============
osm-gps-map is a Gtk+ widget (and Python bindings) that when given GPS
co-ordinates, draws a GPS track, and points of interest on a moving
map display. It Currently supports a number of different mapping
sources;
* openstreetmap (default)

* satellite maps from a number of proprietary providers
It also has the following features;
* Intelligent caching of maps, including the ability to request a
specific area of the map to be cached ahead of time
* Recording of points of interest on the map (and the ability to add
arbitary pixmaps at those points
* Automatically draws a GPS track (a line showing the history of
past added points)
* Automatic centering on new GPS points
* Support for multiple other tracks of co-ordinate points
* Adjustable Zoom
* Includes comprehensive examples (C and Python)
* Simple, flat API
