    Minna No Chizu, or 'Everyone’s Map,' was released today, providing PSP owners a comprehensive map of Japan (including Okinawa). Though the software currently lacks GPS support, Zenrin compiled the maps — the same company that provides data for Japan's Google Maps. Priced at 3,990 yen (roughly $34), Minna No Chizu is affordable, while providing a respectable level of scalable detail, at least for major metropolitan areas.Japan Chronicles found the controls user-friendly, despite a tedious address location system. The software supports bookmarking and purchasable upgrades, which will add points of interest to the maps. Thankfully, Mickey D's made the initial cut.
