Offline satellite maps

Postby LegendLength on Thu Mar 15, 2012 7:01 am

I realize there are issues with licensing but it would be awesome to have satellite maps available offline. There are currently no apps out there that do this and I think it would be popular for soo many users.

After a thorough google searching over the last few months I can find no apps that do this with any amount of reliability (or at all for me). What I did find though was post after post asking for this feature on various forums.

Unfortunately it is against Google's terms to store their map tiles (which is why we use OpenStreetMap tiles for terrain and offline storage)
