I just put "Maep" in maemo-extras which is a fast and easy to use map widget 
which can
be integrated into any gtk or hildon application. The maep program itself is a 
very
simple example and just displays the map and interfaces it to the GPS. Two
of my other projects (gpxview and osm2go) use this very same map. 

Maep runs on OS2008 to Maemo5 and also on plain gtk (which is what i most
of the time use for development).

  Till

Thanks for all the help.  I am trying maemo-mapper now and I am also looking
at various QtWebKit examples that use google maps.

Thanks,

Hi,
qt-apps.org contains some free Qt Map widgets...
Take a look also at trolltech labs [1].

Re: Developing Map-based apps for N900

[Jose Manrique Lopez de la Fuente]

Perhaps a QtWebKit widget + different map sources could be a good
solution.. I don't know if that is similar to how already N900 Maps
app work

I'm not from Nokia, though I would like to know if the mapping situation
will improve "out of the box". 

With that said, Maemo-mapper is now available for the N900 as is Emerillon
in Extras-devel (uses liblocation but needs its menus hildonising still).
Emerillon is plugin based so that might give you another useful option.

Cheers,


Simon

Developing Map-based apps for N900

[Paul Drummond]

If I want to develop an app that integrates with a map plugin, then
obviously I want to use Ovi maps but the Ovi Maps SDK doesn't support Maemo
and as far as I know the Ovi Maps app for Maemo can't be used as a plugin.

There must be work going on behind the scenes to resolve this situation - in
the mean time I would be greatly appreciated if someone from Nokia could
provide some direction so developer like myself avoid wasting time on
solutions that might be dead-ends when the real solution is eventually
announced.

The way I see it there are several potential solutions:

1) I could write a Qt App that embeds Ovi Maps into a QtWebKit widget.  I
don't think this is currently possible due to it's lack of support for
Maemo/Linux but I will do some prototyping here any way and see how far I
get.

2) Write a Qt app that embeds Google Maps into a QtWebKit widget.

3) Wait for a dedicated Ovi Maps plugin for Maemo to be developed.  Will
there ever be such a plugin?

Can someone from Nokia comment on this please?

Thank you,
Paul Drummond
