## Can I use iD offline?
iD does not currently have an offline mode.
To support offline usage requires caching or providing an offline proxy for the three
main things iD uses the network for:
* Downloading existing data -- this is done on demand as you pan around
* Downloading tiles -- ditto
* Uploading changes
We've though a little about [caching tiles](https://github.com/systemed/iD/issues/127)
and downloaded data, but haven't actively worked on it, nor on the data download/upload
question.
