TMapViewer
« on: April 03, 2011, 06:57:18 pm »
I'm glad to announce a new component written for Lazarus. TMapViewer is a simple component that supports the most popular maps using native graphic control.

Features:
* support Google Maps (Normal, Satellite, Hybrid, Physical, Physical hybrid)
* support OpenStreet based maps (OpenStreetMap Mapnik, OpenStreetMap Osmrenderer, OpenCycleMap)
* support Virtual Earth maps (Normal, Aerial, Road, Hybrid)
* support Yahoo maps (Normal, Satellite, Hybrid)
* lots of debug information
* pluggable download engine (synapse, native win32)
* disk caching

Thanks.

I finally compiled demo project. (on 64-bit Linux + Qt)

I was not able compile synapse as package so i only used its units.

I had to add line
Code: [Select]
{$mode objfpc}{$H+}to kcMapViewer.pas otherwise it told me:
 Error: Identifier not found "class"

Demo works fine.

Edit: I have slow internet connection. Seems this requires faster internet.

It works well!
The demo is very easy to port to other platforms (Linux, Mac): just change Windows unit to LCLIntf.

It is not a very big program yet works rather well. I guess you have plans to develop it further. Will it be open source?
The scrolling could be made much smoother by caching data and using threads.

Mostly Lazarus trunk and FPC 3.2 on Manjaro Linux 64-bit.

Looks very promising. Now it may be possible to write geolocalisation apps in Lazarus.  :D
Windows - Lazarus 2.1/FPC 3.2 (built using fpcupdeluxe),
Linux Mint - Lazarus 2.1/FPC 3.2 (built using fpcupdeluxe)

Thanks for testing, project will be open source (LGPL).

on my roadmap there is:
* POI
* more events OnPaint, BeforeDownload, AfterDownload
* speedup (multithread based downloading)
* more maps (virtual earth, yahoo)

I like it.

I really liked it. I will play with it a bit more and write some demo and place it on my blog :)

Would you be willing to add this to Lazarus-CCR or a more formal repository ?

Very nice component, congratulation!
But I try it at work and need to set a proxy to get out to google.
So I add this code instead of using HttpGetBinary:
Code: [Select]
{$IFDEF USE_SYNAPSE}
procedure DownloadFile(const Url: string; str: TStream);
var
  HTTP: THTTPSend;
begin
  HTTP := THTTPSend.Create;
  try
    HTTP.ProxyHost:='127.0.0.1';
    HTTP.ProxyPort:='8080';
    HTTP.ProxyUser:='user';
    HTTP.ProxyPass:='password';
    if HTTP.HTTPMethod('GET', URL) then
    begin
      str.Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
      str.CopyFrom(HTTP.Document, 0);
    end;
  finally
    HTTP.Free;
  end;
end;
{$ELSE}           

It may be nice to add properties to the component to set the proxy.

I found solution for this. Please wait for next version.

I have no access and I don't know how.

What Lazarus level did you develop this with?

I tried installing it under 09.30 (I just installed that one a week ago) and I can't install mapviewer as it apparently requires fcl >= 1.0.1  and I have 1.0.

That's pretty close though ..... Could I sneakily change the .lpk file to set the dependency to 1.0?  Or will that fail big time?

1.0/2.6.0  XP SP3 & OS X 10.6.8
