I know that CamerAlert downloads the maps as you go. But does it cache the maps for the area you are in and use that data again when you return to the area or does it download again.

If it does download again would it be possible to program the app to cache the maps to the phone card.

Just a thought Laughing

Some level of caching (cacheing?) is happening inside the Google Maps API. We have no control over that, and we cannot influence the location of that cache (i believe it eats away from main memory).

If you are doing only short journeys and keep the zoom level constant then that cache will be sufficient. You can test it by disabling the data connection on your phone and then use CA in map mode. Some tiles will show for a while.
