Possibly a stupid question, but....

    I read somewhere recently that GPS is going to be introduced on a firmware release for the PSP.

    Am I right in saying that connecting a USB GPS receiver, and downloading the software to my memory stick will give me an in-car GPS solution?

    If this is the case, does anyone know if you can get an in-car charger for the PSP?

    Cheers.

    Yeah, though it'll be UMD instead of mem stick.

    Haven't seen an in-car charger yet though...

    I don't think it's confirmed whether the PSP will support an off-the-shelf USB GPS receiver or not. Going by their track-record with regards to EyeToy etc, you may have to buy a PSP-branded receiver.

    Oki doki,

    So the point here is that I do not run out and buy an in car gps system, as I would be bringing my PSP with me anyway....

    Cool.

    So,
    Anyone got any ideas of when we can expect this?
    Also, anyone know what maps they'll use?
