Code a map application (Part 2)

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.

You must work from the application created in part 1: https://github.com/raefaldhia/Maps

For this second part, the goal is to get the downloaded map tile to display on screen (instead of saving it to disk). You will need to:

  • Open a window
  • Decode the downloaded tile using the translation kit to create a BBitmap
  • Display the BBitmap onto a view inside the window.

The task will continue with part 3: management of zooming and panning accross the map.
