Google Maps To No Longer Need A Connection

A new Android version of Google Maps is going to be released soon, and it will be significantly better than the current version. While the current version of Google Maps and Navigation is very good, it has the limitation of requiring an Internet connection to work because the map display is constantly being downloaded to the phone. If you run into an area that has no Internet connectivity you are not able to use Maps or Navigation.

The new version of Google Maps will use vector graphics that renders the display on the phone.
