I would advise against such actions(caching the map somehow and displaying it) since it is forbidden by Google terms of use.

There isnt an offline version of Google maps for android(or i am not aware of it, since i couldnt find it when needed a year ago)...the solution is to go with different map api if you really require this.

Are you doing some extensive calculations for your map marker or database work, etc..?

For example i didnt experience slow loading times with google maps when using regular data service internet and loading around 350 map markers on predefined positions...
