does the app clear its cache while it exits if we dont choose to save for offline use ? if so, where does it store this temporary data ? is it in the same folder(on sd card) where the maps are saved when we choose to ?
WTF is Bigplanet? I could just look it up, but I've been drinking...sooo....just tell me.
Bigplanet is an advanced map application:
supports different map sources: Google Maps, OpenStreet, Yandex Maps
cache of loaded maps - map tile is loaded only once and than saves in local file cache(so you can use app even without any network connection!). This feature allows you to save a lot of money(app don’t use expensive gprs connection).
bookmarks - just add you favourite places to bookmarks if you don’t want to find it each time when you use app
zoom in by double tap(like in iphone): You don’t need to use zoom controls from zooming - you can just double tap place you need.
save map in given radius. Allows to save map around selected place. For example, you can save map around your home using cheap wifi connection and then use map offline.

I never had any luck with Bigplanet. It errored out when downloading maps to sd card. The maps I did get downloaded were not consistant on the zooming. Also when I tried to get my location the GPS would come on for a few seconds and then go off. I wanted it to track me.
Will the app do those things now?
nah....same here
I dont have a data plan for my phone, i use my wifi, but it seems i need a data connection to use google navigation so it can download the maps, is there a way to pre-load or have saved maps in the sd card to point the nav to if no data connection is not present and all i have available is the gps signal
not with google maps
is there a way to do this with another app?

Maps mod Bruts, but don't drive any other way!
Better take copilot or sygic.

Better take copilot or sygic (I find them the best, most options).
Hi
Recently Google maps was updated for my phone and now there is a Map caching function for offline use.
I was wondering if there was somewhere i could just download all the map stuff into my phone for offline use.

Here you go have this application installed called Brut maps it resides between your current google maps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
I have the WiFi only Tab 2 7inch.
I cached some Google Maps around my town. I can locate myself with GPS by loading the maps, but I can't use navigation. Is that correct? I thought the point of being able to cache maps was to be able to navigate without a data connection?
It's normal. Maps requires a connection to calculate the routes. If you want to, you can set up the route when you have wi-fi access and the route (and adjacent roads) will be cached automatically. Then you can navigate offline.
Otherwise, you need internet access.
Hi there,
I have the unlocked European S10 with the latest firmware and app updates. No root and no google account installed.
I have the following issue.
I normally keep location off.
So when I fire google maps it asks to enable location which fine but it never finds a location. If I use anothe app e.g. mapsme the location is found instantly. When I go back and kill and start google maps again the location is found. Some other apps never find any location.
I have removed cache of all apps from bootloader and cleared app data from Google maps and Google play services but issue is still there. I tried also safe mode but no luck.
Any ideas what is going wrong? Factory reset is not really an option..

have you tapped the circle with the question mark?
