How to download maps for offline use of navigation through Google Maps - video tutorial

Hi friends, today I will teach you to use Google Maps Navigation function without connection to the internet, until recently it was almost impossible.
Google Maps with Navigation function is a free alternative to GPS navigation, yet the problem was related to permanent net connection as required to run Google Maps 3G connection, EDGE or GPRS permanent, unfortunately not everyone has the phone such connection instead believe that everyone has net home.
From now on, with the help of a new function introduced by Labs we can download the maps of the route we will travel, we just have to select a point on the map and with the help of the menu to download the map for that area, all maps will be downloaded within 16 km, after that we move on to the next area until we make up the whole route. The only problem is that we can only download 10 zones, for example for a route from Bucharest to Constanta it is enough, if we want to go further… .., Google will probably increase the maximum number of downloaded zones or at least increase the radius area coverage.
This "gift" from Google comes shortly after the official activation of Navigation for Romania, until recently in Romania you could navigate through Google Maps only with the help of modified Google Maps versions.
tips:
1.Nu need to enable satellite view, the maps will only download map, no layers.
2.Functia download maps is only available with version 5.7.0 or over.
3.Daca not find Google Maps in the market, Use Market Enabler, just like in the tutorial.
4.Daca not have voice guidance in Romanian language, Romanian language enabled for the entire phone and the problem is solved.
5.Pentru a more pleasant experience install Street View, if you do not find in Market you can use Market Enabler to spoof country and provider, exactly as in the tutorial.
Enjoyable vacation.

      Follow the tutorial carefully, the "download map" function is not activated by default, you must activate it from the labs.

      I checked and I am now on a wildfire and is not really available option, otherwise no cache is not available.
      It certainly has to do with resolution / processor and / or operating system, I made the gingerbread tutorial 2.3.4.
      Hopefully that will work, however the function is plugged just a few days.
      Patience and tobacco juice

      It's too weak, you'll be sorry, pointing to Android phones with a minimum resolution of 480 × 320.
      The screen resolution or 320 240 400 × × 240 only one to have problems with applications, a lot of sites in the market app will not run on low resolution.
      Not to mention the keyboard, touch keyboard needs a big screen to be used comfortably.

    Excuse me I'm your bag too, but I have a Wildfire, which I managed to root with Unrevoked 3.14 only ez, and now I ClockworkMod v.4.0.0.5 obviously SetCpu 2.10 and I have installed a ROM named The JokerDroid 4.2 Edition.
    I managed according tutorial to install Market Enabler to copy maps and charts. All the trouble is the screen that is too small to Wildfire, otherwise, everything works fine.

    I have a samsung galaxy 550 (i5500) and I am very proud of it. It has a resolution of 320 × 240 but at scratch it is ok. I run a lot of apps on it. It is very resistant. more attractive design

      If you're on wireless net is you want. You buy a nice wireless router, wireless activity on your smartphone and you net mocha like how your muscles. If you leave your home, leave your smartphone wireless enabled and you're all kinds of mocha hotspots at various stores, mall, McDonald's, hospitals, pharmacies, restaurants and so on.
      I personally use My Smartphone offer those at Orange. Dau 8 per month and I 500 MB traffic and access to some mobile sites of interest (facebook, messenger, yahoo mail, hotmail, truth, thinking, hi5, and more) Not to say that you 30 of free internet days each year to test the internet for free from Orange at a speed of up to 3,6 Mbps
      In the city of Orange coverage and very good speed on GPRS or EDGE cial not to say that buzzing on 3G or H.

    What about NAVTEQ Map24?
    possibly a tutorial
    thank you

  20. This is a good thing with "cache" on maps, only it is at the beginning and I hope to modernize it, because if you have a route of 1400 km as I had it and I tried to "cache" it… you it takes about two days and you get hurt. This thing is good for example to save your city map, otherwise I hope it will appear soon as a "cache track" option I think would be much more useful…

  21. I have a nokia e7, google maps 5.7.0 can install it. Where can I download it, that I link

  22. Hello Cristi,
    I tried to go through the entire tutorial steps but without success. By the time the market enabler want to "fake" the provider have a negative result. I say "Houston we have a problem."
    I did have a HTC Desire S coded Orange and Google Maps pre-installed version is 5.2.1.
    Is it because it is not at the root. I would not want to lose the warranty on the phone yet.
    There are other solutions (installation via PC, etc)?
    Regards,
    Stefan
