what it is
touchMapLight is an open source (provided under apache v2 license) JavaScript library for displaying map tiles in webkit browsers. Keeping mobile platforms in mind it's core components are kept compact by size. It can handle titles from OSM, Google, WMS and is easy to extend to new tile based services (but please respect their licensing/ terms of service). It is based on panoJS.
