Google Map Integration and downloading in AEM

Hi 

Offline:- Caching google maps javascript is not allowed, that's because their payment system is based on how many times their javascript API are loaded by the users. One page refresh is equal to one google maps API call, and depending what kind of contract you made you just lost -1 from the total amount of API requests you have purchased. Google doesn't offer an offline version of the Maps API as is. Maps JavaScript API requires an Internet connection to download all the geospatial information it needs to properly display the map. This information cannot be stored and/or served offline.

Solution to your problem are

1. Gmapcatcher :- https://code.google.com/p/gmapcatcher/

//GMapCatcher is an offline maps viewer. It can display maps from many providers such as: CloudMade, OpenStreetMap, Yahoo Maps, Bing Maps, Nokia Maps, SkyVector but not the Google Map

2. http://code.google.com/p/ogmaps/

3. http://code.google.com/p/gmapoffline/

4. Lastly, if Google Earth can meet your needs, then you can use that. Offline usage of Google Earth requires a Google Earth Enterprise license according to http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html.

It might not be what you need. It is possible to display the map as a static image on the page. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/
