Hi Everyone,
I am pleased to announce version 1.2.0 of osm-gps-map, a library
for displaying raster map data from a variety of different sources.
Documentation:
* http://nzjrs.github.com/osm-gps-map/docs/reference/html/index.html
What is New

API for displaying tracks and points from GPS co-ordinates.
It Currently supports a number of different mapping sources;
* openstreetmap (default)

specific area of the map to be cached ahead of time

add arbitary pixmaps at those points

showing the history past added points)

* Adjustable Zoom
* Includes comprehensive examples (C, Python, JavaScript)
* Simple, flat API

on top of the map
