Thanks for sharing @Bambino The map storage on SD cards could definitely come in handy!

Good find It's always good to have a back up in case the Google goes down. Have you tried these maps out on the move @MI5?

Yes, I use Here in preference to Google. I find it better and it also syncs across devices too.
