If I type ok maps I cache a particular area from the Google Maps to my mobile device. Is there any folder where these files are stored? I dived into folders but found nothing that can possibly be such place.

Answer 1

There's no visible location where the maps are saved, on Android devices some of the pointers are saved to /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/cache but other then that it's all saved on hidden cache partition.

if you want to back up the maps folder you can use this guide.
