If you are talking about the offline storage of Google Map tiles in your own app then I can think of a possible approach - but I wouldn't even bother. It's not a service that Google provide and their data is copyrighted. Just think about how many tiles you will have to pull down for all the zoom levels - it gets to a pretty big number very quickly for a relatively small area. There are not that many Google tile servers to rotate the requests between...so even if you get away with it for a while I'm sure you will get spotted quickly and your requests refused.
If you want to get into offline Maps then OSM (http:// www.openstreetmap.org/) is probably your best bet. There are a number of tile providers you can pick from - although not many will give you tiles without payment for a commercial application. If you are covering a limited Geographical area then you would probably be better off extracting the Geo information from somewhere like http://planet.openstreetmap.org/ and building and hosting your own tile server. It's not a trivial proposition.
