libchamplain - a map widget

libchamplain is a Gtk widget displaying zoomable and pannable maps that can be loaded from various network sources. It supports overlay layers, markers, and custom elements displayed on top of the maps. The library is written in C but other language mappings are also available thanks to GObject-Introspection.

libchamplain depends on the following libraries:

• glib
• gtk
• clutter
• clutter-gtk
• libsoup
• cairo
• sqlite

To build libchamplain from sources using meson, run:

meson _builddir; cd _builddir; ninja; sudo ninja install

It is possible to specify compilation options defined in meson_options.txt by using the -D flag, e.g.:

meson _builddir -Dgtk_doc=true -Ddemos=true

For simple examples how to use the library, check the demos directory; in particular, the minimal-gtk.c and minimal.py demos are good starting points to see how to get the most basic map application running.
