For some time I've been thinking to do something like this but never got round to it. I was planning to set up a caching proxy and configure my home router to redirect only traffic for the Osmand map server there. Similar idea but less overhead - just download the maps on one device and they are automatically cached on the local network for subsequent devices. I hope this would also be a cross platform solution (iOS/Android) but I'm not sure whether the 2 apps use the same map files.
Curious to know if anyone out there has already tried this setup?
