Hi All,

Can anyone tell me does Reimers supports caching of Google Maps? If it does, is it available in FREE version? Because, Other controls (like http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/GMapNET.aspx?msg=3015832) have that support. If yes, How to incorporate or enable it?

Hi jjrdk,

Actually we are using Google Maps for moving media in india, where there is a problem of frequent network disconnect. So, what we wanted is, we want to cache the google map or that particular google tile at first instant when network is on, and store it in the local system. So that, when there is a network disconnect we can use that stored map. Is this possible with reimers FREE Version? If yes, please help us.

The functionality you describe is supported directly by the Google Map API, and you don't need to do anything in the control to get this feature. The map tiles are served with cache headers which means they will stay in your browser cache until deleted.

Note that if other controls promise other kinds of caching they may be making you violate the terms of use. Under the terms of use you are not allowed to access the map tiles except through the map API.
