If you have some existing mechanism for rendering the maps, and it is happy to draw to a window that it is passed, then it is fairly trivial to derive your own class from a fltk window then pass a handle to that onto the render app and have it draw into your window. I've used this approach to show video in a fltk window, where the video tool was outputting via DirectDraw; we just passed the fltk window handle into the DirectDraw context and "as if by magic" the picture appears... something similar might work. Or, if you can find a map tool that output via GL, then that would be pretty easy to build into a fltk app too, I should think (that's what we did, though the code is not available...)
