Does the google maps sdk for iOS allow caching for offline use?


Does the google maps sdk for iOS allow caching for offline use?
Just like the Google Maps app now allow offline interaction, I was thinking if it also aplied to apps created with the latest sdk.

Note: I've been around StackOverflow for sometime now that I know questions must be code related, but since the official page's discussion section forward me here with the tag [google-maps-sdk-ios], well.. here I am and I apologize if it shouldn't be this way.

Thank you.


Solution

  • No, as of SDK 1.8.1, there is no direct support for this for Google Maps.

    It is however possible to use a custom tile overlay, which could load tiles from a downloaded cache. It's against the SDK T&C to download Google Map tiles, but you could provide your own tiles from another provider, e.g. OpenStreetMap.
