hi Does anyone know of a way to make use of Google Maps to offline mode??

I wrote a program that will connect to a GPS location by the browser will show up on Google's online maps. Now I plan to take it offline for two reasons:

1 - no Internet connectivity
2 - Using a special city map

To work offline you'd need google's entire code and data running locally. That's like asking "How can I watch Netflix offline?"

If working off line is important you can use an image of a map (would probably have to use base64 encoding in the page source so it works off-line) and plot your points on that via custom code (so you'll know how many pixels each distance re[presents).

You can download the maps using various tools out there...

I've made a quick google search and I've found several of them:
