Evopedia is an offline Wikipedia viewer. It allows to search for articles based on their title or the geographic location on a map. If you are online, even images are displayed.
Apart from the software you also need to download a specially prepared dump of the articles available here.

Dumps
Dumping Wikipedia is a very time-consuming task. Please be patient or help creating the dumps.
Available dumps:
- German Wikipedia, 2009-12-23 (1.5 GB) (some articles seem to be missing, but still almost complete and usable.)
Dump Installation
Extract one (or more) of the .zip-Files to a directory on your device and select it from within evopedia. The dump that is used can be changed using the (second) link at the top-left of the search screen.
