The documentation in the OpenStreepMap Wiki is currently still correct but is not activily maintained by the libosmscout team.

You can find a list of features here. Note that the features pages are currently not up to date. We are unsure how to best represent all the features of libosmscout.

You can find some documentation and tutorials on the homepage and some other documentation in the git repository.

There are a number of demo applications that show how to make use of the various features of the library.

We plan to move all documentation for the repository to the homepage.
