There is function in the new Google Maps Android app to make an area of the map available for offline viewing, is there a way to have applications in android be able to do this? or to cache part the map in the SDCard?

v2 of google maps caches tiles automatically when you read them which is why you have to use the write external storage permission

android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE Allows the API to cache map tile data in the device's external storage area.

but you cannot manage them and the cache can be cleared
