Bevy Slippy Tiles

A helper bevy plugin to handle downloading OpenStreetMap-compliant slippy tiles.

DownloadSlippyTilesEvent can be fired to request one or more slippy tile downloads.

SlippyTileDownloadedEvent is fired when a requested slippy tile has been retrieved successfully. The file path is stored in the event and can be used with the asset loader.

Example

Here's a snippet of the example in this crate. This app will load a slippy tile and it's surrounding 8 tiles at the latitude and longitude specified.

Run with: cargo run --example simple
