-In order to start creating map style for offline maps you need to install some software on your computer. Below are the steps describing installing recommended software like text editor, PHP server and browser. We also provide you some example map styles. Note that these steps are describing installing software on Windows, but you can also create map style for offline maps on other operating systems like Linux and macOS, but you will need to find alternatives to software mentioned in these steps.+In order to start creating map style for offline map you need to install some software on your computer.

   - Firstly you need some browser. We recommend you downloading and installing Mozilla Firefox: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new.

For this we recommend you Empty cache button with which you can simply by one click delete cache data: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/empty-cache-button.   - Firstly you need some browser.
