        Does any other country on the continent of North America or South America actually have the word “America” in their name? Do people from countries who don’t use the word “America” in their name identify more strongly with the word than people from countries that do use the word “America” in their name? You’re in America according to your post history. Who exactly are you sticking up for?

                Your argument sounds so weak right now. Really? “I don’t live there! I mean, I did. Last week. But now I’m not from there, I’m from here”. Whatever dude.

                Wherever you are now, I bet there’s at least one person in town who would deck you if you tried to call their country, that they’re proud of, “America”, which is the name of another country that they’ve likely been screwed by in the past. Except I bet you’re still in California.

                  I’m currently hanging my hat in America. I’m not in the US.

                  It doesn’t matter where I am. That doesn’t affect thr really that conflating the US with all of America is rude to the vast majority of the population across two continents.

    This is how you can get offline Wikipedia articles for OSM. Great when traveling.

    You can, for example, read articles about things you pass in a plane, train, auto, or bike. Without internet.

      Do you mind to elaborate?

      Because the post is for Wikipedia website, which is online

        In OsmAnd you can download map data for use offline. In the same download page for thr map data there’s also a download for Wikipedia data.

        Download data is per country, so someone just bundled all the articles that have GPS coordinates withing the bounds of each country, and you can download all those articles for offline use in the OsmAnd app.

    Shame you can’t manually input a location (not only for privacy, but for tourists and visitors who might want to plan ahead)
