Sony PSP GPS?

[Decibel]

Is anyone here successfully using Sony's PSP-290 GPS attachment with their PSPs in the car? Am thinking of buying it but would like to get some feedback on it before I do.

 

 

Cheers!

You should be able to get it at most shops which sells psps, around $90+

 

I believe the software bundled with it will not work properly here, but there is a 3rd party software called MapThis which seems to be able to as it uses imagery from google maps. What I do not know is whether it will be hassle-free to use the software, was hoping some people here are users

Not too sure, what sort of format are those map files in?

Do you know anything about how the gps works locally? Possible to try out at your shop?

Read somewhere that its only available at Jepun now but must buy additional antenna. I suggest u buy a proper GPS bcos some PDAs, phones or other gadgets that coupled with GPS may have a lot of software and hardware issues (the antenna is a good example - these gadgets as they are not really designed to be a GPS, the antenna may not be that strong... some may not even get any signal in a car with solar film). A proper GPS is not really that very expensive nowadays.
