This is a JIggy App for Browsing and Routing Offline in Maps.app. This is a simple 18kb native app which allows one to browse routes and locations offline. nambrot has created this – click here for more

With Maps Offline, you can store your Cache and use it when theres no Wifi to use.

How To Use:
Cache:
MapTiles.sqlitedb is the primary Cache of Maps.app. With “Save Your MapTiles.sqlitedb” you can Save it as the names says. Below there is the List with all your saved Caches. This is also the Directory to save the Files of MapThis!.
/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/MapTiles/
Just Tap on the Row and you have restored you saved Maps.
Saving and Restoring big Files could take a while. 200 MB up to half minute. So dont get crazy.
If you want to delete some Maps, just use the slieder to Tap to Delete.
Routes:
Its the Same Method, just uses another Directory, and you cant delete Route.plist, so at the beginnning you wont see any saved Routes.

How to install?
Open installer.app and hit Utilities tab – install Maps Offline

I feel exactly the same as mr.pissed. Geeks talking to geeks. Useless for a common dumb iPhone user like me. I don’t even know how to noodle around in iPhone directories nor find any file names, extensions etc…. Do I need to get a degree in software first?
Cheers

can some1 tell me how the beep** i get this to work? I haven’t found any good website showing step by step how to get this work. From how to install then to make it work. It seems you all jump all over the places.”Please put the map directory into /var/mobile/media/maps the map folder should include the following files: maptiles.sqlitedb and com.apple.maps.plist. Use GMDL software to extract maps on your computer” just kill me if i understand what it mean.
