MapThis! 0.4.60 Beta Released
greg | January 11, 2007
Never get lost again with Deniska’s Map This! — the fully functional map viewer and GPS software for the PSP. With a little know-how you’ll soon be on your way to the nearest strip club.

0.4.60 Beta changes:
- address lookup for US addresses (via TIGER line data)
- reverse lookup (shows the closest known house numbers or intersections)
- new logo, startup screen, wallpaper (contributed by DaxDce)
- re-designed interface: new fonts, menus, some layout changes, more skinable data panels, battery & signal icons, etc..
- some bug fixes: clock desplay, POI layout problem, etc.
- bundled with small NYC map and corresponding geodata file. (~1Mb)
Creation of US geodata file:
I provided a set of scripts & programs (all with sources) to get the Tiger Line data from US Census Bureau. They have been tested under cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com)…
Perhaps someone (in7ane?) could convert that code in to some kind of GUI program.To generate the geodata file for a state do following:
- copy geocoder folder to your cygwin home directory
- navigate to that folder (using cd command) under cygwin prompt.
- run following command:
./geo-map.sh [2-letter state abbreviation in capitals]
Example: ./geo-map.sh NY- wait for a few hours while it creates geodata.dat file
- copy geodata.dat file to your map’s folder.
Great news for US residents… I hope something similar is available for Canada. :)

Does this work with Sony’s GPS Receiver for the PSP?
I know this is a dumb question but how do you install this program onto the psp?
dono is it for us only wot about uk
do i need a gps system to make this work?
no
Great app, how about a uk map please
A UK map would make this better
a EU map you mean or world map
Is there a Map for CANADA? Screw the US!
thats what im trying to say screw usa they can suck my nuts something for the Canadians.
we well rock ur balls America
Eww. Your name is Stacy and your saying suck my nuts… Canada = Transvestites?
I’ve got a male friend whose name is Stacy. dont be quick to assume. Either way its a pretty funny turn of phrase, especially coming from a chick.
And the sentiment’s correct. Fuck everything being US only, what about the rest of the world. I want an Australian one dammit.
Australia sucks, go screw a kangaroo mate
really now, what would you use something like this in Australia for anyway, to drive around in circles? its a freakin island…
i am a post op tranny
sigh…
complain complain complain…
who gives a damn?
what’s so different? if you don’t like it then dont get it. if you can do something about it then do it.
idiots…. maybe the person who made it is from us. AND just MAYBE it was CONVINIENT for HIM to make the map for US. WHY should HE make a MAP for complainers such as you people. Ask him nicely maybe he’ll make you one
You have to make the maps yourself. The only map it comes with is New york.. So its not even US anyway its probably just where the creator lives.
OMG eww a post op tranny stacy = eww no wonder Canada is so gay.
O yeah wow canadians and more canadians. “WE will rock ur balls” all u guys are known for is “We surrender”. How do u guys even plan to rock our balls? Thats the funniest shit i heard all day. Good one.
why dont you canadians invent your own hack’s then!! GOD BLESS AMERICA
dude you’re such an idiot, the creators of psp-hacks are canadian and live it toronto. you’re such a typical retarded american.
Srew US and Canada, give us a map over the land of the Vikings!!! Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia rocks!!!!
The only shit id screw in scandenavia is your women. I believe the word is screw ur women. As for the transvestites u call men let then gang bang the canadian flag.
This uses google maps, so yes
stupidasses you make your own map through google maps.And us is the best thats why they only a US map
Maybe there’s only a US map because it was made in America. -_- And you shouldn’t talk about Canadians when your president is so DAMN stupid! He’s sending more soldiers to Iraq. And he’s on drugs! If you’ve seen that episode of Jon Stewart, you see a clip where George says, “my opinions told me…” His opinions told HIM!? WTH? He’s HIGH. Your opinions don’t talk to you.
this homebrew rules forever … and works on 3.03 oa-b allsoo….
i would love to comment the compression proggy so here i go ill try the shit rigth away ..
its nice to see the psp doubles as a nav. system as well as a spy device.damn my psp is almost better than my computer now
u said it …. i love it !
If theres a map for whole west europe then ur the man. I can give you ten kits of button fixers, which i have not.
try donwloading the version made before this one … it includes the program to MAKE the maps .. ” u need to know how to read thoe ” … but it SO much worth it … iv made maps on only 20 mb´s that include over 2100 km per radius with the 1 version … so i wonder what can the kompression tool do here i really need a simple guide to know how to do this great shit
sry thats 210 km NOT 2100
woundn´t waste my time and cpu on a 2100 dont worry ..
Anyone else using 3.03OE-B notice that you can’t exit the program with the “HOME” button?
yup, same here.
i have the same problem .. still this homebrew …. welll if i have to reboot it to use it … heck fuck it … then reboot … i use it anyway … hope for a bug fix thoe . :D
dang it… i notice the same problem…
i’ll probably wait until next update….
this irritates me…
thanks for the great software though. Keep up the goodwork!
push Select to exit the program, first it will take you to the map selection screen, then hit select again and it will exit to the xmb
if someone REALLY need it … i have the map download tool in a rar file …
it just to browse true the map and REMEMBER to zoom in 300 mb radius will take on 1600 mhz cpu several hours to make so have patience… still here is my god damn mail mailto:pspsnuff@hotmail.com and ill give u instructions … and i do have messenger thx
i could MAYBE MAKE the maps for you as it´s not illegal … i love this homebrew
dont worry my not a spy … im a psp user :D !
brah! shatup all you stupid haoles before i go tell jesse boi broke your ass brah
then you will not get any further assistanse in memory kernel areas … u like that ?
There are so many angry and unhappy people that come here lol @ all above. Do you people have anything better to do than make horribly stupid comments?
j/k
but btw any of you guys play world of warcraft?
get lost lamer … wtf are u doing here anyway ?

I cant get the geo data file to generate I keep on getting stuck on step two what exactly do I type in to access the geocoder folder?
Yea Im stuck here to…
how do i access the geocoder from the cgywin
Works mint with 3.03 oe-b and yes you will need a gps dongle converted to 6 pin serial port. No this dont work with sony gps (YET)
So I installed cgywin
Im trying to make a map of
nevada
Im stuck
does this mean we can recruit more people on portable ops using this GPS locator?
Can some one make some sort of tutorial? I would like a map of Atlanta, Georgia!!
Is that cgywin thing needed? This is pretty confusing.
Yes it is to make your map
I cant figure it out though
I need a map of Las vegas, nevada
is used to*
why the fuk do i need a gps if i play the psp at home..and im at my home.. so why do i wanna know where my home is!!
only joking..good stuff ..might be useful if i can think of a reason to use it at all
u get lost 2 …
u are 1 of those that NEVER will be able to sold 2 wires together so just forget it !
this is why everyone should run linux and not windows. My map is building right now, Thank you Ubuntu
shit spoke to soon, it downloads a load of zip files then gets an error. I will keep working on it.
Mine keeps crapping out after the zips are all downloaded too. I’ll look at his bash script once later when I have some time.
yea that is when it craps out is after the zip files are downloaded. I tried it both with win, and linux and get the same error each time. Anyone have a fix for this one?
The bug is in compr.c, not the shell script. On Mac OS X it barfs if there are too many zip code files to process. On Linux it goes into an infinite loop.
Hey! do this program works with 3.02 OE-B or do i need to upgrade to 3.03 OE-A??
Thanx
it works with both
Currently building my geodata.dat file…will update if any issues arise.
can anyone tell me what the CD command is? And is the home dictionary the one created on the desktop? Or is it with all the other folders in the program files
You need cygwin… cd is change directory which is a command you need to run within the cygwin shell.
i need a map for las vegas to. where can i find one?
Ok ummm lets try this again lol…I have Cygwin and im at the Prompt but i have no idea what I need to type in…
cd c:/cygwin/geocoder (my directory yours might be different)
geo-map.sh WV (my state yours might be different)
press enter and wait, I have been having problems though it downloads all the zip files then I get an error msg.
I hope this helps some of the noobs out there.
For some having problems with cygwin ending in an error this might fix it I am trying it out now to see if it works or not I will post a reply here in a sec to let everyone know if it works or not
there is a bug in geo-map.sh
Edit the file. Change line 16 from:
find ./temp -name ‘*36065.ZIP’| { while read zip; do
to
find ./temp -name ‘*.ZIP’| { while read zip; do
deniska is online now Reply With Quote
ok did not work for me now I get line 20, 21, 22, 23 unzip command not found.
Same…its blowing up my terminal window. On his site he did say that was a bug in his script, but it appears his loop is jacked up too.
Hey greg, had one of those “duh” moments. Its because we don’t have unzip installed in cygwin. I am installing it now, that should be why.
It seems to be working now. Will post if it bombs out on something else.
lol yea it was one of those duh moments I am installing unzip now it should fix the problem atleast I hope so.
It is working now, it is going thru zip code by zip code…now the waiting game begins.
If anyone needs any help with cygwin etc let me know.
So far so good. Now it is time to play so socom while it does it thing. God I feel like such a noob. LOL
a note for everyone else you have to edit the script file with what I posted above.
If you don’t know how to edit the script you can download it from my website
http://www.geekvideo.org/geo-map.sh
be sure to visit the site to you might find something you like. http://www.geekvideo.org
LOL I think I deserve a shame less plug…
Well I just got this and I want to make it for Seattle Washing … Well i am in Bremerton about 1 hour away but if you can show me how then that would be great
Thank You BOBGBOB 360

I still need help installing uzip and wget from within cygwin.
You can install packages from the cygwin setup.exe
You’ll need to drill down and find them, I think unzip is under Applications and wget is under Internet (I dont have it here at work so I dont remember what the headings are sorry)
You can find the packages here as well
http://cygwin.com/packages/
IM such a NOOB please help installing on my PSP, I KNOW NOTHIN! :( But great APP i wanna useit!
OK HOW EXACTLY DO I DOWNLOAD A MAP FROM GOOGLE PLEASE EXPLAIN!!
IV BEEN LOOKING BUT NO LUCK
not looking to hard i see, read a few post up, you will find your answer
Thanks Jay Dub that did it!
WTF does this site ever get its news updated?
this had been up for 24 hours and no change, you either need someone else puttting up news or get rid of greg lmfao…know wonder maxconsole rules ..sort it out psp hacks ffs
I only post worthwhile news & hacks. I don’t give a fuck about box art or upcoming game releases. I own and operate the site, I’ll post the stuff only people care about. Go elsewhere if you wanna read about Sega’s Crazy Taxi.
greg worthwhile hacks for us residents? i’m from europe this has no use here and theres been plenty of news about within these 24 hours if u look hard enough and get of your lazy butt.Yesterday Winnydows, the PSP video encoding legend, released his first update since the release of Dark_Alex’s 3.03 OE-B custom firmware to include the ability to encode AVC videos at full resolution (480 x 272) for 3.03 OE-B.
Today he has come out to release another version of the amazing XviD4PSP video converter, fixing a few bugs with this new feature. The XviD4PSP 4.0.4.8 RC1 update sees the maximum possible video bitrates for MP4 PSP video files being added, as well as some bug fixes to make this video encoder even better. Here’s the changelog:
Maximum video bitrate for formats MP4 PSP, MP4 PSP 2.80, MP4 PSP 480 enhanced to 1500.
Change format doesn’t reset bitrate anymore.
Fixed set Delay for DVD with WAV sound.
Fixed framerate change.
Fixed many small bugs with VOB and D2V.
i dont see this as news here?
get a map of Europe, then it will apply to you. And you know what? He’ll probably have another release out tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. Check his official page if that’s all you’re interested in. Show me something worthwhile and I’ll consider posting it, bob.
guys my 4gb mem stick slows my iso games down, how can i increase the speed? its sony pro duo magicgate
Why would you post this with comment about mapthis? ask some questions in the forums. Off topic.
Note to everyone. : I am not the Greg that is the admin/ owner of this site. I just realized that I was posting with the name greg, I hope I did not confuse anyone. I was posting last night with J Dub about some script errors. Sorry Greg if I offended you by semi using your name. So I will now be using the name Geekvideo.
quick question, does this need an active internet connection? or does it actualy use gps satelites cuz I couldnt realy use it if it needs wifi in the car…
nope no wifi needed. I drive all day for my work and this will be great for me to find customers home etc.. with out the outrageous cost of a commercial GPS navigation system.
where can i download a map of the united states for this
Finally got the map made but now I’m stuck on this loading page is there a way to exit this without corrupting the memory stick? Or is it supposed to take this long to load the map?
Ok I had the same problem make sure that when you name the folder that you put your map in place a underscore before the name
Example : _california
I hope this fixes your problems
Can’t we all just get along?
LOL….we all come from a lady’s “you know what” so we’re all come from the same place!
Heh!
Pleaaaaaaase someone help, I dont know how to do anything, How do I get this from my desktop to my psp, HELP!!!!!
