I <3 iPhone’s map cache

Google Maps

I find Safari’s cache not-so-hot.

I press the back button and it insists on reloading the majority of the page I was on just moments ago.

But the Google Maps cache! Now there’s a cache you can hang your hat on!

When I’m at home on wifi, I can cruise all over town, downloading maps and satelite images from all sorts of exotic locations, then head out into the field and pull up those same maps without having to reload a thing over slow old EDGE! Lovely!

It’s great if you’re heading to meet friends and want some ‘pre-loaded sexy’ to show them on the run!

Though, lately, I’ve been finding myself religiously directing the Maps app to the house of whoever I’m about to meet up with, just in case the opportunity comes up…

Hmm. Maybe there could be some hack that can load all detail levels of all maps from a specified area onto the phone’s cache…

Or I could just stop being a freak. Either way!
