I'll definitely be downloading V3 when it comes out after hearing this news. Thank you so much for your continued effort to bring us such an amazing flight planner!

Wow, version 3 sounds like it's going to be amazing! What will it use instead of Google Maps/Earth?

My internet connection is extremely slow, so I was wondering if there is a way to cache more data in order to not have to wait for the images to load each time I open Plan-G, since I usually fly in roughly the same area.

Damn that's disappointing :(. Is there a way to at least allow me to cache more Google Maps data when using Plan-G so I have to stream less often?

Hey guys, I downloaded Plan-G yesterday. I love the way it intergrates Google Earth, it's also very easy to use and a very attractive looking flight planner. One problem I have though is that my internet connection only runs at 384kbps and so it takes a while to load map sections. I have two questions regarding this problem of mine:

1) What data type (Map, Satellite, Hybrid, Terrain, Earth) uses the least bandwidth?
2) More importantly, is there a way to download certain Google maps (i.e. the terrain maps for South Africa), so that when I'm making flight plans in South Africa, using Plan-G, I don't have to stream/buffer the maps on the go?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

EDIT: I found a program called Google Maps Terrain Downloader that let me download the terrain view of South Africa at level 8 zoom and put it into a bmp image file. Is there a way to integrate this bmp with Plan-G?
