You would probably need a specialised map viewer component and download tools - in addition not sure if Google Maps license allows this kind of use.

I think the newest versions of Google Maps on android can cache parts of the map for offline use. But if you dont want to break any usage lisences for the data maybe you should look at https://www.openstreetmap.org instead.

Yep, the Android (and iOS I think) Google map apps do allow caching of map data but it's only for use within the said app.

And yes, openstreetmap may be an alternative if there are enough community to contribute in the areas the OP is interested in.

There is an example of using locally cached OSM tiles with OpenLayers http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Open ... es_Example - not sure if even RPi 2 and recent browsers do run OL well enough...
