Just a note, google maps now has an offline mode, so you can put your phone in airplane mode and the program doesn't constantly hammer your battery reloading the maps. Why it doesn't do something like that by default when you use it to navigate is beyond me.
Presumably it’s downloading and caching some local maps ?, and doing so automatically ?, which makes me wonder how big a region, does it keep data like restaurants, etc.... when does it dump the cache ?, how much memory used ?.
