draft
- at home:
- fetch an overview tile set of intended sailing area zoomlevels ~1-14 (/w mobac, preconfigured downloads, etc.) and preload cache
- on board while connected to internet:
- grab detailed tiles zoom 15-18 of intended approaches/anchorages via web app through proxy and cache
- under way /wo internet connection:
- sail using cached tiles
- aim:
- keep stress on tile servers low (do NOT download all possible tiles of zoom levels 15-18 at home)
- drawback:
- a 'raw' tile store /w deep /{z}/{x}/{y} directory structure might cause trouble on (sd-card driven) rasPIs ...
