| Pre-cached map areas disappear | Leon L | 12/10/11 12:50 PM | I used (or rather tried to use) pre-cached areas from day one as this feature became available.I always pre-cache some maps areas, wait for 100% completion and rename them appropriately. However inevitably, they disappear after some time without any |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | piesforyou | 1/2/12 1:13 PM | I also find my pre-cached areas disappearing. I can't pin-point exactly when they disappear or what triggers them disappearing. All I know is that the maps I have pre-cached are no longer there, and this has happened a few times. Samsung Galaxy S2Vod |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | treebles | 1/2/12 4:23 PM | Pre-cached areas are supposed to be deleted automatically after 30 days according to the original announcement. |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | piesforyou | 1/3/12 2:47 AM | Well, last night when I posted my original reply I made a new precached area, and it isn't there today (less than 24 hours later). so perhaps there are two issues here: - precached areas deleted after 30 days (but from what I can see the app doesn't |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | piesforyou | 1/3/12 2:50 AM | A further development. I just tried to make a new precached area and when the black square was drawn, the original black square from last night re-appeared. So it seems it might just be that the black square is not displayed, making it look like the |

| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | piesforyou | 1/3/12 4:39 AM | Did you even bother to read what I wrote?

| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | stevenroose | 1/3/12 4:54 AM | I have to agree that I don't read the initial announcements of every feature in every app I use either. |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | teresaw | 1/3/12 2:22 PM | Hi everyone -- Just to confirm, when you say the pre-cached tiles are missing, they are not listed under Menu --> Settings --> Cache Settings --> Pre-cached map areas? If your precached tiles are still missing, here are a couple things you can check: |

| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | logdp | 1/29/12 4:11 PM | I was just about to start a new issue, when I found this thread. I have the same problem here: It all works well at first, but the pre-loaded maps keep disappearing from the list over night or after a couple of days. Sometimes even on the same day. |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | Federoy | 2/28/12 5:17 PM | This happened to me some days ago. I believe it was happening after rebooting, or after changing from airplane mode o normal mode. Try this: 1. With airplane mode OFF (that means, receiving some signal), pre-cache a new area (any area that has not be |

| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | piesforyou | 2/29/12 10:27 AM | I just wanted to point out that other apps do map caching much better that gmaps. I use maps (-). You can cache as much area as you like, just zoom to the view of the area you want to cache, and then cache down to a certain level of detail. For examp |
| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | misbehave | 3/3/12 6:29 PM | I am having the same problem on my HTC Desire z. The pre-cache map areas will disappear instantly when I quit the Google map screen and go back to my home screen. The is a very annoying problem. Google please help fix this problem. |

| Re: Pre-cached map areas disappear | Breach | 3/12/12 12:38 AM | Same problem here, Android 2.3.7. However it seems the files are stil being used - if I disable all network connections I can still load them within the precached areas? Anyway, that's something which must be fixed. |
