Again, great job, Jerry!! I've been using OSM tiles for a couple days now and really like it. In addition to the great OSM maps, panning is so nice now since it only the edge tiles are downloaded as compared to the whole screen before, but everyone already knows that.
In fact I like using OSM so much that I would rather use that for offline maps most of the time. I know because of the caching, any tiles that have been downloaded will essentially be available for offline use. I am wondering, though, if there is a way to download a large area of tiles explicitly for offline use? Maybe this could be a feature integrated into updating the cached tiles? Just define an area and all those tiles will be updated, or cached? Sorry if I am stating the obvious, maybe you are already looking into that. Again, great job to everyone working on Xastir, it's a great program and just keeps getting better.
