MS PocketStreets 2002 Pushpin (psp)

This format can...

• read and write waypoints

Microsoft's PocketStreets 2002 Pushpin (.PSP) format is not yet completely documented. The .PSP module

does not work with MS Streets & Trips 2002 .EST files To create .PSP files from Streets & Trips 2002,

you will need to have PocketStreets support installed.

Please note that MS Streets & Trips only exports .PSP files. It does not import them. MS Streets & Trips

2002 only imports CSV files. To use .PSP files, simply copy them over to the same folder on the mobile

device as the map (.MPS), and open PocketStreets. It should also be noted that in the case a pushpin is

outside of the exported map area, the pin will be "grayed-out" and unused in PocketStreets. This is a good

thing as it allows us to create one big .PSP file that covers multiple .MPS files. Unfortunately, you need

one .PSP file for every .MPS file.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why should I use GPSBabel/psp to make pushpins when Streets & Trips (S&T) already does that

for me?

GPSBabel/psp has the advantage of being able to create pushpins without creating the associated map

file and the need to "import" the waypoint data into S&T. Through a series of scripts, you can create

a dozen or so PSP files in a few seconds as opposed to a few weeks using the S&T interface. The

maps are not going to change between sessions, only the pins will. Why waste all that time creating

maps when all you really want are updated pins? As an aside, GPSBabel/psp creates points with the

proper coordinates where S&T does not in some areas of the U.S. (Nashville, TN for instance).

2. I keep getting a blank (32 byte) PSP file.

There are either no points to write, or you have botched the command line for GPSBabel. GPSBabel

is sensitive to UPPER and lower case on the command line. A simple command line to create PSP

files looks like this:

gpsbabel -i geo -f geocaching.loc -o psp -F NewOrleans.psp

Note the use of "-f" for INPUT files and "-F" for OUTPUT files.

3. I've created a PSP file, now what do I do with it?

To use pushpins in Pocketstreets, you need to have both a map and a pushpin file. These two files

must exist in the same folder and have exactly the same base name as the map. For example, the

pins that correspond to the map "NewOrleans.mps" should be named "NewOrleans.psp".

4. I don't have a map. What do I do now?
