Using Maps without internet

[wladek]

Hi Guys,

Is there a way of using the QML MAP element without having access to the internet? I am thinking of a way to use the integrated OVI Maps (that can be downloaded before). By using some sort of API…

Could this be even done, or we are obliged in using the internet?

I am having a look at this example: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1...mapviewer.html

I deploy my application on a E7 device and the map loads nicely if a have the Wi-Fi enabled and connected to a wireless network. But when I turn the Wi-Fi off and start the application I have the error:

[Qt Message] "Network session error."

[Qt Message] "Network session error."

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In the example, the Map element is defined like:

Map {
         id: map
         plugin : Plugin {
                             name : "nokia"
                         }
         size.width: parent.width
         size.height: parent.height
         zoomLevel: 7
        .
        .
        .
}

Map {
         id: map
         plugin : Plugin {
                             name : "nokia"
                         }
         size.width: parent.width
         size.height: parent.height
         zoomLevel: 7
        .
        .
        .
}

Do I need to change the plugin to a different one? But which?

You probably need to develop your own plugin that will only query the offline storage for ovi maps.

And what guidelines should I follow while developing this kind of a plugin?

No idea. Implement appropriate virtual methods properly
