Since the last Android release @CoMaps allows using a custom server from which to download map files.

This decreases reliance on CoMaps-run infrastructure but is also great for people who live in places with limited internet connectivity, as you can now serve maps from local networks.

To make it easier, I wrote a small CLI tool over the weekend that downloads maps of interest & then serves them locally. A first alpha release for testing is on Codeberg:
