HI,
using this mod is it possible to have all of Canada offline and all of USA offline. this way I can use the maps but not use data when I travel.
Please confirm.
Thanks
Robert
Hi
anyone can answer me. please ?
Robert
Looks like no-one knows for sure...
- theoretically yes, you can do it. I'm not sure if you can cache such a large area at once though
- you can try and see for yourself (install maps, cache everything, flight mode ON, try to browse the map)
- why would you need a special version of maps to do all that for the US & CA? Aren't they already supported by the official release?

Hey,
Wish google maps wouldn't require INTERNET connection and would work offline.
Since this is currently a fact...
I'm writing an application on Android and looking for Map Lib SDK that will enable me to display objects(layer) on top of a map in OFFLINE mode.
Having problems find one. Will appreciate your help.
I doubt Google will add offline feature ever. I have modded Google Maps app and added maps caching (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737119), but you need something for Maps API. I want to mod Maps API as well, but I have many more important things to do right now, so maybe in the future.
Thanks for the reply.
It sounds too good. I'm going to try that.
From you description, I just need to copy the zip folder to SD card.
I'm new to Android, but shouldn't I install any *.apk?
Appreciate your elaboration on installation method.
Another question.
Once it'll be installed, how to store maps in SD card and make google load them offline. When phone connected to the internet, will it take the map offline or from web?
Thanks
Ohh, I had mistaken. I wanted to give you this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
But as I said: this is an app with caching, not Maps API library, so it doesn't give you possibility to cache maps in your own app.
Is there a place to download all US map info for the GPS feature on this device? I got lost today and it wouldn't ever establish a new route because I "lost data connection", but it continued to track my position just fine.
I would suggest using an alternative app. I use google map but have copilot as a backup. The copilot let you download and store maps on the device. Google map let you cache map tiles but to cache the whole US probably to big a file. If you must use Goole map only, check out the Brut's version

Do you happen to know when they last updated it? I Bought for my WM phone a couple of year ago & was really disappointed. That was because my address of 7 years couldn't be found. I ended up sending it back & sticking with TomTom. Unfortunately we are limited with Android with gps programs with down-loadable maps.
With the new version of google maps you can go to Labs (from the menu) and enable a limited form of map caching. It downloads 10 square miles around the area you long press on and you can use it without a signal. You can store up to ten so I basically stored my local area and popular places I go.
Google's obviously working on map caching and this is the first sign of it. Give it a shot and see if it works for you.
Double posted by accident... don't know how to delete.

I don't now. I installed Razodroid 4.0, and I have Google Maps 6.7.0. This Google Maps from this link I've not installed.
it didn't work for me...
Let me tell my requirements first:
1) I use maps for finding a location, and finding directions only. I am not an advanced map user.
2) For me, Google maps does the job. It saves the maps on sd card, but the problem is after some days, they just vanish. Something like map cache.
3) I need Offline maps, and I know Locus lets user to download maps to sd card, ( and I guess they won't vanish like Google Maps Cache). I have Locus installed. But I found Locus too complex to use ( compared to Google Maps, where I would just load the area and that area remains on my sd card((but vanishes after some days as I said))
I read some tutorials but couldn't follow them well, ( I'm a basic maps user) I need Locus just for offline sd maps, so that when I'm with someone, and I have to take that person to say a new restaurant, I don't want to wait to find that place, direction, etc stuff)
I need these things from locus to save on my sd card:
1) Certain points of attractions (restaurants, places etc.)
2) Directions to those points from my home
3) Maps of my city
So Please anyone tell me step by step guide to download NOT JUST maps but those certain points of attraction and directions to those places fro my home. using Locus.
I can take screenshots, but those image files don't help much.
I read somewhere that they have plans for offline maps(no not the labs one)
Locus Pro is now taking money in order to let you download vector maps ... :crying:
.... but Google Maps added support for offline maps
Time to switch from Locus to Google Maps !

Downloading Maps for India , the real problem is where to store them ?? I have GS3 I9300 !! Please help as i am a newbie for this subject !!
Orux Download Maps is Easy
I am using OruxMaps after I switched over from Locus
It has a fairly simple map download that works very well for me.
The only confusing part is which layers to choose, I usually go for the last 5-6 levels and get them all.
Here's a video on how it works
youtube.com/watch?v=MdE6tUkhnH4
You can use MOBAC for downloading maps (http://mobac.sourceforge.net/). Save it as "RMaps-sqplite" format and store in maps directory in Locus. You can select this map in Locus now.

Outdated ... use http://download.mapsforge.org/maps/ ...
Not sure which version it was, but I used to use Google Maps Off-line, and cache wouldn't expire (if I'm correct). Due to lobby or any other rotten (commercial) reasons, Google Maps Off-line is not available anymore in many countries, like (some) Brazil (cities), as an example.
So, I'm looking at the latest Google Maps version which allows us to download the maps again, and use it offline.
Or maybe a way to cache it without the need of scrolling it manually, at several zoom levels...
I don't know - Something that could help on browsing offline Google Maps.
Could someone help on this?
And also point me (us) to a location where to get and install it?
Some useful links...

Any other inputs or ideas would be nice as well!
Is 6.14.1 the latest available?
I've found some 6.14.3 around, but I'm not sure if someone here has really tried it, successfully. [[[ DONE, and it's okay: ]]]
http://93.114.44.238/viewtopic.php?f=399&t=517147
Note 1: I have successfully installed the 6.14.3 version above, but I'm not sure if it works as it should due to the fact I'm looking at DOWNLOADING LOCAL maps currently not available anymore, that WAS available to download until some jerks decide we need to keep paying to access it from other sources; but I still couldn't. So, if you want to install and try the Google Maps 6.14.3 (Mod/Nav) and try it, get it above, and please post a feedback.
I just did this:
1. In Titanium Backup, selected Maps and cleared cache and wiped data.
2. I did the same with Street View, and uninstalled both.
3. Made a reboot.
4. Renamed the APK to Maps.apk (don't know why, but did)
5. Allowed unknown sources
6. Installed the APK
Note 2: I have successfully installed the 6.14.1 version (which may be the same as above links), and it worked as well. But NO solution for what I'm looking for.
http://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?t=417690
Bottom note: Then, you'll probably like the latest Google Maps 6.14.3 (offline Navigation Mod)
And, how can I download a map that is not available for downloading anymore?
Again, it used to be and I used to do it...
And many cities in Brazil are still downloadable, but not those that interest me.
Thanks for any input, and most important:
Enjoy!
I got update from g play for my map,before only,which saves the map and can be seen at offline also.
My problem was it created lots of cache on my sdcard..really annoying,so uninstalled.
Try disabling the log files, if that's what you mean : )
