[OpenMap Users] Map format

I

you may want to have a look at gpsylon
(http://gpsmap.sourceforge.net), a project that uses maps from the
internet and displays them in an openmap layer. I also wrote an
openmap-projection that works quite well (not perfect!) with these
maps.

If you have further questions, please ask per email, here or in the
forum for the sourceforge project.

kind regards,
Christof
