PSP-Maps v0.4: browse maps offline using the cache

PSP-Maps v0.4 - Image 1Homebrew developer Royale has released a new version of his PSP-Maps application, bumping it up to version 0.4. If you haven't heard of this app, it's a map reader for your PSP, patterned after Google Maps, yet without using the Google Maps API.

As you can probably guess, this new version comes with some nifty additions, which we've outlined below:

  • added a cache on the memory stick
  • allows offline browsing of maps in the cache
  • added a configuration file
  • added options to disable disk cache and transition effects
  • added an error image when view is not available
  • better zoom level (thanks to elefas for the tip)
If you've got a geography test to study for, then you may want to keep this around as a handy guide. There's also something cool about being able to use your PSP to locate places you've never been to before. In any case, give it a try and see how it works for you.

 » Great :D
Before I make these suggestions I think this program is great, I signed up just to tell you how good it is :)
This is not critism, I think this program is amazing just I have some things that may improve it,

If cache becomes over a certain size that is quite large, that it would be able to be compressed? Not sure if thats worth the trouble but just a suggestion. In the program menu, an information menu just telling the user what buttons do what etc.

Possibly be able to put "push-pins" on the map?

Be able to make "directions" so you could use it to get somewhere, that could be hard but I think that would also be good.

Overall I think its great, really useful for when I need to find my way around places. Cheers :)
