Is it possible to use the maps without an internet connection, that is, with Google offline maps?

if the maps function works or can work with previously saved maps(No internet connection)

It is possible to use the maps without an internet connection when you use the Maps control and OpenStreetMap tiles. After building an app using Maps the app caches the tiles previously visited while on line. When offline, you can see previously visited tiles on a device that has previously visited the map tile. If you haven't visited before you will see a gray grid pattern where the app cannot find the required tile..

Can you use Google offline maps with App Inventor? I don't think offline Google map tiles can be used. You can capture a Google Map and plot it to a Canvas AI2 Flat Map Tutorial . This isn't very precise but what you might want to do. .

is it possible to use icons for a marker, but it seems that it is represented in the position of the bottom left corner or centered botton and not in its centered position in the icon.

• With regards to Map control : Marker1.ImageAsset specifies the image shown for the Marker. If set to the empty string “”, then the default marker icon will be used.

I think you can in a limited way use

. Top,Center,Bottom and Left,Center,Right positions are possible.

• with regards to the Google Maps Static Maps api. Get Started  |  Maps Static API  |  Google for Developers ; look at the section called Custom icon examples
