    Hi,

    i tryied the "mapviewer" example and want to use another open source map instead of the "osm" one.
    There are only three available Map plugin OpenSource, Mapbox, HERE.
    But i want to use this open source map http://openseamap.org
    How can i do my own plug in?
    Is there a way to do it?

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Sure you can, take a look at the qtlocation sources, you'll find there osm plugins as well as the others. You can take inspiration from them.

          Hi,

          thanks for replay.
          I added the osm.mapping.host parameter on the "mapviewer" example with the open sea map:
          parameters.insert("osm.mapping.host", "http://tiles.openseamap.org/seamark/");

          But still i dont see the map.
          In the example i go to "MapType" and select "custom URL Map".

          Any idea?

              @vladstelmahovsky I copied the libqtgeoservices_googlemaps.so into plugins/geoservices among others (osm, mapbox, here). Then I run the sample app MapViewer. MapViewer see the plugin, but it come back say "Set googlemaps.map.apikey with google maps application key, supporting static maps."
              Where do I set this apikey?
              How do I obtain the key? Does Google issue it?

              Thanks

                  @vladstelmahovsky Your plugin works really cool though. I probably will look into source code and make my own to load map locally from file or database

                    @TonyN actually, QtLocation itself handles caching of the data and you can provide your own cache mechanisms, afaik

                          @michaelL you have to build and install the plugin yourself.

                            @SGaist so i build it and install it insite mingw32:

                            qmake googlemaps.pro
                            mingw32-make
                            mingw32-make install

                            And when i ran the example the plugin was there but the map didnt came up and gave me this erro message:
                            QGeoTileRequestManager: Failed to fetch tile (543,298,10) 5 times, giving up. Last error message was: 'Set googlemaps.maps.apikey with google maps application key, supporting static maps'

                            Any idea?

                                    Plugin {
                                    id: gmapsPlugin

                                      @vladstelmahovsky On the mapviewer example i tryied on the QML File:

                                      Plugin{
                                      id: myPlugin
                                      name: "googlemaps"
                                      PluginParameter { name: "googlemaps.maps.apikey "; value: "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=.............; }
                                      }

                                      Where "......" my googlemap key is.

                                      But it didnt worked.
