Google maps hosted without internet connection

Question

Is it possible to host a deployment of google maps locally so that users, on a small local network, do not need an internet connection? This is for a tradeshow project that will not have internet connectivity.
I'm hoping to get an answer from Google on this, the Dev site suggests that this is the place to ask.

Answer 1

As far as I am aware it is not possible, the library functions often call external services for processing and the map tiles themselves cannot be downloaded. You could on the other hand use a local copy of OpenStreetMap as a base layer and then either use a local copy of the maps API over the top (being careful which methods to call to avoid errors) or even using OpenLayers for your mapping functionality.

Hope this helps.
