When I was in Dubai 2 months ago, I relied on
Google Map to guide me from various Metro-stations and main streets to shopping
malls and hotels. This was done in
online mode and sometimes the responses were slow if the connected 3G network
was congested, not to mention the data usage charges.
I just discovered that Google Map offers offline cache though the area is restricted to 10 miles x 10 miles for each
cache map. That would save me a lot of
time and cost next time if I travel in another city. Without delay, I have downloaded cached maps
of Shenzhen, Macau, Zhuhai and Beijing. It would be better to view the offline maps
in a 7-inch Android tablet than a small smartphone . Google is very thoughtful. Thanks.
