Google Maps-how to keep maps on phone

[tedsandy]

Is there a way to cache google maps of say London on my P3300, so that when I'm outside away from my wifi connection (I have no data connection) I can turn on google maps and use my GPS to navigate the streets of London.

It would be so great if you could download maps for google maps, turning it into a competitor for TomTom.

If you're reading this and didn't know, now google maps let's you use your GPS device (built in for us using Artemis) to locate yourself on the google map. Before it could only use cell phone tower info to provide an estimate of where you are. So now it really can be used for accurate navigation directions, if I can cache the maps on my phone.

Anyone know a work around?

There is software for this. Google Navigator. Did you see it?
Take a look here: http://www.pdafun.net/features.htm

In feautures they say:

Map is transferred via network and save permanently until you want to delete it.

Is this what you 're looking for?

But it 's not free. :(
