Maps of Spain is used as a GIS tool, comes from a Spanish government department (https://www.ign.es/web/ign/portal) and is used by professionals of various types, including workers of the Spanish State (police, forest guards, firefighters...)

It is common to have the catalog of maps of Spain in internal storage. For example, databases, in mbtiles format:

https://centrodedescargas.cnig.es/CentroDescargas/loadMapMov.do

It is not possible to move all that information to the private storage of each app that wants to use that data (we are talking about tens or hundreds of gigabytes). And from public storage, using the Android file access system, direct and random access to files is not allowed, which is required by the app to access databases or binary map formats.

Without this permission, professional and non-professional users who regularly use the app as a GIS will not be able to continue using the app as needed.
