I am a .NET C# developer, and I’ve had an idea for a tool for a long time. I use Little Navmap, and while it’s fantastic, I want to create something similar.
However, I’ve been struggling to find good resources on how they load the airports on top of the maps, along with the runway information, etc.
I know they use layers, but the maps don’t look like Apple Maps or Google Maps.
I’m just looking for some pointers on where or what to search for.

With a link to the C++ repository.
The code how they are loading airports on top of the maps is right there. All open source. For you to look/copy/imitate.
Please let me know how that is not what you’re asking?
Hi @Novatroop77 ,
You have probably seen this topic:
Don’t know if it helps with your development project.
You might also try asking your question on one of the Google Dev forums, if you want a google map-like display in your tool.
