New GPS-compatible software: MAPLUS Guidemap

NEW GPS-compatible title: MAPLUS Guidemap - Image 1Pardon us if our count isn’t accurate but if we’re not mistaken, the total number of PlayStation Portable (PSP) titles that are compatible with the handheld’s GPS accessory is currently at six. They are Minna No Golf Jo, Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, MAPLUS Portable Navi, Minna no Chizu, Minna no Chizu 2, and Homestar Portable.

In case you haven’t noticed yet, we can’t keep track of these video games because they were only released in Japan. We wonder what’s up with that move from Sony but that discussion is reserved for another day. We brought up the topic because another one software has just been added to the list: MAPLUS Guidemap.

While that is still a tentative title, it is clear that MAPLUS Guidemap is a GPS-navigation compatible software. From what we’ve understood from MAPLUS’ official Japanese site, this will include pedestrian navigation features, location information in the form of a guidebook, and downloadable map updates.

Speaking of which, we have a strong reason to believe that this software is of top-notch quality as its maps have been provided by Japan’s leading map software provider Alps. MAPLUS Guidemap is being developed by Edia Co. Ltd. and will be available in Japan this summer.
