JMapViewer is a Java component which allows to easily integrate an OSM map view into your Java application. It is maintained as an independent project by the JOSM team.
Features
- Provides integrated zoom controls (slider and buttons) in the left upper corner (can be hidden)
- Switch between different tile sources: Mapnik, Tiles@Home, Cyclemap, ... (other tiled maps can be used, too)
- Configurable in-memory and file-based caching of loaded map tiles
- A list of map markers (the yellow circles in the screenshot) can be added. Map markers of different shape can be easily added by implementing the MapMarker interface.
- Configurable/Extentable/Replaceable controller (code part that manages mouse interaction and how the map reacts to it)
- Requirement: Java 8 (same as JOSM)
- License: GPL
