Google Map on pys60 | Thread profile

This is a really good idea! And really shows you just how easy it is to make a powerful application in Python, but I think the lack of interest may come from the fact that Google have already made a mobile version of Google Maps, both in Java and in Symbian C++ (I assume it's C++ anyway). I've been using it for a while and it works quite nicely! http://www.google.com/gmm/index.html

One problem with the code for s60_gmap version 0.4 is that all tiles are loaded into a memory cache. This speeds up drawing the tiles, but eventually all memory on the phone gets used up. (I have a Nokia 6600 with only 8MB memory). Here's a code snippet which overcomes this, but its not designed to work with satellite tiles, or to download the map from the internet. It'll take a bit of fiddling to put it into the s60_gmap script, but...

I'd like to extend this script to add it to my program for remote GPS tracking, but I needa bit of help: how could I implement latitude and longitude handling? Supposing I have a single tile for which I know lat/lon of upper-left/bottom-right corners, and supposing I know the lat/lon of the center of the screen, which tile should I select? Let's suppose a tile is named LAT1_LON1__LAT2_LON2.jpg, where "1" and...
