I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Nottingham, in my third year, developing an Android app as my dissertation project. The app is my dissertation, and will never be distributed commercially. Edit; I want to add data to the map, not only view it. |

There are a few APIs to consider: The editing api lets you retrieve and edit raw data (including history). It require no "API key" but it requires a registered OSM user for any editing, and it probably looks at your http user agent. The other apis are the generated-tiles viewing apis similar to googlemapview. A few exist, two popular ones being openlayers and leaflet. There are also special-purpose apis like nominatim. All of these usually require no more than a properly-setup http user agent (and reasonable usage of resources, but that should be no problem for a dissertation project). |
