How to take Mapbox Search offline
summary
Mapbox Offline Search SDK delivers forward and reverse geocoding, POI and search along route entirely on device by downloading regional tile packs into a single tile store. The demo shows predictive caching that auto-downloads tiles as location or route changes so searches for categories, addresses, brands (text-only offline), EV chargers and multi‑language category queries return results while offline. Offline data stores minimal metadata (name, address, category, coordinates); rich attributes and full brand lists remain online and tiles update weekly.
