Managing/saving downloaded maps

I live on the road and often spend time in areas where Gaia is indispensable but cellular service is not available.

As a result, I often download maps over a slow cellular data connection.

Now that iOS can save files to external devices, etc., could you please allow a user to select the save location of the downloaded maps (much like is possible on an Android device) but also allow the user to copy the downloaded files/maps to a USB memory card, etc. so that they can be easily copied to another iOS device without redownloading it on the second device.

I travel, plan and navigate with three iOS devices (iPhone, iPad Pro and iPad mini) and if I want to be able to access the downloaded maps on the three devices, I currently have to download them three times, which is quite challenging over a cellular connection.

Thank you.

  I was really hoping that either the Gaia Development team would monitor this forum and comment on my suggestion.

  Is this feature of any interest to any other iOS users?

  Have you considered this Gaia?

  Plus 1, plus where DOES iOS save the files? I can't even find them to back them up locally at all.
