Is it possible to use a map view in a situation where there is no internet access?
The app I'm developing is for use at an event, which means I know in advance where the user will be. I'd like to be able to preload the map data for that area so that it can be available without internet. It's a pretty small area (less than 1 square mile).
Thanks,
Frank
Hello Frank,
Sure. You will need to use custom map tiles or a custom overlay. There are numerous tutorials online. Here is an older link that you give you additional pointers: world.i3factory.com/ios-osx-off-line-mapping-custom-and-offline-maps-using-overlay-tiles/
One thing to be aware of is that you probably won't be able to preload map data. You will have to supply your own. Since this is an event, I suggest you get a good, accurate map of the area and use that as a custom overlay. Make sure you have rights to copy and use the map data in your app.
