<div>Hi Guys,<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>I definitely agree that there should be an easy way to
add a map in any application. This would make things so
much more efficient. I believe there were some mails
earlier in this group about storing all the cached tiles
in the same place, so apps can share them.<br>

Yeah, I made the "Well known map data path" proposal a while ago but
unfortunately there were not many reactions or feedback since then.
But everybody is of course welcome to use or extend the
specification. :)<br>
<br>
Also on a related note - I have been recently working on a rewrite
of modRanas tile storage code to make it much more flexible &
robust. The result should be that in the future modRana should be
able to look for tiles<br>
at multiple places simultaneously - for example in its own tile
storage location, in a well known/shared tile storage location or
even possibly in the tile storage locations of other apps (if
compatible). :)<br>

A while ago i started with bulding <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://github.com/unsanded/harbour-mapp">my own</a>
slippy-map application to do just this. It uses Qt scene
graph, so it should be really quick and efficient. It is not
finished yet (rotating and zooming are hard to combine), but
it might be interesting nontheless.<br>

Any idea if you can make some use of the mapbox-gl-native vector map
renderer[2) ? Maybe as a special tile provider ? The output looks
marvelous and it's also C++ and they even have some initial Qt 5
support[3] (QWidget only at the moment though).<br>

I'm using Pinchmap from Foursail, it's a qml/javascript
implementation of a<br>
slippery map, and works great, at least for my use ;)<br>
