      We recently moved from the states to Germany. While in the states, I was usinig my Xoom as my GPS. I would tether it to my iphone and off I would go. Now in Germany, my wireless phone does not have that capability and my Xoom is strictly wifi. We are planning on taking a trip in the near future, approx 250 miles. Does anyone know if it is possible to hhave google maps cache a map that size on the Xoom? Internal memory space is not an issue, but is google mpas on the Xoom capable of that? Stand-alone GPS systems here cost almost twice as much as they do in the states, and shipping one bought in the US will take too long. I have wifi at home, so I wanted to map my route, and cache close to 250 miles if maps on the Xoom. Unfortunately, being new to Germany, I really need the maps. Anyone know if Google Maps has that capability?

    Have you looked at CoPilot or Navigon or Sygic? These are all GPS Navigation systems that work on the XOOM and are a lot cheaper than a GPS Device.

    I am sure it does. It cached trips to Las Vegas from San Diego for me. I was going to suggest CoPilot but they really rip you off for the European maps. North America is pretty cheap. Maybe you could look into getting CoPilot North America and then adding the maps you need. Goggle CoPilot Maps and there are some sites that have maps for free.
    Adios XOOM it has been, well an experience

    When i do cache Google maps the maps are there off line but its still not possible to use the navigation right?
    Maybe I'm doing it wrong but when i try it it never works. I can tell the area is cached but the turn by turn still won't work off line.

    I am going to have to try out maps today during a short drive. I don't know whether nav works offline or not. Only one way to find out I guess. I just hope I am able to cache enough map to go 250 miles or so.
