There are two ways to get offline map data onto the device, either as raster data or as vector data. You then need a piece of software that takes the raster tiles and displays them, or loads the vector data and draws it. I suggest that you peruse the Android software list on our Wiki and check out some of the existing programs. Many are open-source so you can inspect the source code. There's a table at the bottom of the page detailing whether the software has bitmap or vector data, and supports offline maps. answered 03 Feb '14, 11:06  Frederik Ramm ♦ |
While not the only choice you can use https://github.com/mapsforge/mapsforge for offline rendering of OSM data, or extract the rendering engine from one of the applications that already do so (osmand, maps.me). answered 20 May '16, 06:04  SimonPoole ♦ |
