Map What? Map This! v0.4 Released
greg | December 8, 2006
Its never been featured on PSP Hacks but certainly it deserves a spot; that’s Deniska’s Map This!
Map This! is a complete map viewer and satellite navigation app for the PSP supporting select GPS devices. GPS/satellite functionality is only available if you’re running firmware 1.50. Otherwise you’re left in non-GPS mode; a fully functional map viewer for later homebrew capable firmwares.
There’s a tremendous amount of know-how involved with this application — take your time and read slow. It’s recommended you check out the Map This! wiki page for instructional details.
Map This! v0.4 changes:
- GPSFS format support. Map tiles are stored in a custom format for much faster transfer and access rate.
- Zip support for maps is discontinued (since it was too slow for large maps)
- Added logic for low baud GPS devices (by Zero Altitude). To activate put SLOW_GPS=1 in config.txt
- Straight and path distance calculation in map mode
- Ability to add POI. ([X] in Map Mode)
- POI search / display. ([O] from Attraction selector screen). List the names of up to 100 closest points of interest, which match your search criteria together with distances from current location
- Variable read-speed for “GPS from file” mode (FAKEFEED=1). While re-playing your pre-recorded GPS data, press [X] to toggle re-play speed between x1,x3,x5,x7 speeds
- Last position recall. The application memorizes the latest position and zoom settings for each map.
- Improved map rotation logic for TRACK-UP mode. Use TURNSPEED variable in config.txt to specify the minimum speed at which screen rotation takes place. This allows to reduce screen rotation due to deviation in GPS coordinates while the device is not moving or moving slowly.
- Google maps version updated to most recent in WIFI download mode.
- “No UMD” bug is fixed. GPS read functionality does not depend on UMD in drive, wifi switch or hold button position.
- STARTUPMAP=… option in config.txt allows to go directly to a specified map and enables the GPS mode.
- Improved and hopefully mode informative help screen ([START] button)
- New (faster) garbage collection logic (old logic used to crash application on large maps)
- More accurate distance calculation in GPS mode.
- Code cleanup (source code attached)
- New version of Windows Map Download Tool by in7ane (GPSFS conversion/support, new map vendors and much more)
Download: Map This! v0.4
Great work Deniska!

So… will this work with the new gps that sony is selling. It just got out today in japan. Maybe then I buy it and use this.
I don’t get it, so you need a GPS accessory?
some mobile phones have gps on them
Haha so 1.5 still is the best firmware ;-)
your gay oogie!
Wow! Thats amazin!
oogie i really need my sword buddy..
Also this shows the capability of the people behind psp hacking and is a sign for sony to enbrace us and all we stand for!
raigov, i am from devil may cry 1,2,3 BOW DOWN

Works great on 2.71 SE-C
Hi

how does this work ? as in how does it connect to the satellite? dose the wifi on the psp have the power to connect???
wow looks amazing it would b kl if u could get satalite images from google as well as the maps
ur dad
This works anywhere in the world simply download some maps for your area. You have to attach a gps through your psp’s serial port to make it work. If you feel up to it you can steal the cable off your psp remote control then its quite simple to attach it to a gps.
can…someone actaully explain this ?
aye i was going to say that… hows about a link to how to actually sort out a gps unit to a psp so we can use this prog
if you go here, Map This! wiki page, it’ll detail everything for you. Including some working GPS devices:
we dont even get a gps thingy for psp in our country.
So im going to import one,i hope it works
and once again psp1.5 is still the best homebrew compatible
Hi,
So does this also work with Sony’s GPS add-on for the PSP?
Thanks
it says in the readme memstick must be formatted with fat32. which is a problem for me as i used to have mine as fat32 and after exhausting all other possibilitys found that it was that that was causing my gta:vcs to lag like crazy. it may cause problems with some other games to. can anyojne confirm if it works without formatting stick to fat32
psprox - it works w/o fat 32
skeeve666 - all info is @ deniska.dcemu.co.uk
Well i got it installed and it works fine but when i tried to use google map finder and located the city i want, i made a poi file and put it in my maps folder. Now when i loaded map this and loaded my file it says please wait while loading map and its been 15 min and nothing loaded….can anyone help me?
man… after all this time ppl thought u had to buy the gps system. but 1337 h4xx0rZ came forth and pwned Sony once again. stick that in ur anoos sony!!!!!!!!!!
hahahahahhahahahaa
Well i got the map to work now but does anyone know how to make it show you where you are drving too, like actual movment…or do u need to purchase a GPS in order to do that?
of course u need the gps unit
anyone tried this with the new release sony official gps for psp? i am still waiting mine in transit
does this work on the 2.8 eloader? just the maps?
If you don’t have the gps is it possible to select a route from A to B”download a map from google” and that it tell you what the distance is.
This stuff is too damn slow, I fall asleep when I drive my car with a GPS like this.
All i got was a map of London. I live in the US.
this fucking guy is in Brooklyn NY i live right around where he is
