Is it possible to use Google Maps disconnected from the Internet?

I have been tasked with building an offline web application that will display maps and also display locations and routes of objects. The requirements are that it run in a web browser, but it will run on a disconnected laptop. It will be receiving continuous, real-time map coordinates data and continuously updating the location of objects and also display historical route data. Is it possible to somehow use Google Maps for this? I know that Google recently announced support for offline maps - but I got the feeling that was specifically for the Android OS and also specifically for mobile devices. If not, Google Maps - does anyone have any suggestions for which mapping technology, API or software would be best for this type of application?

No. This is not possible. You have to load the maps dynamically from the web and you are not allowed to cache information (*you can cache a small amount of information temporarily, but you cannot do bulk or mass downloads).

See Section 10.1.3 of the terms of service:
