Desktop map app with Qt/c++ and openseemap


I have to write a desktop map application using c++ and openseamap. Right now I am looking for a GUI library for this. I thought I could use qt5 for this, but I can't be sure before the start I must make sure that ı can use qt and openseamap together. Can ıt be possible if not is there any succession for GUI library for use with openseamap


Solution

  • The openseamap just provides map files which are in a format called "MBTiles" which is actually just a SQLite database. There is no problem to use Qt for the GUI and to let such Qt application access a SQLite database. There is also SQLite support for Qt, for instance look here.

    There is also Qt support for OpenStreetMap which is where OpenSeaMap bases on.
