Google Maps 2.0 allows saving the viewed areas in the cache

  Google Maps 2.0 was launched by Google during the last night, and inside it there is a function that many users ask for, including for the application iOS 6 Maps. I'm talking about possibility to save in cache (offline) parts of the maps that we view and to access them again when we do not have an active Internet connection. Writing the phrase in the address search box ok maps, you will save in the cache what the application displays Google Maps in the main screen, and without an Internet connection you will be able to access that portion of the map.

  The system works for whatever you want, you should also be able to make routes based on cache saves, but you will not be able to view traffic information unless you have an active internet connection. The same functionality was initially available in Android OS, now Google is trying to offer it in iOS, but it remains to be seen if it will be included as a separate function in the application, or it will remain only at the current stage. The portions of maps saved through this system do not seem to take up much space, so you can rest easy.
