Hi, I am looking into ways to show a map in my compose application. I have found the Google maps compose library (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/maps-compose). However my application would benefit from more nature oriented map (showing trails in forest, marked paths etc.). I know an API which will respond with map tile images I can use . Do you know if there is some kotlin/compose library which would allow me to render map from custom API and also draw points, route on top (ideally I would want to use mapy.cz API for getting the map tiles)? Thanks!

You may want to check out google maps utils with the overlay and KML stuff -- you can draw things on top of the map separately and there are some reasonable blogs about making animated drawn lines and things on top

You can use openstreet map with custom compose-native utilities for loading tiles and drawing them on the canvas.

This is a working example (I don't know if it originates in this repo or somewhere else):

So I am sure it can be adapted with a different tile loader.

Here is a PR in the same repo to make it generic and work across all platforms:

Awesome, thanks. I'll look into it. :)
