PSP-Maps v1.0

Written by Tech84 on April 27, 2008

The PSP scene is kinda slow these days, sony releasing minor updates, DAX not making any m33 for 3.93 and the 3.95, etc.. maybe DAX’s just waiting for 4.00 to release an m33 update. =)

Anyways, PSP-Maps is a tool that allows you to browse Google Maps, Virtual Earth and Yahoo Maps with your PSP and its WiFi connection. You can move around the map, zoom in and out, cycle through the different available views, search for an address, load/save favorites, etc…

It includes a cache system so you can browse later the maps you have previously seen, even if you don’t have WiFi available. There is also a PC version if you don’t have WiFi at all, so you can build a cache on your computer and copy it to your PSP.

Technically, PSP-Maps connects directly to the servers to fetch the images, it does not use the provided APIs since there are usually in JavaScript and not convenient for a homebrew.

PSP-Maps v1.0 changes:

added GP2X version;
added Google Moon, Google Mars and Google Sky support; if you find the “cheat” code, you can enable these;
fixed Google Terrain view;

Get it here.

    Tech,

    So you mean you have to connect to the network in order to get this working? Wouldn’t that be hard from inside a car.

    Thanks.

    Alright thanks Tech,

    I get it now. I would think recieving a network connection would be difficult in your car. I don’t know, never tried really.

    Alright thanks for the extra help Tech.

    Peace.
