In an earlier article we already told you that the GPS for the PSP will be available for sale in Japan on December 7th, and that it will be sold for 6,000 yen (which is roughly $52 for us). But now, we bring you more information about the PSP GPS such as its technical specs, the games in which the GPS can be used, and other software that would support the GPS. Stay with us as we go through this as quick as we can, and we promise you, you'll be seeing stars after this, and we mean that quite literally.

First, let's tackle the technical specs on this baby. The PSP GPS will have a 20-channel reception system with a frequency of 1575.42MHz (L1 ban, C/A code). It would take 40 seconds before it could acquire your position, and refreshes the information about your location every second after that. The positioning precision is 5m, or 16 ft., which means that its accuracy in reporting your position will be (at most) 16 ft. from where you're actually standing. Pretty cool, huh?

The PSP GPS weighs around 16g, measures 45 x 41 x 17mm (W x H x D), and as you can see in the image above, goes directly into the USB port on your PSP. Now, what can the GPS actually do for your PSP aside from knowing your exact location? You can also use it for astronomic observation via the "Planetarium Creator Homestar Portable" navigation tool, which contains information on over 5 million stars, 300 heavenly objects, and over 15 planetarium style shows. And with the GPS receiver, you'll not only be able to see the stars that are actually over your head, but also get information about them, like this:
