I like to take road trips out side the city...

On thing I find is that once you get out of the 3G capable area the my IPhone's Google Map slows to a crawl...

It can't get to the maps fast enough or not at all so it becomes worthless...

Then I found Maps Enhancer 1.3... Cydia Source: http://cydia.myrepospace.com/apps0rama/

This add a setting that stops the phone from dumping the map cache...

Just remember that you must open up maps (Zoom In) and go to the places you want to visit before you leave the 3G area - view your road trip and let the phone download the maps - then when you actually go on your trip the maps will be on your phone and not need to access the internet

This is a Cydia app? Cost?

I bought Cartographer which was supposed to do the same thing and came highly recommended. Then I tried to use it and I couldn't figure out how to plan a trip on it, so I gave up. $3,99 wasted. What a piece of garbage. Very pretty though (maps look like a pirate treasure map). But functionality severely lacking.

I am sure there are others in the app store through? The feature of course is extremely useful...

This app (it's not really an app but an additional setting) is simple will stop Google Maps from automatically dumping the cache when you quit the app.

You just have to remember to view the map at least once before you leave a 3G area (like the night before a trip)
