Comment 2 for bug 579389

Sorry, but I'm declining this patch. It seems like something that would be useful for you but not suitable for the average user. The main problem with this approach is that it may take a few passes before the user is convinced that all the tiles have downloaded. I think a better way would be to have a non-default setting saying that after a route is downloaded, the 'wait' screen continues until all the required tiles have been downloaded.

I remember reading on the OSM wiki a page with a code of conduct for using their map tiles but I can't find it anymore. From what I remember it definitely said that large scale downloading like what AndNav does is not allowed, so this patch is definitely in the right direction. Maybe AndNav run their own tile server so they can precache a lot more, but I don't think we'll be looking for that.
