Google Maps Mobile without internet?

[Sage]

Hey guys,

Just been trying to work this out.. I downloaded the app and using activesync internet managed to browse around without any issues..

During this time i am watching my phone through Explorer on my PC trying to see where the data is going. I browsed up 3MB of maps yet couldnt see where it was going..

i was thinking if i could find where the files were going maybe i could move them elsewhere or restrict google maps access in removing them at the end..

there is also this write up which could help..

Surely if anyone can work this out it has to be the guys here :)

update:

Seems all its cache sits here:

\Application Data\GoogleMaps

Though appears to be limited to 2MB.. Which is no fun.. So seems if we can remove the 2mb limit on the cache we might be in business :)

Would be cool, if it works! Unfortunately I think, I can't help bc I'm not good at this development stuff...

I tried digging through the registry a little bit and didn't see any settings for Google Maps there, I also didn't see any sort of ini file in the program folder itself. Unfortunately those are about the only ideas I have for this, though I would love to see a much larger cache pan out.

settings for google maps also in \Application Data\GoogleMaps\ but they are decrypted

I'd also like to have more cache...

I don't know why Google doesn't let us put the cache on the Storage Card by default.

It would be amazing...

:( :( :( :(

maybe some editing of the exe will allow it to look for the cache in storage card, and possible removing the cache size limit

It does almost the same thing, and with a few modifications would be perfect. Part of the code is open source I believe, check jason fuller's blog on msdn if you want.
