Hi!
The OpenStreetMap support in Roassal works pretty well… The easiest way to
start is probably take the latest version of Moose. Open the example browser
and look for OpenStreetMap Integration.
Thierry, although pretty cool, I have the impression the integration could be
better. Here is a wish list:
- Tile caching
- Predictive zoom level. E.g., If I click twice on the zoomin button,
it is likely that I will click a third time. So preloading the needed tile
would be good
Again Thierry and Onil, thanks for this working piece of work. This is
fantastic!
Cheers,
Alexandre
