Yes, and I found the code rather simple (maybe it has less functionality).

Sure. So far the only APIs required from the widget is a 
SetCenter(latitude, longitude) method. :-)
In the future I'm going to use also a method to convert from pixel 
coordinates to geographic coordinates. Not much more than that, so I 
guess any map widget should be usable there.

In which branch is this code?

At the moment I'm mostly interested in getting the geographic search 
functionality available, so the map widget choice is not my main 
concern; for practical reasons I'll continue developing with OsmGpsMap, 
but I'll keep in mind that this dependency might change.

Ciao,
