?

i totally bought 2. one from Singapore and one from Play-asia.

the Mapthis software working on map viewer but not the GPS on.
in the <start> u can trace the GPS satelite but it said gps device off.

anyone GPS 290 working on his psp ? and mind to test my 2 Unit of the GPS 290?

i give a treat of Meal :3

i was thinking if i could integrate Malsingmaps POIs + Geodata into the Map This! software, well, guess i'll try it out and once i've managed to do so, will post my results here

The 2 pins next to the usb socket is most likely the problem.
Try pulling the pins out a little first before mounting it to the psp.

any update about this topic??

otai2, please update

i just got my psp about a few months but having trouble getting the GPS working..anyone can help?

emmm what seems to be the problem?? we can't help if we don't know what is wrong

i read frm 1st page till tis page twice n i still cant make out wat shud i do im thinking of getting the gps unit, there's only 1 software tat can be used wif our msian map? MapThis? does it do the voice thing, "keep left, keep left, turn left, now" thing? lol i cant seem to find an installation guide though..

yes only one software for GPS for the PSP in malaysia at the moment and it is Mapthis.
If i'm not wrong there is function for the navigation thing but sadly there are no maps with the data(geodata if i'm not wrong) for malaysia.

hmm i think ill download n install mapthis juz to play around so where can i get the map? pg anyway

Dude I doubt anyone will upload a map of penang for you to dload The file will be too big..

i try to download the map using the GMDL
then put inside the software mapviewer_v03 ~> map folder there

i try to use my GPS-290.. at night...
10~20.. to retrieve the satellite data.. to my psp...
then half and hour later.. can used already...
ai.... but i will upset on it..

1. VERY SLOW>>>> the software always said [SPEED WARNING SPEED WARNING SPEED WARNING]

2. Looks like the Google map GMDL is outdated for malaysia map,
cause i try to download the whole KL map.... but.. when i using gps.. while i am driving... the location gps dot on my psp screen there, is not exactly 100% same on the map there...

3. i hope sony malaysia have a own server to let GPS psp go very efficient, just like Singapore, i heard from my customer.. they paid SG 30 per month, using GPS there.. and is fast ....".. how come malaysia still dont have .. sigh..

cuz nobody will pay (30*2.41) for gps every mth here?
bt anyhow maybe i did wrongly cuz my penang map was juz 2mb? hmmmmm

ya.. 1 month RM 80.
if for me... i wont paid.
but for most of people that outstation or intermediate user..
i think they will need it.
cause compare to pda or hp.
psp screen is still the biggest view for anything:)..

hehe

yalo i think unless u get those in built system u cant get any screen bigger thn psp d

yupp it is very slow... but then again it is also not as power consuming as the normal GPS systems.

For the mis alignment thinggy maybe it is the sat signal is weak lah since you are driving in KL. GPS system tends to fail when you are not in the open area.

Well I doubt many will pay for that service when you can do the 1 time investment on other GPS systems.

As for the Penang map the size can vary one. Depends on how much detail you save.

ugh.. i been reading from the starting page till the last page and i cant seem to understand lo...

i was plannin to get a gps for my psp too, but i scare it will ended up useless if i dono wad i'm doin..

guys, as for start when i get the gps, wad is the first thing i shud do? eg.dl map? setting this n that? go tat site dl maps?? yea sry bcoz tis really confusing me..

If you want a GPS that can direct you to places, this is not for you.
Currently you can only use the gps to get your current location and to track your path(usage in malaysia).
And you might be dissapointed with the GPS signal connection thinggy as it is much slower then the other GPS unit.

Only advantage you get is.
- Bigger screen
- homebrew(open possiblilty that there will be more dev for this..or maybe not)
- less power cousumption(can work longer then most GPS system)
- Map is FOC from goggle map.
