I would like to know if there is a way to make my Android app trigger the download of an offline area in Google Maps app.

    I've checked previous topics in this matter but most of then were quite old and/or talk about a home made solution for cache tiles or something like that. What I want here is to make use, programmatically, of the Google Maps offline capabilites that were introduced into Maps just a few months ago. – Mauricio Reis Apr 25 '16 at 07:34

Yes, there is.

click the menu at the left side of the blank, choose 'offline map', you can choose the scope/granularity of the map.

If you are open to use other map services, I recommend to use HERE map, it can even calculate path without internet connection.

  • The problem is that I have to find a programmatically way to do that on maps. Do this through user interface is not what I need. Btw, thanks for the HERE map idea, as last resource, we will migrate to this map. – Mauricio Reis Apr 25 '16 at 07:03
