Android Question B4XMap and OSMDroid

[RB Smissaert]

Open Street Map viewer - GPS

Hi, This b4Xlib contains a custom view (cvMap) which can display Open Street Map. The tiles are retrieved from the internet and cached in a database. You can add shapes and images on the map. UI : - Lat/lng Center of the map - Zoom Level - Compass Direction with rotation - Scale - Button...

Have converted my map code from OSMDroid to B4XMap, that currently is I have both options in my app.
As far as I can see there isn't anything that can't be done with B4XMap that can be done by OSMDroid, that is
for things I need. So, I am thinking to take all the OSMDroid code out and rely on just B4XMap.
Is there anybody who has done similar and come to the same conclusion or are there reasons to stick with OSMDroid?

I made the same decision to move from OSMDroid to B4XMap. It is now working in my PC dispatcher app and I plan to integrate it into Android client app now. Just in case: there was a bug in B4XMap - when underlying pane is resized, all feature show settings (ShowMenu, ShowCenter, etc) except ShowGrid will be set to true ignoring initialization settings. I did a fix for this basing on latest public UDG's version at that moment, and some other small fixes. Please see attached this modified version.
Sorry for such late answer, I came upon this thread only now.

This is Open Street Map viewer library (yes, with a bit confusing name). Please see this thread.

You can use Tileproviders with GoogleMap too.

But it makes no sense for me as the GoogleTiles are more accurate and are free to use in Android.

Most of my target devices don't have Google Services. That's why I use OSM.
