I made a new April resolution to start blogging reguarly again. The first step of that long journey begins now.
OpenStreetMap GPS Mapping Widget - 0.3
I just released v0.3 of osm-gps-map, the easy to use Gtk+ mapping widget. Highlights for this release include;
- A new major contributor, Alberto Mardegan, who worked on many of the new features of this release. Thanks a lot Alberto!
- Draw map tracks with Cairo by default.
- Interpolate between zoom levels while waiting for a tile to download.
- Stop using GET_PRIVATE, and cache priv* for performance.
- Keep an extra border of images offscreen for smoother scrolling at the edges of the map.
- Keep the last N tiles in memory to improve render performance (previously they were loaded from disk)
- Add some new api; osm_gps_set_center, osm_gps_map_scroll.
Conduit Hacking
Hacking on Conduit continues, with much happyness for two reasons;
- GNOME has moved to git! Wahoo! I owe the sysadmin team many beers, except for Jc2k who I know could not handle them anyway.
- Conduit got a SOC project, congratulations Alexandre!
- Work is ongoing to merge in the new configuration and settings serialization code.
- More on this later, I promise…
What would be interesting is a comparison with libchamplain. On features but also on goals. It looks like both projects share the same goal. And it would be cool to see Cairo tracks in libchamplain

Cool. Can we supply suggestions for May’s resolution?
If so, mine is: attend TVIC again and head over to the Christchurch Creative Space sessions: http://chchspace.nztech.org/

Hi John,
I’d like to use your widget to enable tagging photos with GPS coordinates in this: http://launchpad.net/phraymd
Do you have a minimal python sample I could check out? (I couldn’t find one in the source but may have missed it…)
cheers

Hi Damien,
I’ve written a simple python app that does geotagging using this widget:
