these days i surveyed some maps solution (google maps, decarta, osm, and so on). so i defined some categories.
- map - position - route - address - poi i tried to mapping this categories to emap_xxx APIs. the result is: - emap_source_xxx (osm, module) - emap_position_xxx (default solution is gpsd) - emap_route_xxx - emap_name_xxx (geocode / reverse geocode) - emap_poi_xxx - emap_track_xxx (gpx, kml, etc) - emap_utils_xxx (coordination) . source is map source provider. . position is just current my poistion. . the point of route is ... future or past. IMO route is future. so it can be used by turn-by-trurn navigation to go somewhere. and track is just logging of past. i think that gpx is just one of tracking. as basic concept, route information can be acquired by service, not local data. we can extend route for shortest path using local backing store, but it's just option. yes..yes.. it'll be very good feature that uses local map and route data, but we should overcome so many license issues. so my suggestion about route is : 1. let's define typical and reasonable api categories 2. and extend features... . name is gecode or reverse geocode. . track is logging. . util is coordination and some utilities... that's all. indeed all are my private thoughts. *watchwolf~ you are founder of elm_map. so i entirely respect your opinion.* pls consider my opinion and let's discuss for better map manager.
