AVEC GPS V4 Released


Submitted by greg; September 09, 2009
I don't have a GPS device for my PSP; but perhaps you do, and if you do, let us and the other non-GPS having folk know what's up. This is Art's AVEC GPS V4 with "track up" display mode. YouTube check it --
Oh, and by the way, you'll need a PSP sportin' the 1.50 kernel. Everything else is documented within the archive. Enjoy. AVEC GPS V4 Changes:
  • Lines for roads increase in thickness at the two highest zoom levels for street maps.
  • Some improvement to map edge detection routine to accommodate large base maps of entire continents.
  • Fixed bug causing two images to be saved for every frame when save frames option is enabled.
  • Zoom level is auto set to high when GPS mode is enabled, but can still be adjusted.
  • GPS parser runs in separate thread so GPS mode is faster, and buttons are responsive in GPS mode.
  • Changed altitude field to speed (kilometers per hour) in GPS information bar.
  • Intro screen is only shown once on first use, then program starts in the file browser screen.
  • Serial port can be restarted if plug is pulled out in GPS mode by turning GPS mode off and on again.
  • Fixed option to show points of interest in GPS mode. This option was present in V3, but did not work.
  • Fixed config loader to prevent program starting in GPS mode, even if saved in configuration menu. Starting in GPS mode caused a problem. This issue may be resolved later to allow starting in GPS mode.
  • Implemented a track up display option in GPS mode so map appears to move in the direction of the vehicle.
  • Implemented map rotation mode using the analogue joystick to rotate the map when GPS mode is off.
  • Implemented image sequence player for playback of previously captured image sequences.
  • Added show grid and canvas size options to configuration menu.
  • Various other improvements.

AH yea that is it I keep meaning to import the GPS. Does MapThis! require constant internet connection for it or will it download the maps and keep them on the psp?
