Use custom offline map folder
I use several different apps on my smartphone with the same set of mapsforge maps e.g.
- Locus
- Orux
- WhereYouGo
- ...
Normally I download the maps from OpenAndroMaps on my PC an copy it on my phone.
The maps are stored in one location. On my phone in the locus/mapsvector folder.
In the apps mentioned above I can set the offline maps path to my custom folder, et voila, I use the same mapfiles and save space on my phone. I addition, I have to update the maps online once and not for each app.
Would be nice if it would be possible to select own path for offline maps.

There would be a simple solution for you.... All offline maps will be stored in GCDroid/maps folder and you have the other apps point to that :-)
simple but not flexible, and I would call it "workaround" and not a "solution" ;-)
