vmap psp 1.3

Intro

After a few month struggle, I let vector map (ESRI shapefile) working
on Sony Playstation Portable(1.5 or 3.x OEC). For font support, I
rewrite most code.
I name it vmap (which is the remix of vector and map) after my former
works on moby.cn website.

Features
. Any vector map format (ESRI shapefile only now, other format could
be tranfered to
it by Mapinfo or 3rd party tools).
. English and chinese font support, most dbf attribute information
could display.
. Configure file (config.txt) for customize map file for your self.
. PSP buttons control map explore and surfing
. a sample map (simple mexico map in ESRI shapefile format, which I got
from Internet)

To do list:
.Better GUI
.Perfmance
.Better i18n
.Truetype font
.GPS devices (Sony PSP-290 or Moby Cables with Holux GPS)

Top stuff! :)

Are you able to decompile commercial mapping software to use with it?
I am able to pull apart Garmin Mapsource. I'll take a look.
Cheers, Art.

Edit,,
After playing around I was able to load a map of my own country :)
Here's a site that provides free basemaps:

it's a shame there's no more documentation, but I'm keen to see what comes of it :)

Any detail on how you converted Garmin?
I have my own created topographs in Garmin format that would be great to convert.
Maybe they are small enough.
