Hi,

I want to create a map viewer.

In this map viewer I want to create a large map with tiled images from Google maps in offline mode. The size of the final image is more than 300mb. I want to load and create images of where the user is in the map and search the map like Google maps on the web.

How do i this?

thanks

If you want full control use Google Maps API using Flash[^], once you get the data using this control, store it on your custom database and use it.

For a quick ready-made control GMap.NET - Great Maps for Windows Forms and Presentation[^] - This supports offline mode also

but in both the case you want to check the Google License for using Google Map API, it's not free unless your software/service is also completely free. you cannot use it for commercial purpose.

or consider using Open Street Map, it's free.
