Hi there.
Anyone know where to buy the GPS add on for PSP Lite?
I've been searching it all over Low yat and it seems to be sold out ages ago.

Got the GPS unit already but can't seems to get it work with mapthis.

The GPS status is always off. Anyone have any idea what's wrong?

There is a software to dload maps from Google maps called gmdl0.5.04b.
Check out this link

About the bandwidth I think its quite ok because I was dloading Anime at the same time and I get about 30kb for my Anime.

Yes dude. The map of penang for PSP is kindda huge if you take the whole island. Dload with GMDL lah. The software can be dloaded from the link i posted above

Yes it is working in Malaysia

I do agree the software lacks of navigation but then again, maps and software + source code is foc.
Paper map?? I don't think so.

worth it or not? depends on what you're looking for. If you have not notice, GPS homebrew app development is still very young for PSP. Give it some time and it might just meet what you're looking for IMHO.

The only complain i have is that the receiver unit seems fragile.

Mapthis works with 3.8m33-4. I', using it without a problem. I don't think there will be any problem with 3.71 also as long as you install mapthis properly(needs to copy 2 prx files from flash0 (usbacc and usbgps).

Ok for 3.71, toggle flash0 and get the usbacc.pxr and usbgps.pxr file from the kd folder.
Then copy them to the mapthis folder.
Make sure both mapthis and %mapthis folder is in PSP\Game371.

Hope this helps
And yes you can run mapthis without the gps unit.

to toggle flash0 turn off your psp by holding the off switch up. Hold it till the psp shuts down.
Then hold down R and turn on your psp.
You shold be in recovery mode.
Go to advance.
Plug in your usb cable.
Go toToggle USB flash0.
In your pc you'll find your psp as a removable drive.
You'll find the kd folder in that drive. The folder is hidden so you got to turn on view hidden folder option in your folder options.
You'll get the files there.

Damn...I think you're screwed....

I'm not sure if you could ever play a game with your psp anymore.

Hmmm I've asked around and I was mistaken. Only if you format flash0 then you're really screwed.

Ok what you need to do to restore your psp now is to get the entire flash1 files and folders from someone else's psp. Then copy them back to your psp. Remember this method will not work for Flash0 as Flash0 is unique to each psp.

Mapthis work for both fat n slim

Are you using GDML ?? if so there should not be any difference.

Yes for the moment is only that. Unless you can somehow create geodata for kl map, then it can guide you to places. I read up somewhere if you can somehow define POIs it can somehow use that data to guide you too but have not tried it out yet.

I'm afraid so couze the OFW don't support homebrew.

yupp...
But I won't give high hopes on maps for malaysia... unless the software supports 3rd party maps.

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.

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