Hi
I’m working on a map based app for doing geographical surveys which will be used in locations where internet connectivity doesn’t exist. This is my first app so I’m learning as I go.
I understand that I can take snapshots of a map (while on-line of course) and am wondering if it’s feasible/allowed to save these images and use them later as overlays when there is no data connection.
My questions then are:
a) is this a valid approach?
b) when capturing the map image would the region details be available so it can be used as a tile/overlay?
I‘ve discussed using open street map tiles with a non-developer friend who has sveral years experience with them as a user and have been told they can be problematic at best. Also, I’d very much like to avoid using third party functionality.
Thanks very much
Mark
