Retain terrain and satelite info while out of cell contact #258

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
I use MyTracks while out of contact with any cell towers.
I'd like to be able to see my position with terrain or satelite overlay while 
out of contact.

Basically, I'm looking for MyTracks to be my outdoors/back-country/hiking GPS 
app. I'd like to be able to download maps before I leave the cell and use the 
most recent info to be able to track myself in the woods. I can imagine surfing 
over my expected region of activity and then MyTrack would remember some amount 
of recent maps (20MB, configurable) so I can look at them while I'm out of 
contact.

Save a configurable amount of mapping/terrain/visual/satelite information to be 
used while creating tracks.

I am a developer, but only C/C++ real-time embedded stuff. I don't know jack 
about the guts of Android apps.

That's not feasible via the Google Maps API, and afaik the maps api EULA 
forbids it, so we can't.
