Question JZ - Every app I have looks for an internet connection immediately after being launched. If these map tiles are viewed in BCN, will BCN launch (and view those tiles) without an internet connection?

Thanks.


Once you have the titles downloaded you don't need internet. That's the beauty of it.

Ok, update. I copied the folder from the SD card on my tablet to my PC. Then downloaded it to an blank SD card. Plugged it unto my phone.

And Voila, every inch of Baja in high def sat imagery was right there on my phone without any connection to the internet.

Tomorrow I'll upload it to Google Drive and post the link. Alll you'll need to do is:

- Have an Android phone
- Have BCN Pro installed
- Download the folder to your computer (or directly to a mirco SD card - will take longer)
- Copy the folder to at least a 64GB SD micro card
- Put the card in your phone/tablet
- Go under Settings in BCN and set the storage location to "External"

I just started the upload. It's about 70GB. So you need a 128GB micro SD.

Here is a really good one for $23: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCMKK5X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b...

You can download it to your laptop first, and then put it on as many micro SD's as you want. So you can have it on your tablet, phone, your kid's phone, etc.

More info coming soon.

Doug, I sent you a PM with the link to download. Don't want to post it publicly, as it might crash my Google Drive if too many click it.
