Offline Maps: Timing, Launch, and Feedback

[twbell]

Offline Maps will be available March 15 in Android 4.0.0 and iOS 3.2.0.

Android Offline is available now as a snapshot; iOS Offline is forthcoming. We have posted preview documentation with an overview of features and capabilities, plus code examples for iOS and Android.

We are heads-down with internal testing for the next two weeks, but welcome comments and questions here that help us improve the code, the feature, and the documentation.

We're looking forward to how the discussion of MBTiles and consuming pre-built databases shakes out. Thinking of running a 'server' on the device to mimic API endpoints to access a pre-built database in the meantime.
