Workaround for More than 6 Offline Maps?

[Azma]

Hello there! Since mobile data costs a fortune, I wanted to save maps of my city, and those where I go relatively often, in Google maps for offline use. But at some point, reaching 6 maps, it tells me I've reached the limit. I check my SD card: plenty of space, still.

After a little bit of search, I found that no matter the size of the maps, you cannot download more than 6 individual maps. Thing is, I had saved, in 4 smaller maps (and anyway something that large wouldn't fit in one map - besides, I don't need the woods around it), a large portion of a long road and its tiny surroundings, to make sure I could use the GPS guiding feature when I'm there, and it wouldn't get confused because a large part of the road is missing, even though it's pretty straightforward.

But still, I'm here, stuck: I've only saved my city, its surroundings, and the road. I can't do any more. I still need at the very least 5 more maps. I really don't know what to do now. It sounds pretty stupid to me to limit the number of maps to an arbitrary number like that...

I know there are "offline map" apps from before Google Maps allowed us to download maps, but those aren't Google maps, are they? I really like how it works. ._.

So here: Is there a workaround for saving more maps? (No roots please~ my phone's warranty is important.)

The limit of each map of this six maps is about 80MB.

Maybe so you can cover your wanted area.

You'd have to buy a Navigation app that supports offline maps, like Sygic.

Ehm, nope. My city alone is 60 MB, and the road doesn't fit in less than 2 maps with effort. Really, it's impossible to fit it.

Also, is it just me who thinksit's really stupid to allow offline maps but limit them so outrageously? ._.

... and there is another annoying thing:
Have a cloose look at your city's map online, and then offline without a data connection.
I think, in the offline map you won't find the name of small streets anymore.

I tried that with big cities.

Mhm, I'll look at it.

But anyway, if anyone knows of a hack or whatever to deal with the limit, I'd be happy to hear it!
