AVEC V6 Released: Now with 3D Terrain


Submitted by greg; September 25, 2009


I received my PSP-290 (GPS device) a few days back and I must say, AVEC is pretty bad ass, especially the turn-by-turn navigation business. Now with 3D terrain mode and improved MPI routines, we present: Art's AVEC V6.
AVEC V6 Screenshot
I've been using this site to get my maps; I'm not sure what's with all the religious POIs in my area. Oh yeah, I also recommend you use the included MP Converter tool; having the PSP do this takes forever. AVEC V6 Changes:
  • Implemented 3D terrain view mode for topographic maps with two configurable terrain exaggeration levels.
  • Fixed bug present only in user mode version where the grid was not rotating with map while in GPS mode.
  • Removed canvas size option from the configuration menu.
  • Changed position indicator slightly to improve visibility.
  • Added street names to map display at highest zoom level if street names are available in the map file.
  • Fixed zoom routine to ensure highest zoom level is always available.
  • Changed the default GPS mode zoom level to the highest zoom level.
  • Removed delays in image capture routine that were not supposed to be present in any public release.
  • Improved the look and the control of scrolling in the configuration menu.
  • Sound now works in GPS mode for user mode version only. USB GPS routines are running in a dedicated thread.
  • Implemented new compressed mpi file format resulting in faster map file searching and smaller file size.
  • The PSP-290 USB GPS unit can now be plugged in after the user mode version of the program has started.
  • Fixed bug in mpi converter routine. Program would crash if a street name began with an open bracket character.
  • Program no longer adjusts the PSP clock speed. By default, the PSP will run at 222MHz.

Fuck Sony
Fuck DA
and, Facebook user/loser.

Im holding a Burn Your PSP day at the Sony head office on the eve of the Go launch. Feel free to bring your PSP’s to burn it in our epic bon fire, so that we can give our psp’s the final solute they deserve before their ashes shit on the front steps of the Sony execs.

We have hotdogs and sausage rolls provided for all and kerosene is available free of charge. For $5 we’ll convert your psp into a molotov cocktail bomb incase the riot police squads decide to show up.

Viva La Revolution!

Lol, what did I do to you?!

I will be there with my boyfriend, he wants to burn his psp in protest aswell. I will be dressed in a princess peach costume in outrage of Sony, so you can easily spot me out if you want to say hello.

THE REVOLUTION STARTS WITH YOU!

By the way, I have to make a 1 hour train ride and a 15 minute bus ride to get there, but its worth it!

it's a neat concept but a waste of time . just spend the a few bucks more and get a real gps . they are cheaper to buy and more reliable than this homebrew stuff . noce job on the app but i'll stick with my garmin .

the real software for the psp gps is rated pretty dammed high. at 79$ its alot cheaper then a real gps if you aruldy have a psp. the us version was announced its supposed to come out some time this year. then again if you have a laptop a usb gps is around 20$ thats what i have it works dammed well. bein laptops have had gps for a very long time. some netbooks have integrated gps.

I definitely would like to see the next generation of the Apple A4 chip. Hopefully it"s 1.2Ghz. It quicktime video converter would love the see the option of a 1.2 and a 1.4Ghz iPad 2 maybe with 128GB and the ability to sync your iPhone to it. Ok, I know I"m dreaming now.Mail now shows attachments and their total size, across from "cc, bcc, etc" and when clicked on, one gets the option to choose to make it smaller… Small, medium, big, and original size" or some such, with the corresponding size listed next them.Mail now shows attachments and their total size, across from "cc, bcc, etc" and when clicked on, one gets the option to choose to make it smaller… Small, medium, big, and original size" or some such, with the corresponding size listed next them.

Some other places that may have dental assistant work include physician offices, public institutions, and the armed forces.

Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
