Maybe make the application download the map on the first run?
mm..
I cannot afford time/money for a server + support.
if the data is 'free' (in the sense you don't want to specially protect
them) you could place it on e.g. http://sourceforge.net/ for download?
Or do they have now a days some limits (size, per/day/month) or so?
Or some git hoster, like github, gitorious, code.google.com etc... guess
also needs some check that it's not abusive...

Only support for the app.
On the long term, users themselves may set up sth to share maps.
But you must be able to provide the maps on a server in this case.
The additional benefit is that the user can skip downloading the data
if he knows it will not use it.
Never the case in first use. Only after some time of usage.

Hi,
I am converting my aircraft navigation app to Sailfish.
It comes (default) with OpenStreet based maps + 3D data files of Western
Europe (in RPM).
Most users will use this map, but some users may use their home made
maps
(generated by a PC application).
In the latter case, the users will delete this W-Europe map (it takes up
quite some disk space).
So far so good, but the installation/RPM is a problem:
Harbour says that I should install the app data (very much bytes for the
W-Eu map) in /usr/share/$NAME and in the first run of the app, copy
them to
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$NAME.
But now I am stuck with an enormous amount of (useless) data in
/usr/share/$NAME that cannot be removed.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
