CloudMade partners release new mobile libraries
Great news!
Our trusted partners CartoType and Nutiteq have created new mobile & desktop libraries, which you can check out here. These new libraries support the latest CloudMade mapping services including raster and vector maps:
Raster Libraries
- Java Micro Edition J2ME (updated)
- Blackberry (new)
- Android (new)
Vector Libraries
- Windows Mobile (new)
- Symbian (new)
- Windows Desktop (new)
Nutiteq have long been a trusted CloudMade partner providing mobile libraries. They have now added CloudMade support for two leading mobile platforms - Blackberry and Android. Blackberry commands a high worldwide market share for smart phones and is the leading platform for email and enterprise. Google’s Android has set a new bar for open source mobile OSes, and we expect a number of new handsets to come to market during the remainder of this year. Both libraries give access to a full range of CloudMade services including custom image tiles, geosearch and routing.
CartoType have been experimenting with CloudMade’s alpha Vector Server which can stream map data to any connected device where it can be rendered on the fly. Per Nick’s previous post, there are a lot of new features planned for CloudMade’s vector server – including multiple outputs formats (XML, JSON, OSM) and a fully featured API that will let you select which parts of the map data are returned to the client. CartoType have been gracious in releasing their libraries to our developer community at an early stage.
We’re excited to hear feedback from our developer community on these new libraries. We’d like to thank CartoType and Nutiteq for their support!
