Google to offer offline maps in Android

engadget_google_maps_offline

If you’re planning on traveling abroad without a mobile data connection, or if you just don’t want to eat up your current one with map downloads, then Android users who use the stock Maps application, will be able to download full maps for offline use. Full details are currently limited, but it will be available “soon.” This is also good for those who don’t want to pay up for a third-party map/navigation application, such as NAVIGON.

It’s also rumored that Apple might be offering something similar with iOS 6, which will be announced on Monday at WWDC.
