Description
I am C/C++/C# developper and would like to implement a SQLite based raster format driver, specially designed for Smartphones/GPS. The format is for instance used by the following apps:
- Android: Oruxmaps, BigPlanet, RMaps
- iPhone: Galileo
The sqlite database contains typically 256*256 pixel tiles as image blobs (jpg/png/tif/gif). In some formats a xml file with further geo ref info is attached.
What are your opinions? kking73

Doesn't seem like a ticket issue, perhaps a mailing list message would be better?
Not sure what you want to ask, but you are of course welcome to implement and contribute new drivers. You can perhaps take inspiration from the Rasterlite or MBTiles drivers to see how to implement a GDAL driver that reads a SQLite DB.
