Description
Hello,
to avoid a problem like with the last provider cutting access suddenly, it would be great to store maps offline to be independent of outside changes. It would also follow the philosophy of Nextcloud itself, meaning to host everything by oneself without dependence on some cloud service.
To save space it would be nice to be able to download only maps of certain countries/continents. If additional maps should be installed, they could be downloaded in the web interface/placed manually.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the current map provider and the web-interface paths for map data, then define how selected countries or continents would be stored or manually installed. Done would mean maps can be used offline without the external provider, with scoped downloads supported.
