google map cache for offline use

Question

Intro

i have my android app which gets you places address and other info when clicked on a point . and also it can create routing between two points.

Problem

the problem is that it only works online . so lets take a case when the user is offline and he want routing then the app is useless.

Requirement

i want my app to cache the map of the area the user is currently in and use this as backup when required.

You just need to create your own tileprovider and access tiles locally. This SO question might help.

Here is the [sample app](https://github.com/mapsme/api-android/tree/master/sample-app-capitals). It shows one or more points on offline map – abielita Feb 16 '16 at 01:34
