Mapsui is a C# library for mapping applications.

• Intended to develop apps
• Designed to be fast and responsive (see architecture)
• All data fetching is on a background thread (disk, web, or database)
• Code is written to be used cross platform (using PCL or code sharing)
• Based on a modified version of SharpMap.
• Uses BruTile to access tile services

###Get it from NuGet PM> Install-Package Mapsui

Mapsui, the core project, is a PCL with Profile111 which targets:

• .Net Framework 4.5
• ASP.NET Core 5.0
• Windows 8
• Windows Phone 8.1
• Xamarin.Android
• Xamarin.iOS
• Xamarin.iOS (Classic)

For several platforms there are separate assemblies for the UI and for Rendering. Those are:

• Mapsui.UI.Xaml and Mapsui.Rendering.Xaml for WPF on .NET 4.5
• Mapsui.UI.Xaml-W8 and Mapsui.Rendering.Xaml-W8 for Windows Store apps
• Mapsui.UI.Android and Mapsui.Rendering.Android for API Level 15 (v4.0.3 - Ice Cream Sandwich)
• Mapsui.UI.iOS and Mapsui.Rendering.iOS

• There is limited documentation.
• Breaking changes will be introduced frequently. We change the API whenever we feel this is an improvement.
• We adopt new technologies relatively fast, and dropping support for older frameworks.
• Only use this project if you are willing to dig into the code.
• Although there is a general plan of where to go with this library there are not enough resources to go towards that goal in a systematic way. New functionality is driven by what is needed in our projects.
