First of all: maps API – pure awsomeness – thanks for that one!
Would it be possible to zip the map tiles and have them as a seperate download? This would make life easier for developers on a slow internet connection (like me… coughs)

What is your use-case for wanting to download all of the tiles vs. just referencing our servers directly?
Our servers will stay up to date with the latest map changes, etc.
It’s just for development purposes – having the tiles on localhost would keep me sane when i’m reloading my local dev page – i’m on a 384kbit connection, so it would take ages to reload and zoom etc… from a remote server.
I think you’d find it would take forever to download a zip file too — the total size of the maps is more than 5 GB, and it will likely grow in size over time.
The map tiles have cache headers, so you shouldn’t be having to download the tiles each time you reload the page.
