I am pretty ,much done with a basic scrolling map solution. Basic means there is not route calculation and some other goodies yet, but you surely can drive and see in real time where you are on the zoomable map http://deniska.dcemu.co.uk/ to poster #31: just check out my project site..

In fact, I think that his comment (#29) should be a banner at the top of every comment thread. I just wanted to mention that koft hit it on the head.

Like promised. And at least it doesnt reek idiotic corporate spoonfeeding of pseudo technical steps on how to create a god damn led throwie, so the IT yuppies can all feel hax0r and squiggly in their pants because you know, they played with that bit of magic that resides in consumer electronics. In the end they're not here to learn nor share, they're here because thats where the DIY/Make bandwagon brought them, thanks to communicative strategies and marketing based on freely available user created content. And for those who think that the material presented here is too complicated well then I suggest everyone just dumb down their brain to suit everyone's liking. Then we'll become one big mass of bird-minded flashy-object seeking capitalist whores. Oh wait, that's alrea.. ;p Hey its still one hack, every day. Like promised.

On another note, I think this hack isn't overly brilliant in itself, but opens up the way for more useful PSP hacks. The effort required to impliment a moving-map system for the PSP is astronomical and, considering there are so many other cost-effective solutions around, I think that this system probably won't take off. That being said, I think that this hack has the potential to spawn other, perhaps more useful PSP hacks, for instance, using the PSP as a game controller by sending control commands over the serial port (you could also do that over WiFi, if you wanted a kickass wireless controller.) Anyway, enough from me. Peace. While I will admit that I miss the regularity of the previous hackaday updates, this site is still pretty kickass, so keep up the good work.
