google maps mobile - save map tiles locally?

Asked by Frosty555 in Windows MobileProgramming, Handheld and PDA Programming, Windows Mobile (Pocket PC / Win CE) Operating Systems

I use google maps mobile on my phone (Rogers branded Treo 750 running WM6) to view maps. All is working nicely, except that it eats through my data plan pretty fast. I've only got 5mb / month to share between my email, web browsing, and viewing maps.

I used to use a tool called MGMaps, which had the ability to let me save the map tiles locally on an SD card before hand, so that it could look it up from there instead of going on the internet. Internet was used only for routing / searching for locations.

Does google maps mobile have something similar to that? I know that map tiles are cached - so maybe a way to pre-populate the google maps mobile cache?
