Better map

Make content on https://nav.fosdem.org be part of the application.

Either have it all be completely offline or at least make tapping on the current image of the map open the web view at the corresponding area. (I realised very late that the arrow icon in the map view actually takes you to the web view.)

I am aware that FOSDEM is covered in free WiFi, but I would argue that reducing network load a bit would be worth it.

There exists an Android implementation of the tech that is used in the web view.

The project you mentioned in not an actual Android implementation, it's just an app using a webview and it doesn't work offline. As much as possible, I prefer to avoid webviews an just redirect to the user browser for better integration and performance. Then the proper way to reduce network load would be to make c3nav work offline using standard HTML5 APIs.

Anyway, I should probably add an option to open c3nav from the main map image as well.
