Hardly an impossible feature to add to a mapping product tho? We are basically talking downloading the map tiles to the device you want to browse from.

HERE maps are not pre-rendered tiles, they are heavily compressed geometries and features. That's why it can do searches and navigation offline.
That is interesting, as OVI maps was tiles IIRC, thanks!
