Mapsui (pronounced map-su-wii)
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

Warnings
- 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. Functionality is added depending on what is needed in the projects it is used.
