[OSM-dev] OSM in a C apps

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

I've done the same thing with an amateur radio APRS client that uses 
OpenStreetMap.org maps.  I learned about the tile names at the following 
URL and did the code to download the appropriate PNG tiles at the 
selected zoom level and stitched them together for display.  Slick as pie!
