Smarthphones did provide us access to all of Haiti on OSMAnnd or

We did also use Mapillary and ODK tools. But at the end of the day, we
could not edit the data in JOSM, bringing in these various infos to
compare with the OSM map as a background. This, even if I tried
previously to cache OSM tiles for the area, I did not have access to
these tiles while in the field with no internet access. A cache could be
a solution. A better solution is to Add an Offline OSM Vector map plugin
to JOSM. This would be a great enhancement for OSM contributors that
experience difficulty to access data online.
I don't understand what you request at all.
- JOSM has tile caches which usually are small, but you can increase size
- JOSM is an vector map editor - its main task is to display vector data
- JOSM can load stored offline data files in XML and also PBF format
Everything already there.
OBF support could be included in a plugin, but I don't see much sense to
support a storage format of a single application.
