-===== Static maps ===== 
-{{anchor:static_maps:}}

-This function can be activated in the [[.mainmenu:settings#offline_data|settings]] for the cache coordinates and/or for its waypoints and will download Google maps images of the area around each saved cache both as street map and satellite view (a total of 5 images). It is a helpful feature if you plan to go caching without internet access (and maybe even without an offline map). 
- 
-Also a basic street map will be shown at the bottom of the [[cachedetails|cache details]] page, the remaining maps are accessible by selecting Static Maps in the cache [[navigation|Navigation menu]]. 
- 
-<WRAP center round important 100%> 
-Please note, that there is a limit by Google of 1000 static maps per 24h per user(IP). Having a rather huge list of stored caches or even only some caches with many waypoints, you may easily reach this limit (as 5 images per cache and each cache waypoint are loaded). In this case some static maps might be missing.

-The following shows an example of static maps for a cache. You can click the images to see a larger version:
