Basic Terminology

If you aren't fully familiar with flutter_map yet, you should first read through it's detailed documentation.

For development with this package, it is essential to become familiar with some terminology used throughout the documentation and API:

  • A 'Root' can hold multiple 'Stores'.

    There is usually only one root per application, but more complex applications may wish to use more than one. In this case, the initialisation function can be run more than once.

  • 'Browse Caching' (or just 'caching') is the caching performed when a user pans over a tile in a map view and it becomes visible.

  • 'Bulk Downloading' is the caching performed when a user initiates a download by specifying a region to download at once.
