AVEC V5 Released with PSP-290 GPS Support: Vector Mapping & GPS Map Viewer


Submitted by greg; September 15, 2009


That's what I'm talking 'bout: PSP-290 GPS support with Art's AVEC. And of course V5 features more than just that; see the full change log below. Two versions are now included: 1) support for serial connected GPS devices using the 1.50 kernel, and 2) support for the PSP-290 GPS accessory on whatever custom firmware.

AVEC -- Vector Mapping & GPS Map Viewer -- V5:
  • Implementation of Deniska's PSP-290 test program routines provides compatibility with the PSP-290.
  • Added signal strength indicator to user mode version of the program for PSP-290.
  • Added colour cycling circle around pointer crosshair to make it easier to see.
  • Improved joystick controlled map rotation feature for track up mode without a GPS device.
  • Greatly improved the speed of rotation routine for faster drawing in track up display mode.
  • Improved accuracy of screen position by removing zoom levels that cause float rounding error. This fixed a bug in the find place by name feature where the found place may not have been on the screen.
  • Fixed bug in screen capture routine. Saved images were horizontally offset by one pixel.
  • Improved text entry method for find place by name feature by implementing optional analogue selector.
  • Fix to projection routines to resolve a problem that caused some lines and polygons to appear squashed toward the bottom of the screen. This may have added a noticeable processing overhead.
Congratulations on owning the Neoflash 2009 Summer Coding Competition in the PSP apps division, and thanks for the PSP-290 support. Cheers! Download: AVEC V5 - source: dcemu

Ah I was wondering when they were going to support the official GPS device now even more of a reason to import it seeing that there are two great home brew programs that work with it.

Does the PSP-290 GPS work on a PSP 1000? I've looked on google and it just says 2000/3000, is that true?
