Description

Hi, could the ability to have offline maps be added?
A good solution is to use the Organicmaps API perhaps as an external addon, with the ability to switch to online if the required map is not downloaded offline.

An alternative might be the Osmand API

It would be very useful on various occasions, plus it would reduce the traffic on the servers
