Get a map of Paris on your DS with Metro-Paris v1.0

Viva la Francais!


For anyone who wants to backpack through Paris, or who actually lives there right now, it would be a great time to bring your DS along. An enterprising new programmer by the name of Christophe Andreani has created a working map of Paris, France for your Nintendo handheld. Better yet, it even works with the stylus.

His work, Metro-Paris v1.0, is simply what it is. It's a map that's been scrunched down and placed into the DS, and also has functions for zooming in and scrolling the map. His directions are as follow:

"You can zoom (up to three zoom levels) and scroll the map.
Zoom: L/R, Up/Down keys or click on screen top/bottom (between icons).
Scroll: X, Y, A and B keys or stylus."

He calls it a simple application, but sometimes, simple applications like these can also be very useful when the need arises. Viva le Francais, and long live Christophe! If you'd like to comment on his work or offer some suggestions, you can also find his email on his website. Heck, maybe you can ask him to set up maps for other cities too. Just ask nicely, okay?

I just tried it on DualiS emulator and really likes the simplicity, but wouldn't it be great if you could get every map you ever wanted in a gif, png or pdf format and add to the program..? I've e-mailed Christophe about it and asking about open source etc so in the meantime I'll be reding up on coding homebrew for the DS :) It's these kind of small, practical apps I like the most. DSO never worked for me (no sync, pen, paper and Filofax works better for most times)

I was thinking it would be a great place to store maps, once we figure out how to pull off what he's doing. It'd be like low-tech GPS or something.

At the very least, if we could get detailed maps of video game cities, we could use the DS to reference them while playing. :)
