QWidgetMap is a mapping library that provides a Qt QWidget class that you can use in your own applications
The library design and functionality was originally based on the QMapControl project (http://www.medieninf.de/qmapcontrol)
Features:
- Drawable Items:
- Maps: Supports tile map services (also known as 'Slippy Map')
- Geometries: Supports points, lines, ellipses, polygons and other custom shapes (arrows, circles, images and text)
- Other: Supports ESRI Shapefile (see below)
- Layers:
- Maps, geometries and other drawable items can be added to a layer, which can be shown or hidden as required

Note: It is recommended to use a 'shadow build' folder when building QWidgetMap
From the root directory run the following commands to build QWidgetMap within a 'shadow build' folder (replace make with nmake for MSVC):
mkdir build
cd build
qmake ../src
makeTo install QWidgetMap, run:
make install
Add prefix=INSTALL_LOCATION to the qmake command to specify where QWidgetMap is installed
Note: INSTALL_LOCATION must be an absolute path to the install directory required
Add CONFIG+=with-example to the qmake command
Add CONFIG+=with-plugins to the qmake command
