Re: Attn map application developers: common cache for maps
Hi, Alberto: Have you ever considered using two types of caches? Memory cache(maybe shared memory) and persistent cache(sqlite?). Best regards, Asongala Hi all, I'd like to propose a standard location to store cached map tiles (from openstreetmaps, google, or whichever), so to avoid re-downloading the same tiles when a user is using several applications which store their data in different directories. I'm working on maemo-mapper at the moment, and I know there are other applications (eCoach for instance) that are using map data. We could save user's bandwidth, time and flash space if we put the map tiles in the same place. I would suggest using ~/MyDocs/.maps/provider/type/zoom/tile x/tile y.png Where provider can be google.com, openstreetmap.org or others, and type is street, satellite, hybrid, etc. Does anyone have a better proposal? Any map application developers here, interested in sharing maps with maemo-mapper?

Re: Attn map application developers: common cache for maps
Hi, you want to store hundreds of megabytes of map data in ram ... cool ... And what's the advantage of a database if you want to store files?
