Open Source Software for Mobile Phones

MGMaps Lib SDK is a lightweight Java ME mapping library. It gives an easy way to add mapping capabilities to your Mobile Java applications. Currently it supports slippy maps (with OpenStreetmap and other sources), searches, KML overlays and GPS positioning. The kit is currently available on Java ME and Blackberry platforms.

It is available under GNU GPL in addition to the commercial license. So it can be used for free in open source projects. Registration is required for downloading the source code.

This project provides a component that you can add to your iPhone application to access all basic features of Google Maps (similar to Android’s MapView). It uses a UIWebView in the background to load the HTML/Javascript version of Google Maps, and offers a set of Objective-C methods that mimic a subset of the original Javascript methods for controlling the map. It currently supports setting the center location, and zooming & panning using the touch interface.
