Unfortunately,If you use Xamarin forms, it do not have this feature. If you use custom renderer to achieve it. I find OpenStreetMap it could be achieve it. You can find relative documents by entering key words OpenStreetMap in your browser.

Thanks a lot for reply @JessieZhang-MSFT .

I was able to build very basic navigation using Mapsui.Forms (map view) and Itinero (routing). Routing database is already offline however the show stopper is the fact the Mapsui.Forms doesn't support vector tiles yet. So if I would like to download needed area offline as a bitmaps, package would growth extremely.

I so far I cannot find anything with display map offline capability for Xamarin.Forms (routing itself is greatly done by Itinero package).

Best regards
Peter
