QMapControl

QMapControl is a Qt(opia) widget which enables your (mobile) applications to use mapping data. Simply add the widget to your application, have a look at the API and start developing a fancy geospatial (mobile) application.

With QMapControl you can use different map providers, like OpenStreetMap, several WMS-Server or Google maps. Then you can modify the view of your QMapControl, writing a location based application when having a GPS receiver or just browse the maps. It is possible to have more than one layers, so you can mix maps from different servers. To enrich the maps you can draw your own object to coordinates.

Feature list:

* Compatible with multiple map providers (Tile server and WMS server)
* Draw custom objects into maps (lines, points, images, even other Qt widgets!)
* Objects can be added to any coordinate
* Control elements can be added to QMapControl´s layout
* Added objects emit signals on clicks
* The map navigation is customizable (using styles and/or keys)
* GPS parser included for reading gllin output
* Tested on the FIC Neo1973 (and Linux/Windows)
* Map tiles can be stored persistently

What´s next?

* Rotating maps
* Routing: A webservice (not a target of this project) could provide geometric information, which could be painted as a LineString in maps
