Feature request: Split offline database according to regions

The offline database has been growing quite rapidly in size. Wouldn't it be a good idea to split it into smaller sub-databases according to geographical regions as well as with/without cell data, eg. according to countries or even states? Then one would only need to import the sub-database of the region of interest, which would use much less space.

It would be nice if the download modules of the radiobeacon app and the openbmapnlp backend would be adapted so that it would offer a dialog asking which database to download.

Thanks for the report! Makes perfect sense :-)

Any news on this issue? I had a look at your web site and noticed that the data files haven't been split into regional databases, yet. It would be fantastic, if this would be implemented.

This is becoming a full time job ;-) I thought on our issue this days, because indeed I think it's an important improvement, but unfortunately haven't yet found the time to implement :-(

Implentation has made huge steps forward: server side we now have country specific extracts, see http://radiocells.org/downloads

We still have to integrate that into the Radiobeacon client and the UnifiedNLP, but you can already download this manually by now.. Radiobeacon implementation is on a good way, UnifiedNLP provider to come..
