ROM Hack GPS maps on DS?

[theredbaron]

Hey,
I've seen a few websites claiming to be working on bringing GPS functionality to the DS, but I haven't seen anything concrete? Is there homebrew out there that can do GPS navigation? Obviously there are hardware constraints and it kind of surprises me that there hasn't been a GPS-module cart on the mod scene. If GPS is bust, is there a good app for viewing city maps (NYC in my case) with various zoom levels (all the way down to street level)?

Some guy just hardwired a GPS module to the DS Screen......

Someone started working on a homebrew GPS device and software for the DS.

Yeah that's the one I had seen a while back. I think the person gave up their source code and stopped working on it. Ideally, someone ought to be able to come up with something (hardware or software) that works. I'd love to see a slot-2 gps adapter that runs off of homebrew on a slot 1 card.

DSSerial gives a serial port which you can attach to a GPS reciever.

That was actually quiet funny. Lol

But the idea of a GPS system, even if offline maps would be a cool thing to see, Google earth on DS

But i'm sure there is away to just download a .jpg of a map then load it up on the DS screen.

I've never tried it so I don't know if it has the features you're looking for, but knew I'd read about a mapviewer somewhere...

WHy don't you just download a map of your city or province or state, or w/e, and view it in Moonshell. Download a bunch of maps.

What's a DSerial card? It mentions that in the link superkrm posted.

It's an interface by which you can connect virtually anything to you DS.

Well, if the DSerial goes into Slot-1, then I assume that the GPS thing is only for Slot-2?
