MapThis is an awesome GPS sat nav homebrew application. Although it might require quite a bit of little fiddling before you can get it working - it is totally worth the effort! MapThis uses images from Google Maps so nearly every developed area on Earth is covered. It also tells you speed, direction, altitude, latitude and longitude.

 

In order to get the GPS running, you will need a PSP that is capable of running Homebrew

 

The time needed to have a lock depends on your surroundings. The fastest I ever had was 5 locks in 30 seconds. I was in an open field.

 

You may fiddle with the settings by pressing Start. Many users have reported that lowering the CPU speed to 222 or 89 improves locks. Experiment with the settings and find out what is best for you.

 

There are of course more, but where is the fun if we tell you everything?

 

Try it out and good luck!

 

Eastgear pte ltd is also selling them.

Thanks bro for your kind explanation, frankly speaking I am nuts in all these IT tech stuffs and only came to know about this GPS on PSP after I bought 1 for my kid last week. Can you recommend me anyone whereby he can setup, download the software and fix the thing for me ?

[Mivec9]

I'm lazy to try on my psp....hee prefer to just play games with it.

I just ordered a Nuvi 350 too from Amazon. It's about US$250 shipped.

I just pickup from a friend's home here in US.

Good to use for my stay here and also with free malsingmap, it's ..

[Mivec9]

i'm also a noob...i pick up the knowledge along the way. At first i hesitate with the blurry mapsource thingy....just jump in to try, just to get the latest map...heh heh.

 

i recommend u go qishan to buy. He can help u with all these thingy. He is a local dealer of psp and accessories. Guess now out of stock for the gps module.

[Fyrus]

Wow..That's great... The price is really attractive!!

[Mivec9]

local set cost probably 590 bucks without any map for 300 Nuvi with TTS, but 1 year local warranty.

[Mivec9]

you are not local? good buy....guess more will jump in instead going to local to save some $$
