PSP's GPS add-on reviewed

GameBrink has a review up of the PSP's GPS for the curious. While the GPS seems to be a great add-on for Japaneses PSP owners, it isn't nearly as useful for those outside of Japan. While homebrew GPS software does exist for the device, it can't compare to the official software or other GPS devices on the market. So maybe PSP owners should get their GPS fix in a different manner, unless it gets released around here that is.

To read the full review, check out GameBrink.

Sony official GPS now supported by homebrew

Do you have the official PSP GPS accessory? Wish it would ... well, work outside of Japan? No worries. Deniska has updated the popular homebrew GPS application, MAP THIS! to now include support for the official GPS accessory. You'll need open-edition firmware 3.03 OE-B to run this beta application.

While the homebrew community is making incredible strides with projects like this, and support for full-frame video, we at PSP Fanboy are scratching our heads, wondering when Sony will ever "officially" catch up. Certainly, Sony Computer Entertainment of America wouldn't want to snub American PSP owners ... or do they? (Look at the lack of other colors, for starters.) For those that can run homebrew, now's the best time to pick up a GPS device from Play-Asia.

So you ripped open your PSP and put in a GPS system in it. Now what? You get MapThis! from Deniska. The program uses Google Maps, so it should work all around the world. The maps are customizable, and can even show satellite and hybrid maps. Interestingly, the program works on every version of PSP (albeit a bit differently), so those with firmware 1.0 or 2.7 can enjoy Deniska's ambitious project.

You can see a video after the cut.
