Any Mac app that can download and join 'Google Maps' tiles?

ThE.MeSsEnGeR · Nov 15, 2009, 04:59 PM

The title says it all...

it's just because I'm not always in a wifi zone with my laptop and I use GoogleMaps a LOT! so, is there any app that can do that? Or better yet is there any way that I can get ALL google maps tiles in one big archive? I know it sounds far-fetched but a person can dream right?

Thanks in advance for all the help!

So, I was gonna say no idea, but googling "offline google maps" brought me to this handy little thing:

Addendum: I don't know how to get it to work for me. I think all you need to do is double click on maps.py and it'll work, but I'm missing something.

Well, thank you so much for your replies!!

Do you have any idea if there's a way to lift the 2GB limit for the Cache??
