» I doubt there will be a US version...
For Japanese like to keep good stuffs for their own.. they wouldn't even freaking ship their home grown rice out of japan (and no, those so called japanese Rice bought in America is probably grown inside US) =P
But then I could be wrong... of course I am always wrong... so let's hope I-am-wrong

» Good or bad for japanese
I don't know if the fact that it's already sold out in japan means that they all eventually get lost and need something to help. Hehe. Nah, joke aside this is really something I would get to complete my car's PSP adaptation (I don't know how to call it, so, let's call it like this).
Already my PSP can play mp3s, videos, control my car radio (thanks to PSP Universal Remote), tell me the time (duh), display maps and all this joined into a nice entertainment system with emulators (gpSP rocks, as well the SNES and Genesis emus) whenever you are on a pause from a long day driving. Now, include a GPS in the lot ? You got the ultimate car utility ! Ok, there would be need of some other features that probably the PSP won't ever have for some reasons, but at least, it's already something. All that for even less than buying all those stuff for your car !
I mean... you got the choice of paying almost 3,500$ (and I am sure I am waaaaay offf) for all this, or pay what... the PSP is around 250$ now ? Even less ? And it can do all that !
Well, I just hope that lavino is wrong, and that we'll get it !

» Ever been to Japan, Max?
Hello,
This summer I had a round trip of japan visiting 5 major japanese citys. Yes, I speak Japanese, and no, it was no guided tour.
I brought "Minna no Chizu" (the normal PSP map) to get around.
So I have to correct you: In japan, most streets run in rechtangular grids (nearly all of them). However, the smaller streets do not have names. Your adress is allways in coordinates of the grid you live in.
Street name signs are few and far between.
However, with mina no chizu is comftable, because convinient stores and chain restaurants are marked. Since they are everywhere, you can use them for orientation.
With GPS, that problem dissapears completely.

The only time I was in Japan was when my plane got rerouted to Tokyo. I was there in the airport for 4 hours, and I had a blast.
You caught me. I exaggerate the whole rectangular grids thing, but...
My friends in Japan (I so want to move there; my best drinking buddy is now an English teacher there) confirm what you say - the street scheme isn't that bad. But really, when you look at a map of the older cities, the streets in an area run in grids, but then there are these diagonals, and broken lines, and then getting from one grid to another grid means navigating through curvy streets along rivers... And there are places where this grid runs east-west-and-north-south, but the next grid over is southeast-northwest-and-north-south, and the next grid over is next to a river so it tries to be a grid but has these wobbly bits, and if you're just going on instinct, by the time you get across the three grids, you don't know which direction you're facing. LOL So yes, you're right, they are in grids. But no, I insist it's still a mess. And being a guy, I *never* stop for directions. But being a wuss, I have no sense of direction. Hehe.
I got lost in Fort Dodge, IA.

» britain
in britain (and europe in general), gridded streets systems are actually pretty rare. In britain cities are laid out with a ring road that goes around the outside of the city, and roads going into the middle
just thought i'd let you know ;D
