Hello,

I am not an openstreetmap user, consequently I do not know a lot about it.

I am written a C application and I wish to integrate a map. My application
is free (license LGPL), consequently I plan to use a free map and
openstreetmap is the perfect choice for this. I am a developer in the
project Enlightenment (windows manager + set of libraries + application) and
I want to write a gui widget for the project and my application.

Today, what is the best way to display OSM in a C application ? I saw
Mapnick, I need to look deeper in this way but boost is required and I
preferred to avoid big dependencies.

What type of data should I use, download a jpeg/png directly ? or the data
and create the map (this is what Mapnick does if I understand well) ?

Regards.
