Maps of Spain is used as a GIS tool, originates from a Spanish government department (https://www.ign.es/web/ign/portal), and is used by various professionals, including Spanish state employees (police officers, forest rangers, firefighters, etc.). It is common to have the catalog of maps of Spain stored internally. For example, databases in mbtiles format:

https://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/loadMapMov.do
It is not possible to move all this information to the private storage of each app that wants to use this data (we are talking about tens or hundreds of gigabytes). And from public storage, using the Android file access system, direct and random access to files is not permitted, which is required by the app to access databases or binary map formats.

Without this permission, professional and non-professional users who regularly use the app as a GIS tool will no longer be able to use it as needed.

Ratings and reviews

It is a fantastic app. I am a profound user for few years now. Overall excellent! I would really appreciate if you could fix a bug in the tablet (ipad) version. I used to import the tracks I create in the smartphone to the ipad and work them there, but last year the import feature stop working. Thank you very much ***Efectivamente, me refiero a MEB que tengo en el ipad. Esta funcionalidad iba bien pero desde el año pasado ya no. La usaba para importar los tracks que hago y trabajarlos. Gracias.

Excellent application. Finding decent maps in Spain was difficult, but this is as close to Ordnance Survey as you can get. Now if only I could buy the paper ones somewhere.. anywhere?

This is very useful application for DANA 2024 accessibility mapping and decision making. Hope all local police members use it to map, share and publish current situation at Valencia. After that IGN may compile hourly map and publish it for everybody ♻️⏳💫🍀 Está aplicación podría ayudar ahora en Valencia que fue impactada con DANA2024 ! NOW you may create a lot of maps Not only disaster mapping e.g. where and how to distribute drinking water, electricity recovery, mobile network coverage...
