{{#seo: |title= (Other apps) - GameBrew |title_mode=append |image=gbagps2.png |image_alt=GBA GPS mapping receiver }} GBA GPS is an aplications that allows you to use Game Boy Advance as a mapping receiver and scan maps with a GPS device. ==Features== *Up to 20 maps (raster images (scanned maps, satellite images, whatever) of any size. *Automatic (searches appropriate map when position is out of the current map) or manual switch between maps. *Always holds current position on the map at the screen center by fast (but in dependence on the speed) and precise scrolling of the map). *Browse mode allows to view maps (pretty similar to GPS picture viewer). *GPS fix can be shown/hidden (Time, Number of satellites, Latitude, Longitude and Altitude). *Adjustable parameters of serial port. *Shows NMEA messages for debug. *zoom out to 2x, 4x, 8x. *Gamma correction of the images. ==User guide== What is needed: *GBA console. *GBA flash cartridge. *Any GPS sensor/receiver with NMEA 0183 output (serial (RS232) at 1200, 4800, 9600, 38400, 57600 or 115200 bps). Note: *There are many different sensors available, from inexpensive stamp size modules with the price less than $40, GPSR/sensor from Garmin or Magellan and others. Almost all sensors/receivers have NMEA output, but some of them operate only at 4800 bps, this baud rate is currently unsupported. This limitation is due to limitations of GBA UART mode. *All tests are done with Magellan Meridian GPS. ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbahomebrews/gbagps3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbahomebrews/gbagps4.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/gbahomebrews/gbagps5.png ==Changelog== '''2005/04/04''' *Based on your comments new features are implemented in v.2: a) speed b) heading c) auto saving the settings and the last position on the map. *New menu items are added to the GBA program. *New default settings are added to the ROM maker program to turn on and off the heading marker and to select units for the speed (MPH, Km/H). *Screens (GPS fix - (GPS fix+speed) - (speed only) - nothing) are switchable in turn with the "R" button. *Auto saving works with flash card with the RAM. *If no RAM exists or the RAM is not as expected, the map will be loaded with the default settings (not tested, I do not have flash card without RAM). When signal disapears 0 satelites are shown (bug of previous version). I still keep the old version in case ver. 2 has bugs. '''2005/03/29''' * Pat Crowe have connected Trimble LassenSQ module to GBA . Please see Appendix C for details. '''2005/03/18''' *Several bugs were fixed in GBA GPS ROM maker. '''2005/03/14''' * Tested with Garmin Etrex. Works fine. '''2005/02/24''' *I attached GPS sensor from the Microsoft Street and Trips 2005 bundle (see Appendix B for details). It has slightly different NMEA output format, I did support of NMEA more flexible, now my program reads both Meridian GPS and Microsoft GPS fine. *Minor bugs fixed in GBA GPS ROM maker. '''2005/02/17''' * 1200 and 4800 baud rates are added. *Algorithm of movement is improved (more smooth scrolling). *Menu "settings" is added to GBA maker program to change default settings. ==External links== * Author's website - [https://web.archive.org/web/20080213020413/http://www.msh-tools.com/GBA/gbagps.html http://www.msh-tools.com/GBA/gbagps.html] (archived)
