Both distributions are free and there are plenty of instructions & tutorials on how to set them up. MSN Maps/ Virtual Earth seem to have a better than Google coverage of some areas, for example: Eastern Europe. Here is a screenshot of a map for Riga, Latvia, which, according to Google just does not exist :-) : Go to http://local.live.com to check the coverage for your area.. Once you find your map, you can get the GPS coordinates this way: 1) Center your map on the location you want. 2) Click on "Share" tab and select "View Permalink" 3) You'll get something like: _http://local.live.com/default.aspx?v=2&cp=56.945724~24.145804&style=r&lvl=15&scene=1935198&rtp=null~null - The highlighted number are the coordinates that you'll need for the getVEmap.sh script Here is the same area mapped my Google and MSN: Source: DCEmu --- Author, Hacking the PSP www.hackingpsp.com    Report
