    This prompted me to update my app:) Looking super smooth!

    Anyone know how the ‘share maps offline’ feature works?

      I don’t know of this feature so I wanted to say that they just copied the map files manually, as opposed to downloading from servers, but it doesn’t sound like that:

      Technical improvements had already been made, like the ability to share downloaded maps from a local device

      Anyone only what that’s actually referring to?

      You have to set up a server currently.

      It’s documented here: https://www.comaps.app/support/how-can-i-host-a-custom-map-server-for-downloads/
