I am using an att tilt with mobile 6 professional.  I have wi-fi
connectivity, but no data plan.  It seems like if I start connected to
wi-fi, I can get my maps and use whatever maps are on the phone.  Is
there a way to load the maps that I need onto my phone and save them,
or will I have to have a connection?

You need Internet connection, whenever you(/GMM) need to load new map
tiles or other stuff. At least for now.

The actual question is can I PRELOAD/DOWNLOAD maps via Wi-Fi or
Internet?

I can imagine that Google have no interest...

Hi radimit,

That type of functionality (the ability to pre-cache/download map
tiles for later use) isn't available for Google Maps for mobile at
this time. There have been a number of posts in this group
specifically requesting this functionality, and we're working to meet
your needs - but for now, Google Maps for mobile requires a data
connection for use.

Best,
Tom
