Download and install complete world map

[klendgit]

To have all maps added to Nomad, one could do the following:

Download the latest pmtiles from this link: https://maps.protomaps.com/builds/ for instance 20260330.pmtiles - this is a HUGE file (125GB) and download can take a very long time. (select the download link)
Once downloaded, move the file into the folder /opt/project-nomad/storage/maps/pmtiles with the command:
sudo mv $HOME/Downloads/20260330.pmtiles /opt/project-nomad/storage/maps/pmtiles/world_20260330.pmtiles
A refresh in the Maps Manager will make it appear in the Offline Map View.

It's also possible to download it directly from within the Maps Manager via the 'Download a Custom Map File' button.

I realise this is not possible on smaller systems, but it is worth while for those who have enough storage.

Currently giving this whirl by adding it as a custom map. I will update once the download finishes.

Off subject, I linked this post in a discussion I started about adding websites to the Information Library. I wonder if custom ZIM files can be moved into the respective folder and show up in there for viewing. I have a few user manual databases I frequently access for automotive electronic installs and being able to access the information without internet would be very helpful.
