12. Map Downloads
Define an area of the map along with a range of zoom levels to pre-load onto your iPad
for offline access. Once downloaded, these tiles will be saved in MotionX-GPS HD
permanently unless you choose to delete them. Map tile sets are not included in iTunes
backups unless you configure to do so in Setup > Maps.
Go to Setup > Map Downloads to access the map download interface.

Downloaded
maps are defined by an area along with a range of zoom levels to download, for use
when a network connection is unavailable. Once downloaded, map tile sets are saved
in MotionX-GPS HD unless you manually delete them.

Map caching and map downloading are two similar but distinct features. Both improve
map performance and enable offline map viewing.
Map caching
automatically saves
tiles viewed on the Maps page as you scroll and zoom. The cache limit is 1024 MB;
beyond this limit the oldest cached tiles are overwritten as new tiles are cached.

Cached and downloaded maps are not included in iTunes backups unless you
choose to do so; cached maps may be cleared via Setup>Maps. Installing iOS updates
will delete your cached and downloaded maps unless you enable backups in
Setup>Maps and create a backup prior to installing the iOS update.
