When downloading an offline area in Field Maps, currently the Basemap option is set in Field Maps Designer as either of the following 3 options:

- Basemap defined by the web map
- Tile package on the device
- Tile package from my organization
 
If the 2nd option is selected and the file is not present on the device, it defaults back to the "Basemap defined by the web map" option. 
 
IDEA: Allow the use to choose whether to use the basemap as specified in Options 2 & 3, OR Option 1. 
 
Use case: We have a general map that for the most part, imagery is optional thus a basemap on the device streamlines the offline download workflow. However, we have some use cases where the user would prefer to have the imagery avaiable. To achieve this, they need to NOT have the file on their device so that it defaults back to the 1st Option. If there was a choice at the point of download, this would allow them to choose the most appropriate solution for the occasion.
