Help Problem caching Google maps

[Sidoko]

I've several times successfully cached my local Google map area (London), but when I return to the maps function the cache has been cleared.

Anything to do with the fact that I live in London? Or any other ideas, please?

Are you by any chance running Cache Cleaner NG?? Daily??

You can exclude whichever App you want, like Maps...so cache does not get cleared.

or perhaps any other app which clears cache, like SD Maid

Thanks for that. No, I've got no cache clearner installed. ;-(

Actually, I may have solved the issue. The W loses its cached maps if you reboot it. Any way round this? Surely it should be possible to save them.

Have you found a solution? I have the same problem... :/

It's very frustrating and I haven't found a proper solution.

Instead I downloaded a free app called Navfree which is basically a satnav app (that has a walking mode), and allows you to download the map for an entire area free over wifi. So I've downloaded the map for my country and use it whereever I go for driving or walking. The app isn't perfect yet but it's a decent enough workaround for me. Depends whether it suits your particular use or not.

Thanks for the tip about Navfree. Unfortunately the map for the UK and Ireland is 364Mb -- more memory than I have spare. Perhaps I could have removed some apps to make room, and then copied the Navfree file to the SD, but the Google glitch isn't THAT bad!

Thanks again for your help.
