AVEC GPS V6

Hi Guys,
AVEC GPS is a vector GPS mapping program for the Sony PSP.

3D Contour View

Find Place by Name

Menu

New for version 6 is the 3D terrain mode, labeled streets, much smaller map files,
and a bunch of other stuff :)
If you don't have a GPS device, but still want to play with it, just open one of the sample maps
and start moving the direction pad and analogue joystick.

Backup Download link for AVEC V6:
Send big files the easy way. Files too large for email attachments? No problem!

That's really impressive ork.
Congrats and thanks for the good App.Personnally, I don't have any sort of GPS Vector, but I can see how usefull this brew is.
Nice Idea for sample maps.I'll definitely try'em.
Thanks again.

This just keeps getting better and better art, good work, keep it up :).

great job on another supurbe update

**sonamta** · 09-25-2009, 03:20 PM

Thanks man, very nice app.

Thanks guys, I'm working now on a new supported file type called a "set file" which is a text file that defines
a set of map tiles that are joined to each other. Then as you drive off the edge of one map, another is auto loaded.

**slasher101** · 09-25-2009, 08:04 PM

Good idea. Can't test though

**Art** · 09-25-2009, 08:22 PM

Well you can actually, you don't need a GPS to move the map pointer ;)

**dragon92** · 09-26-2009, 12:39 AM

Thanks again!But I guess I have to make my maps again since the old ones are not working.
Well,another thing.I see your second screenshot.Can't you make it after you enter one road name to have an option to enter another one and to highlight a route between them the same way?If you get what I'm trying to say.You said that the auto routing part is stripped from the map.However if there is information about the direction of the traffic(one-way,two-way,etc)it must be possible to calculate a route from one place to another without the need of a default planning calculator.I don't need to be told where I have to turn,but I essentially need to see how to go to a certain place on the map.Or at least an external route maker like in MapThis!,or anything whatsoever,since this is something of vital importance.

And another question:why did you choose the polish format for the maps?The whole map of my country is 18 megabytes in .img,whereas when converted in .mp it becomes around 100mb.I don't actually know why the size bloats so violently when I convert it.

Speaking of conversion:this probably has been discussed already,but why does the MP Converter freeze when I click away from the window?That means that I can't do anything else on the computer,so my only option is to leave it on overnight to convert the map.

Seriously,if I had the money I was planning to pay for Go!Explore I would have gladly donated 30 pounds for the development of this software!:icon_bigg And I look forward to see more improvements like navigation and bigger map support!

Maps are now half the size, and with the arrangement in the upcoming V7, detailed maps of a whole country can be used
since the new set file allows you to drive off one map tile, and onto another.

Speaking of conversion:this probably has been discussed already,but why does the MP Converter freeze when I click away from the window?That means that I can't do anything else on the computer,so my only option is to leave it on overnight to convert the map.

It's probably hogging too much CPU time.. an issue I haven't tried to address yet.

And another question:why did you choose the polish format for the maps?The whole map of my country is 18 megabytes in .img,whereas when converted in .mp it becomes around 100mb.I don't actually know why the size bloats so violently when I convert it.

Because the Polish format is plain ascii Human readable text.
The way I reduced the size for the V6 converter is representing the coordinate floats with four bytes each
instead of ascii text.

Seriously,if I had the money I was planning to pay for Go!Explore I would have gladly donated 30 pounds for the development of this software!

I'd prefer Go Explore to be honest :) but they didn't do their app with a 2D graphics library.

Can't you make it after you enter one road name to have an option to enter another one and to highlight a route between them the same way?

Yes, I know how it should work in the interface, but,
No, that function just highlights the first line segment with the label you searched for.
It draws the line again in a different colour. That's not anything like a pathfinding algorithm.

I think track logging is a more useful feature for me, since I already have an auto routing GPS.
It logs tracks too, but I think I can better visually represent them.

Thanks for the answer!I can't wait for the next release!

**RyanF** · 09-26-2009, 04:25 PM

Another great update. Thanks Art!

The user mode version for PSP-290 should work on the slim (with or without the GPS attached).
