Can I use My Maps offline?
 

I found that My Maps feature many useful tools beyond simply giving directions and finding businesses nearby. I now use it to map most of my day-trips (by car) in Europe.
Anyone knows a way to save My Maps onto a local drive so that I can use it without internet hook-up? Have not tried to email it to myself yet. Wonder if that works.

Answer my own question
 

Tried self email. Basically it sends a link of the subject map. Still need to go online to get map.Just can't seem to have a way to see map off line. Any ideas?

You can also give 1-800-GOOG-411 a ring and with IVR you tell it city and state, what you're looking for, near what, and then it gives you results and will even connect you.
