@Guyou: Replied via email

@Taiebot: No, I still work on Conduit occasionally. It kind of does everything I need it to do now, and no one else seems to want to work on it.

Do you know viking ( http://viking.sf.net/ )?

I have in mind to replace our home-made drawing feature by an external project.
Is osm-gps-map configurable enought to provide our own:
- caching system
- downloading system
- multiple layers

Furthermore, is it possible to have user’s interactions? For example, a user clicking on a waypoint displayed on the map?

There is some binding for PyGTK+ on Python? It would be awesome!

@someone: IMHO
* Doesnt use clutter, just cairo and Gtk for drawing
* Simpler API
* Users tell me that it runs very efficiently and responsively on Maemo
* Other functional differences

thanks for your work
note that phraymd (a photo manager for GNOME that i really like) makes use of it too

@Hugo: Yeah, they did have such a scheme, but it seemed to be targeted at Maemo proper developers. I am one step removed, I just happen to develop a widget that people seem to enjoy using on Maemo.

On the other hand, if someone reading this can get me a n900 that would certainly help!
