Re: [android-developers] Re: How can I cache Google Maps tiles using Android SDK?

Hi Thanks For Update

We Can Implement Feature Like "Cache Google Map Tile" which is in Google Maps.

I want to see google map in offline mode, means i want to get Map from Cache Map Tile when GPRS or Wifi is not there.

So can i save this google map tile to cache and use in future.??

Please Suggest me the way so if possible than i will proceed for next.

Thanks

No it is not a good way.  As I said in my original response Google Map
Tile information is copyright .  It is possible to request the tiles
directly from their tile servers but I wouldn't recommend it and I
wouldn't tell anyone how to do it.  If they catch you trying to do it
I would at least expect them to stop your access and they could
possibly even pull your app from the market on the grounds of
copyright infringement.

As the other poster says, there are other open sourced options to get
map data.
