Work is progressing...

now i managed successfully to locate and download tiles from open mapquest (based on OSM data). And i discovered that it's time to digg deeper on projections and switch Track@Way to the mercator projection (the same used by online mapping sources).

The other way would be to draw tiles myself and start from OSM raw data, but i dont like this approach for a few reasons:
- difficult to store/merge/draw data in realtime (it's XML for mysake!)
- will not be compatible with google maps, bing or other closed source data providers

So, this is the overall idea now is to switch to a real projection (mercator) on the tracking table. Still i have to understand what this means in terms of coding and what should i do with maps which are not in mercator... how to i "change" them?
