Google Maps Gets Offline Search and Navigation - by Andrew Tarantola/ engadget.com
"Google Maps is a ridiculously useful app but that's assuming you've got a stable internet connection. As soon as your signal gets a little wonky, however, you might as well still be printing them out like you did in the dark ages of MapQuest. Sure, you've been able to download small maps for offline access for some time now, but the experience has never been that great. That's all about to change because Google announced Tuesday that its briefly teased major revamp for offline Maps is ready for primetime.
Downloading maps is far simpler than the old convoluted process. You either search by city, state, zip or select a point on the map, then click "Download."..."
