9 hidden Google Maps features everyone should know

I love google maps. Am on beta track. I do wish there was middle ground between dynamic download map data on demand vs off line maps down load. In spotty cell service IMHO maps should keep a cache of recent map data vs just tossing it. Todays cell phones have oodles of space. Theres no reason to be memory/space frugal (today). IE I quit maps in no cell service. Re start maps, ask for a near by route it should find the recent data in the cache.
