Simple app that lets you see what locations have been cached on your android device.
You can take a look at them in a list (text) and on map.
Root is required to read and delete the location cache!
Block Cache will change permissions on the file so the LocationProvider can't write the files back to disk.
Changelog
v0.2
- blocking (chattr)
- delete files
v0.3
- blocking for all devices with busybox installed
- fix for "no data"
v0.4
- gpx export
- fix force close on map
v0.5
- fix for another FC
v0.6

- clean ups and bugfixes
FAQ
Can I block the cache without root?
Yes, disable "Use wireless networks" under "Location & Security settings"
But you have to live with a slower location lock on maps.
Showing Map does not work (Force close)?
You should update your ROM/GApps
Your device has a buggy Google Maps Library installed
