Hi Guys,
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.
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. :)
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
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). :)
A while ago i started with bulding my own
<https://github.com/unsanded/harbour-mapp> 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.
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).

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