Browsers cache things sent to them without Javascript too, and in fact that works a lot better than JS-based map sites where you usually find they do stop scrolling back to parts you've already viewed when the internet connection drops out. I get to see a lot of Javascript going wrong on my dodgy internet connection, and it's a joke compared to how some browsers handle caching of plain HTML content. Anyway for maps I'd ideally have a separate program running locally and loading map data from an updatable local file, but last time I looked into that (a long time ago, I'll admit) the free options weren't very capable. I mainly still use paper maps. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
