With the new Google maps 5 it is possible to offline cache maps of areas you are in often. But, is it possible to cache maps of eg. a new city you are visiting? This should be more interesting, as I probably know where to travel in the areas I usually are in...
Im interested in this too because going over whole country on 500m resolution is a bit pain in the finger.
Or if anyone could tell what kind of format are new maps... maybe we could use existing tools/programs to download and store them on sd.
try the app locus
I tried to download with locus but it downloads in tiles not in vector shape. New google maps are supposed to use vector shape so its usless. And you would have to manually extract all and compile.
So any other program/app which could export data from internet maps into cache files for google maps 5?
I know that old 4.6 brut17 uses andnav and it is possible to download the cache onto your computer first before putting it on your phone.
I won't be switching to maps 5.0 if I can't pre-cache it
This may sound stupid, but couldn't you just open the city you are going to visit a few times before you go to cause the apps to cache it for you?

You could try, but I would like to know if this works and what limits/possibilities this gives.

It works but that's a very inefficient way.
Any updates on this? Would be great if I can cache like 100miles around me on Wi-Fi
I have a very limited data plan
no-one?
Bump, interested too

I would love to know how to do this also. Looks like brut mod 4.6 is the only option for now.
ohhh, I would love this!
looking for answer to this too.
Hello everyone.
As you said, in the new versions of google maps the information stored in the cache (online first) and can return to view offline later. my trick, first at home with wifi, sailed through the area where I will go, and then normally use my gps with maps OFFLINE Since you keep everything above in the cache) (not 3g).
my question is:
As I can keep all the information stored in the cache (cache security copy .. just google maps), so that every time I install a new rom does not have to start over?

Hola a todos.
como ya habeis dicho, en las versiones nuevas de google maps se guarda la informacion en la cache (primero online) y se puede volver a ver offline despues .mi truco: primero en casa con wifi, navego por la zona donde voy a ir, y despues utilizo normalmente mi gps con maps OFFLINE Ya que se guardo todo anteriormente en la cache) (no 3g).
mi pregunta es:
Como puedo guardar toda la informacion almacenada de la cache( copia seguridad cache ..solo google maps), para que cada vez que instalo una rom nueva no tenga que comenzar de nuevo?
Also waiting for some ideas.
Hi, yesterday i installed the CyanogenMod 7.1 for Galaxy Fit, everything was going great, but this mornig i have troubles registering with my 3G provider, if i reboot the phone, it registers, but about 2 minutes later it unregisters, so i had to reboot again, if i try to register manually, doesn't find the network.
I used the w3 euseuandroid dot com guide
edit 1: Sometimes it registers manually, but goes down with intermitence, drops signal about 1 minute later.
edt 2: if i check the "use only 2G networks" works fine, so i have no 3G
if anybody knows how to fix this issue i would be fully gratefull
p.d sorry for my english
-----------------------------------
Hola, ayer instalé el CyanogenMod 7.1 en mi Galay Fit, todo bien, muy bonito, pero desde esta mañana tengo problemas para que se registre en la red de TIGO, si lo reinicio, registra automaticamente, pero al cabo de unos minutos pierde la conexion y toca reiniciarlo de nuevo, al tratar de registrarlo manualmente no encuentra la red.
si alguien sabe algo como arreglar eso, le agradecería mucho
Edit: A veces deja registrar manualmente, pero sige con intermitencia, se cae la señal casi al minuto
Edit 2: si le doy a "solo usar redes 2G" no se cae.. o sea se dañó el 3g =/

Compass is working fine for me. U can try caliberating compass, probably, that will fix your problem.
And the phone really doesnt charge when is turned off. Thats a new issue!

Guys here's the solution for 3g issues with cm7.1...
-Open fitdroid Rom zip with winrar
-browse to /system/etc/apns_conf.xml
-drag the file to your desktop
-now move the file to the root of your SD card
-use root explorer and browse to /system/etc and rename the existing apns_conf.XML file to apns_conf.XML.back
-now move the copied file from the root of your SD card to /system/etc
And your done...3g works like a charm now
Press thanks if this helped.
Regards,
Spike

Thanks everybody for your kind replies,
I will try spike1902's solution, and will post the results
PinG91: thanks a lot i will start to search for it right now
anshulsingh12995: Try Vignette, a great app, it supports zoom too
harshiv: try to wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition before install the CM7.1
Kind Regards,

Edit1: unfortunately spike1902's solution didn't worked =(
Edit 2: I think i cannot use 3G because in latin america we work in 900/2100 frecuencies, and i know in europe /Asia there are different frecuencies and CM 7.1 is based in a "non-latin america" ROM
I just had to go back to stock Gingerbread, 3G working just fine.
This exercise taught me several things, CM 7.1 is based on a European or Asian ROM, and 3G frequencies are different from Latin America, so while there is no CM 7.1 ROM based on Latin America, it is best to keep the stock ROM if you have to use 3g, if not, CM 7.1 is great .

I can not get this to install on my desire hd with the black ice rom. any ideas?
B.East,
For some reason it is not installing in a rom even if you remove / delete the Maps.apk from the \System\app folder.
I therefore unzipped the rom, replaced the maps.apk file with this one and zipped it up again.
Works great now
Will this version be modified for world navigation?
Anyone else having problems with this newest google maps update? It's using the highest % of my battery even though I haven't even opened the app. It also won't allow me to sign out of latitude. When I try to it just force closes. I've just learned my lesson to keep the backup of the previous version of an app!
Does anyone have the most recent version before 6.0?

What do you mean by running out of battery? I mean, if you can post a screenshot of your battery usage graphic or something like to let us check could be great.
I supose you are using stock ICS version isn't it? You should say it too to let us help!
Moreover, you could try to get an app called "Current Widget" from google play, install it, configure it to Log, and then leave your phone on a table with wi-fi connected or good data-connection (to avoid reconnect, no data used) for 2 or 3 hours without touching it, then upload the Log here too, so we can check the usage of your battery while in Standby mode.
If u post all this we can try to help
Thanks button is allways wellcome if we helped!
Aja,
Antes la batería me duraba todo el día con un uso normal.
Ahora casi rezando me llega a medio día.
De todos modos instalaré el widget y tratare de especificar mas
Gracias
I mean, before update battery keept for the all day with a normal use.
Now it only reachs 12 hours
Anyway, i'll try tu install the widget and try to be more specific.
Thanks
Are you using the stock Rom and kernel?

You could try a battery calibration app from the market. Needs root i think but it resets your battery stats.

Hello, i'm Daniel from Argentina and i have a problem.
Recently i installed bmm, i create a system 3 with 2gb for image, 300mb for cache and 500mb for system.
I flash 2 differents roms (pacman and dirty unicorn), and in both of them the phone gets every minute slower and after 5 mins it freezes for 10 seconds and autoshutdown.
Any idea? kernel, overheating, partitions size?
I'm on jb 4.1.1, kernel 3.0.8. Oh, also gapps after being flashed when i go back bmm freezes for seconds and then it close it with forze.
Thanks
Daniel
--------------------------------------
For the ones who know spanish, here it is...
Bueno, eso, hoy instale el boot menu manager, hize un system 3 con 2gb de image, 300mb de cache y 500mb de system.
Instale 2 roms diferentes, y en ambas a los 5 minutos(aprox) despues de usarlas se congelan 10 segs y tengo que sacar la bateria. Y tambien durante esos 5m va creciendo lo lento que va andando, es decir a los 4m es muy lenta y a los 5m pum, se traba.
Tienen idea de que puede ser? Yo creo que debe ser por algo del tamaño de la particion o sobrecalentamiento, pero el tamaño que puse lo lei de un user de xda y el sobrecalentamiento no se porque podria ser.
Puede que tenga que ver con el kernel?
Por cierto, el system 1, es decir el original funciona perfectamente. Y otro dato, luego de flashear los gapps, no vuelve atras y entonces el bmm lo cierra forzozamente
Estoy en jb 4.1.2
Muchas gracias

Try to reflash stock ics first. And also, maybe your battery is dead? You need retest with good battery first.

no, my battery on my stock system works fine.
Do you think that after a factory reset to jb i will be able to run roms? Because both roms run on jb i don't know what is the problem.
As I said you need to test battery life on stock ics. If it still gives that, I tink it might be something with board. Or your phone simple can't run JB rom (because I think it runs more juice than ICS one).

Well IMO your culprit is the 2GB data partition. BMM simply doesn't play well with 2GB partitions.
Make a smaller partition and then flash again.Don't make too small a partition though.Data partition should be atleast 500MB+

boot into your system 1 and see how much free space do you have in your data..
You did follow the proper steps in creating partitions and activating them right??
