That's not what I call "offline". HERE is offline, this is useless.
This update is for the new version of their SDK, Mapbox GL. When they first announced it, there was no offline map support, so I couldn't bring my apps over to it.
For anyone who's interested, I used the offline maps in a trail/hiking app that needs to work in remote mountains, and for a "back seat driver" app for kids in the back of cars on road trips.

Pre-cached directions are just one use case for offline maps. Our SDK gives developers the control to download arbitrary bounding boxes for any purpose.

Hello! I work at Mapbox. Pre-cached directions are just one use case for offline maps. Our SDK gives developers the control to download arbitrary bounding boxes for any purpose.
Do you know a good android app that uses OSM with offline mode ? I am actually using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skobbler.f... which is working perfectly but its last update was a year ago ...
Osmand

I actually thought this would be the obvious answer, instead it's near the bottom of the thread. Odd for the best open source navigation app I've ever found.
Just downloaded OsmAnd after switching to maps.me 6 months ago. They've made a lot of changes (for the better). Thanks for the suggestion
