„Das Internet ist für uns alle Neuland“ - Angela Merkel

Yes, even today there are towns in Germany where you probably won't have mobile internet, depending on your provider.

There are two parts to this:

  1. Getting data from Overpass. This can partly be solved by requesting a larger area, as long as a weak smartphone won't buckle under the load in the center of Munich, for example.
  2. Getting tiles in advance, for a larger area. I hope there's an option for that, haven't looked yet.

Part of the solution might be a button you tap early enough before losing connection. Not sure though.

https://github.com/TolonUK/Leaflet.EdgeBuffer can buffe a number of tiles around the view. Might be a start.
