  • Thanks for making and sharing this. I know I'll use it. I keep discovering features. I'm glad you've got the Basemaps imagery on there.

    In terms of offline use, does it keep low-res tiles of the whole country for offline use, with the option to download individual tiles when you're zoomed in? That's how it seems to work.

    • Basically, it just caches anything you've looked at, and nothing else :)

      If you try and zoom in further than it has cached data, it'll use a lower res version, if it has one.

      • OK, cool. What does the little download button that shows up when you zoom in do?
