If you thought Royale was done with PSP Maps, then you are very, very wrong. He put out a new release that features a couple of changes, mostly options in the experimental department. PSP Maps is essentially a ’port’ of Google and (recently) Yahoo Maps and Virtual Earth on the PSP, which typically requires a wifi connection to be able to view the maps (although it has since allowed you to view them offline once downloaded to your cache).

This new version introduces experimental and basic KML support; this allows for additional display information on maps, such as: directions, points of interest, custom markers, and more. Here is the KML support:

KML support:

• Create a kml/ directory in your PSP-Maps folder.
• Copy the .kml files in this directory.
• Currently, it only supports “Points” and “Lines”.
• If you create an .png image with the same name as your KML file, it will be used to replace the default marker.
• You can easily create directions with this link (replace the towns in the URL): http://maps.google.com/maps?output=kml&
