Tile5 - opensource HTML5 mapping javascript library

Tile5 is an opensource HTML5 mapping javascript library that gives developers the ability to use existing mapping engines and provide a rich HTML5 experience. Tile5 can also be used to create more generic HTML5 tiling interfaces. 


Tile5 is targeted primarily at mobile devices that support HTML5. The goal is to achieve compatibility with all mobile devices considered “Class A” on the jQuery Mobile GBS chart. Longer term intend to support the various desktop browsers as well (some even work right now).
