Also, it seems that the Qt version of Mapbox GL native is fairly new and has seen significant updates and fixes in new versions, so there's a significant benefit in having a separate package for this as getting it via a Qt LTS release means quite a long delay. Do you have a list of the Mapbox GL version you package vs. in Qt 5.9 and 5.12? > Finally, regarding online/offline maps and EU network charges.

And still my custom solution is not even close to the quality of Mapbox's maps, in part due to my lack of design skills, in part due the low detail level of tiles from OpenMapTiles.com. It would be best to have some kind of a platform solution as Mapbox's maps are unreasonably expensive for a hobby project once past the free plan. It's likely worth asking if Mapbox would be interested in some kind of a deal, getting some exposure and testing for their Qt version. -- Osmo Salomaa <otsal...@iki.fi> _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list To unsubscribe, please send a mail to devel-unsubscr...@lists.sailfishos.org
