How to implement offline google maps in Android?

In my Android app I have used the google maps in which I used to show some locations with markers in the map. But even when there is no Internet connection also I want to show these locations in the maps. Generally when there is no data connections google maps wont be loaded right, how can I show locations in the maps in this scenario? Note: I am using Satellite view in my maps

I am quite sure you can't. The docs say that Google Maps doesn't provide download content and store it for a "long time". It is just allowed to cache some location information to provide a better user experience.

Google says:

(c) No Mass Downloads or Bulk Feeds of Content. You must not use the Service in a manner that gives you or any other person access to mass downloads or bulk feeds of any Content, including but not limited to numerical latitude or longitude coordinates, imagery, visible map data, or places data (including business listings). For example, you are not permitted to offer a batch geocoding service that uses Content contained in the Maps API(s).

Google Maps/Google Earth APIs Terms of Service

But maybe you can provide a screen-shot functionality?
