Hi Migel,

you can use the function enablePersistentCache to store map tiles locally. But there is currently no script to initialize the cache with a map region automatically. So you have to browse manually through the area which you want to be cached.

Thank you for answer, is it i'm right to understand i can download osm file area which i want to use (for example Moscow Region, Russia) from openstreetmap and after that load it use enablePersistentCache?
Or first time i conecting with server and after that i'll cache region which are intersting for me, and in next start application i can load it from cache
