Hi, with the switch to qt i think there's a need for a qt map widget. I really see a need for a unified widget to be used by all applications. The current situation with multiple different map widgets on maemo5 shows what imho should be prevented:
- They store cached tiles at different locations wasting bandwidth as well as device flash space - No central point for map maintenance (e.g. cleaning the map cache or downloading entire areas into the cache for offline usage) - No easy and central way to add new map sources - The overall look and feel is different although they intend to provide similar function - Some widgets work behind network proxies, some don't - None of these widgets is really developer friendly Sampo Savola, the author of ecoach suggested to think about a qt map widget. I am also interested in this as i am the author of osm2go, maep and gpxview. Who else would like to contribute to this? I'd like to make sure that such a widget satisfies most developers need to be able to address above issues with one single qt map widget. A start may be this widget: http://medieninf.de/qmapcontrol/ Till
