DSGIS (DS Geographical Information System) is a project making GPS function
available on DS console. Now, all of the team members are making their
best to accomplish most of the functions which have existed in the
traditional GPS equipments.
For the moment, we entitle Ranger as the code name of the first
development project.
So far, numbers of flashcards have been proven to be available when they
are working together with Ranger, such as AK2(whith out FAT) EZ5 M3DSR
M3SD(with out Real GPS) R4 SCDS. And, there are much more proof-tests on
the way now.

July 27 2008 DSGIS Project Videos
Recently, our team are focusing on the improvement on DSGIS Project, and
we've decided to name the Hardware as “Ranger”, and to name the Software
as “Caelitis”.
Moreover, after working out the first version of DSGIS Project Sample,
we’ve received a lot of emails and concerns from different friends all
over the world. In order to help you better understand how
“Ranger”&”Caelitis” work, we made some videos about our project,
assisting by exvee and sirdonker.
There are 5 videos in total, which can help you to know more details
about both “Ranger” and “caelitis”.
Here is one of them. If you want to see other videos, please log in our
forum. All the four videos is available here(Forum-->Hardwares).
You can choose to download it or watch it online.

15 2008 Fisrt Completed GPS PCB of Ranger Project
Good news, the M3 team contacts us and promise to help us in hardware
development. As a result, our Ranger's hardware will finish in July. What
is more, the new hardware still support other's FlashCart, for M3DS real
users there're more extra functions!
For this new software, we renamed Ranger(0.6 with PAlib) to Caelitis(0.1
without PAlib), and we are working on Ranger's update and Caelitis' at
the same time. In feature, Ranger's source code will completely for free.
Caelitis(0.1) Features:
DGPS
Automatic Routing
BMP GIF PNG JPEG map
GPSFS (MapThis for PSP) map/zoom
GBS(Media Player 1) voice notification
Softreset (M3DSR only)
Asia language support GBK/Big5/Shift-Jis
GBK PinYin input
Custom Skin
and more...
We have make most of GPSFS fomat maps, which work in "MapThis"
on PSP, compatible with our application. That is to say, there is no need
for us to worry about maps.
Besides, the application now runs on a much more stable and quick state
after rewriting some codes. Due to some inspiration from Moonshell, we
are trying some new ideas. For example, Multi-windows system which makes
the application really cool, plug-ins skins and transparent windows.
"Back to Menu" Function is another update. By using it, you can
easily back to menu and run any other application without turn off the DS
Lite.
At last, our coders are also working on the corresponding input methods
for Asian users.
