GPS-360 to PSP!

Phil | August 1, 2006

A_Fn_NOOB down at Dcemu has been working on a GPS-360 that supposedly runs with the PSP, Here is the article -

A_Fn_NOOB

Inspired by ‘Deniska’, I decided to make a cable to interface a GPS reciever I had collecting dust for some time. Its the Pharos GPS-360 with Microsoft branding; packaged with Streets & Trips 2005. It uses the SIRF-II chip, and communicates with the PSP at the same voltage (2.5V), and (default) protocol (4800 8N1 TTL) as the PSP. These units can be found new and used for dirt cheap

From the research I have done, any GPS can be interfaced with the PSP. Some units however would require more hardware/software modifications than the SIRF-II based GPS recievers.

If anyone has any questions on the particulars of how to do this, I will happily post more details of the pinouts, and the version of deniska’s GPS-Viewer that I compiled to work with 4800-baud GPS units. (By far the most common speed)

keedier, where did you come up with that? Hilarious.

Anyways a tutorial on this would be great. I’ve got a Garmin GPS and would like to try to hook it up. I use my GPS to connect to streets and trips so I would think it could work. Guess I’ll have to do some research to see if my Garmin uses the SIRF-II GPS chip.
