Python 2D map and GUI trough WebApp or Tkinker/PyQT

Hi,

At front: big fan of your videos! Keep on going.

I am now at the start at working out a Application from where I need to get a 2D map (openstreetmap) and using it Off-line. The program needs to give a Window, with a 2D map, and project a GPS position (using a USB GSP as input). Basic:
- 2D map - with openstreetmap
- Offline use of openstreetmap in for example SQLite or so
- Get in GPS position (connecting with GPS already works)

The program will be used by a few kids in there wheel chairs, to navigate and play around. Later search point (input csv point file, with stuff they need to find = a game for them). Ans points of interest (where is home etc).

Most basic stuff I have figured out now. But... I have two Questions.
What kind of UI library would u use?
- Use Tkinter or PyQT
- Use a Django

* in what UI can I use the Map function in the best way?

Second, do you have some tips how to load a Openstreetmap into a SQLite database for offline use. There is so much on Mr Google. But I can filter out the useful cases.

I hope you can/will give some tips and direction where to start.
