Hello Ahasan and Russel, Both of you recommended that I speak with the folks at OpenMapKit and it just happens that Nicholas was the very first person to reply :) We are going to have a short chat and hopefully there are ways that we can collaborate together (I can think of quite a few!).
Since I've had a few similar questions off list, let me answer them here in one thread: In looking through the Android app, I am seeing a map with an interesting > spherical projection with a PNG base map. The raster based tiles are rendered using Mapserver out of OSM data in 4326. Here is some code that shows the raster image data of those tiles: http://plnkr.co/edit/xwE2DbsdRPx48Y3QK4Bw?p=preview I styled them myself based on some mapserver samples :) What map rendering library are you using? I haven’t seen this before. > Looking at your iOS app, the UI is very similar, and so is the underlying > map renderer. Esri? That is the AmigoCloud renderer. It does vectors and rasters and is fully GPU accelerated OpenGL Are these all features you included in your mail support offline ? Yes, all these features are supported while offline. Have you tested this app for doing any mapping ? Yes! We have State Agencies, private environmental consulting firms and transportation authorities using this every day. Thank you all and I hope some of this work will help HOT in the near future. - Ragi On Sun, Aug 2, 2015 at 7:46 AM, Ahasanul Hoque <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear Ragi, > I just saw the list of feature included in your app, It gonna be a great > app. We have used ODK before and recently OpenMapKit developed by American > Red Cross which are also good offline data collection app. > https://github.com/AmericanRedCross/OpenMapKit .
