It would be cool to have a layer rendered from this as an option, someday.

Hello!
I'm still looking for people interested in helping me with further
development libosmscout (http://libosmscout.sf.net). The library
steadily improves, but more people could simply get more work done
faster ;-)
libosmscout is a C++ library, that implements offline map drawing and
routing based on OSM data. It does this by import an existing *.osm file
and generating a binary, plattform independent file based database and
offering an high level API on top of this database.
The main target group of the library are people that are interested in
developing applications based on OSM and that do not want to directly
access available data using existing online APIs. Such applications of
course also include offline navigation software but of course other,
more specialized applications are possible.
Recent discussions with interested people however have shown that
libosmscout has a much broader target group. Since the library consists
of separate components for import, dataaccess, routing and map drawing,
other usage senarios are also possible and I'm also looking for people
that want to improve libosmscout in that direction:
* Generating stylable (paper) maps
* Using it as a small desktop local caching tile server with very light
infrastructure requirements.
* Using it to tests and compare different routing alogrithm (that can
share pre- and postprocessing and thus safe the developer the hassle to
fiddle around with *.osm file format and generating a good textual
routing description).
* Use the internal data structures and map drawing for online-data API
based map drawing
* Statistical analysis and data test suite
libosmscout currently depends on libxml and libcairo (, but even that
could be abstracted ;-)) and thus should work on various platforms.
If you are interested take a look at libosmscout.sf.net for further
details (and a video) or simply contact me.
