Google Code-in

Code a map application similar to GNOME Maps using OpenStreetMap as a data source.

This is a multi-part task, there will be more tasks adding more functionalities to the application. For this first task, the goal is to get the minimal support code going. It can be a command line app and should achieve the following:

• Accept coordinates and zoom level on the command line,
• Download a map tile from an online service,
• Save the tile to an image file on disk to check it is the right one.

To display a map you can use:

• Mapbox Static API (to render map tiles) - https://www.mapbox.com/api-documentation/#static
• BHttp* functions. Use this functions from the Haiku API to do the HTTP requests

Task continues at Part II with adding an user interface with a window and showing the map.
