Turorial: GPS on PSP with the PSP-290 module

[Pendragon]

Hi there fellow PSPers
I have a imported PSP-290 GPS module (Yeah the original one fon Japan) and run it on my PSP 3.52 M33 PSP here in Sunny Sweden ;)
First of all i made this thread as a "Question" thread because i didn´t have a clue on how to get it working, but now i most defenetly know how and i even made some guides on "How To" for you guys :mrgreenthumbsup: Im not quite finished, i have one tutorial to make but i have included info untill i made a flashguide, those guides takes time to make so :) but this tut is 100% working :mrgreenthumbsup:

Maby a moderator could move this Guide and make it a sticky ?? and perhaps rename it to: The PSP-290 GPS on a PSP tutorial

Pendragons simple 3 step guide on how to get the GPS module PSP-290 working with MapThis on your PSP ;)

Step 2 - Generating maps
For my guide you need gmdl 0.4.18a to generata Maps for MapThis on your PSP.
-> Download GDML from here
-> Or just press here for the gmdl0.4.18a.zip file

Some "how to get the gdml tool to generate maps" can be read here
