Did you explore the solution of just caching the pmtiles requests responses as well, instead of IndexedDb ?

I didn't dig too deeply into it, because explicitly storing locally just gives a bit more control. Also, since I was kind of imitating the style of Organic Maps, I wanted to give the ability to download entire tiles. I view caching responses more like a performance enhancement, whereas I wanted explicit offline support.

That makes sens. Both features combined would be cool. In any case, a cache invalidation feature should be always visible to the user, so that he knows that clicking this button will switch to online mode.

Awesome, thanks for the links.

Funny : there's another Ben that did his "Ben maps". https://benmaps.fr

What can I say? Bens like maps I guess.
