| 1344675 | 2013-06-04 07:00:00 | I have just been looking at offline maps for my Android handset. Are there any of you guys who cache/download satellite images? I find that maybe specific interest they are of use but for general travelling they take up a lot of disk space and needs to cache/download diff segments. I find that it wasn't something that I could just download the entire country before I set off but something I had to do every day or so and knowing where I would be that day. The downloading was quite slow too cos it was gathering tens of thousands of map tiles. Might prefer a standard 2D street map. But by all means if I had access to a local simcard Google Maps would be the best :D |

| 1344676 | 2013-06-04 07:49:00 | Yes I do. I use Sygic GPS on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone. The app and the corresponding map data are stored on the microSD card, so storage is not a problem. The map of New Zealand is about 50MB from memory. |

But they do use multi level of tiles when you zoom in and out . Yes I do . I use Sygic GPS on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone . The app and the corresponding map data are stored on the microSD card, so storage is not a problem . The map of New Zealand is about 50MB from memory . |
