I understand your question. And it has been answered already, but I'll give it one more try.
Although it is technically possible you should not save google map tiles to cache and use for the future. It is explicitly forbidden by Google - and they own/license the data. You will need to use open source map data to meet your goal. You can either download the raw geo data and build your own tile server or you can use one of the existing free tile servers. Be careful how many zoom levels you will support as you are going to need an awful lot of tiles. I suggest you follow the links that have already been given in the thread and research OSM and mobile altas creator.
