GE cache size is not very big - for offline use.

Is it possible to save the current cache (renaming
it something appropriate). Then building up a series
of (perhaps geographic area) caches using the same procedure?

The saved caches would have to be renamed back again
I suppose, before they could be used as the current cache.

Has anyone tried this? Any ideas?

I think it's possible but too circuitous.

Yes, You have the technique nailed. It works.

I've paid for GEPro and moviemaker ... My biggest problem is the $%$%#@! default size of 512 MB ... it is not big enough for even a small tour ... thus everything I try to make into a tour is hostage to the download stream and thge result is pretty mediocre.

I haven't tried it yet. I thought renaming caches might work.
Just a matter of putting downloads into useful groups, like countries,states,
continents or towns etc.

Would be easier if Google would make the cache size extendable though.
Just getting us back on line to look at advertising isn't the way to go.

With layers switched off, we don't need to view ads unless we want to.

I'd like to be able to edit the layers to suit my own purpose too.

what you say is true too!
but what about a bigger cache!
or a method to save caches.
what's the policy?
If we're happy offline, we're not using bandwidth
or spending money.

You're probably right!
If you've got cheap, fast broadband, there's not much point in big cache size.
I'm not sure if it loads quicker when offline, but its worth me checking.
Thanks....

What would really be useful is for one to be able to specify a common location for a cache file that multiple users could reference...for example, in a corporate LAN, a common cache on a local server. Some corporates charge for bandwidth used. I've tried using a network location but the program isn't multi-user enabled w.r.t. cache data.
