Hi Joeles,

The tiled layer does much of the work for you in terms of scrolling and scaling.

I have an example on my blog;

that does something like what you want (I expect based on the description).

Good luck!

Hi,

I am trying to develop a "map viewer".
Later i'd like to port it to the iPh***, but since we don't talk about the iPh*** in here,
i'll just start with a basic osx app ;-)


My final goal is to develop a feature equivalent application to the iPh*** (google) Maps app,
but instead it will use the free and open source maps provided by the http://www.openstreetmap.org project.


(of course it will be free and i'll provide the community with the source).

currently i am able to show a specific map part for example like:
http://tile.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/export?bbox=11.56832,48.13196,11.5827,48.14255&scale=6800&format=png

but i am a bit stuck with the scrolling and zooming thing.
now if my user scrolls (taps) or zooms, howto dynamically reload map parts in a iPh*** like fashion?



any pointer or anyone interested in the project and willing to join forces is greatly appreciated :-)



best,

--Joeles

P.S.:
just in case you wonder, why to use openstreetmap instead of google:
its opensource - you may do whatever you want with the map data without getting sued by google or their map provider.
openstreetmap is wikipedia for maps - in some areas (where all those geeks with the gps equipped bicycles are around) openstreetmap
map data is MUCH more accurate than google maps.. evenfootpaths, bicycle paths... and so on


P.P.S.:
yes, i'll integrate coreloc*****, but we don't talk about coreloc****

P.P.P.S.:
if apple wouldn't provide such a nice toolchain and sometimes even nice products, currently i'd be really frustrated enough
with all this iphone sim-locking, opensource counterproductive appstore concept, nda shizzle marketing tactics, ..... to move one to another platform.
