Oh, yeah, I think I did see that some time ago but it seemed kind of
limited, in terms of overall porting. It looks like they were looking
for some specific things to pull out of OpenMap.
I would need to read up on the rendering model of Android before
converting OMGraphics and Layers, too, since that ties directly into
the results of data source reading. And I need to get OM5 out the
door first, of course.
Thanks,
Don

The projection package should work, and the parts that read data sources should still work. The other main parts that would need to be rewritten: MapBeans, Layers, MapHandler, all the event components and GUI components.

A big requirement is that all of the map data needs to be preloaded and live onboard the device as there may not be a network connection available during the use of the application. This seems to rule out googe-maps-based approaches, and as I'm more familiar with Java than Objective-C we're leaning towards an Android tablet like the Xoom.
