Description

The ChamplainView is a ClutterActor to display maps. It supports two modes of scrolling:

  • Push: the normal behavior where the maps doesn't move after the user stopped scrolling;

  • Kinetic: the iPhone-like behavior where the maps decelerate after the user stopped scrolling.

You can use the same ChamplainView to display many types of maps. In Champlain they are called map sources. You can change the map-source property at anytime to replace the current displayed map.

The maps are downloaded from Internet from open maps sources (like OpenStreetMap). Maps are divided in tiles for each zoom level. When a tile is requested, ChamplainView will first check if it is in cache (in the user's cache dir under champlain). If an error occurs during download, an error tile will be displayed (if not in offline mode).
