Force download a tile(s)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Long press on the map, beside the actual options (reset map position and 
show/hide map), there should be option to force reloading visible map tiles. 
This would be very helpful when user (like me) using GPS Cycle Computer for OSM 
digitizing. Then I can easily see my changes later. Now I have to update tiles 
by dates (what doesn't work sometimes and is time consuming).

I have installed 4.9beta and it works great :) Excelent work! I was waiting for 
this option for months :)

From my point of view, when I mainly use fast Wi-Fi connection (I don't pay the 
GSM operator for reloading tiles), it would be absolutely excelent option to 
force download tiles in view for ALL zoom levels.

Of course this must be limited to some zoom level e.g. downloading tiles for 
all zoom levels is possible only when actual zoom level is e.g. 14-18 - becasue 
on these levels, interesting details on the map are visible yet. So if I can 
explain how it could work:
E.g. My actual zoom level is 15, I click "reload map tiles for all zoom levels" 
and all visible tiles for zooms from 1-18 (or it could be optimized that e.g. 
10-18) are downloaded). WhenI am on zoom level 13, then only 10-13 are 
downloaded.

Or maybe it could work in other way that it could reload tiles from zoom levels 
+2 and -2 from actual zoom level. So when I am on level 12, then 10-14 are 
reloaded. and when I am on 17 then 15-18 are realoaded.

Perhaps you may have a look on the little tool "PDATileManager".

Yes, I already use it, but it updates ALL tiles or downloads particular 
boundings what must be set manualy. Updating all tiles takes too much time (3 
hours at least) and adding bounding rect manually is not so handy :/

But in mentioned proposal I could download my neighborhood (where I walk very 
often and digitalizing it) in just 1 click, without updating all tiles from 
different part of the country/continent/world.
