This PR implements basic support for offline maps and would close #296

Make it work

  1. Download offline map data (maps and/or themes) from one of these map providers. I recommend OpenAndroMaps, as they also provide map themes.
  2. Unzip if neccessary and copy into /sdcard/Android/data/fi.bitrite.android.ws/files/
  3. You can now active offline maps and choose a theme (if installed) in the app settings.
  4. All offline maps are activated automatically

Future ideas and plans (not for this PR)

  • Option to choose map language (blocked until next release of OsmDroid, containing Add optional language parameter to MapsForgeTileSource osmdroid/osmdroid#1421)
  • Option to manually activate/deactivate and sort offline maps
  • Use deep links to install maps and themes from map providers
  • Options for toggling map features like POIs etc
  • Option to manually add more folders to search for map data, e.g. to reuse maps downloaded by Oruxmaps or Locus
  • Add a help section into the app to explain how offline maps can be installed
