please document in-app where to put externally downloaded map files.

Please document in-app where to put map files that you downloaded with the computer. I successfully got it running this way:

  • On the desktop, I downloaded the files 00_roboto_regular.ttf, 01_dejavusans.ttf, 02_droidsans-fallback.ttf, 03_jomolhari-id-a3d.ttf, 04_padauk.ttf, 05_khmeros.ttf, 06_code2000.ttf, 07_roboto_medium.ttf, World.mwm, WorldCoasts.mwm, WorldCoasts_obsolete.mwm and the .mwm of my region from http://opensource-data.mapswithme.com/regular/weekly/. The license to do so is granted in https://github.com/mapsme/omim/issues/10387 and #85 (closed)
  • fresh install of Maps app 8.6.2-2 from FDroid.
  • grant the app permission for storage and location. Firewall all outgoing connection, since it can't download maps anyway (see #82 (closed) and #85 (closed)). Create directory /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.github.axet.maps/files/MapsWithMe/.
  • Fire up app, kill it at the failed downloading screen.
  • delete both download-in-progress files from /storage/emulated/0/MapsWithMe/. Put here all the downloaded files from the desktop.
  • Start up maps app. Now it should work.

Directories that don't work if empty before the transfer: /storage/emulated/0/MapsWithMe/, /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.github.axet.maps/files/, /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.github.axet.maps/files/MapsWithMe/
