how to download areas unavailable for "offline maps" in Google Maps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As above - I understand Google has allowed certain areas to be downloadable, but there are also many others that are unavailable.
Is there any hack/workaround for me to use it offline and on the go? Otherwise, is there another compatible offline maps app that can use all the saved pins I mapped out on Google?
Thanks!

does anyone know??

Save GPS Location on Map?

So I am in Korea and google maps is worthless for searching since the name of businesses are in Korean. I would like to save points of interest for future reference (For example the grocery store).
Any idea how to do this? I know on a PC I can use the map editor, but that doesn't help me when I am on the road, and I cannot find the place on google maps later. I would rather save my GPS location and give it a name.

[Q] How do you determine how Google pronounces words?

Certain words, like "Boerne," (the city I live in) isn't recognized correctly by Google, and I'm not sure how to figure out how Google pronounces that.
First, is there an app I can use to force Google to read a sentence so I know how to say "Boerne" in Google language?
Second, is there a way to change the way Google pronounces things? I can do so with people's names in the People/Contacts app, but not system-wide.

[Q] Google maps navigation, GPS not updating map position

Hi,
When using Google maps, if I set a destination and navigate to it, the ma just sits there and doesn't move when I drive off, nor does my location on it.
However if I stay on Google maps, and drive about my position is updated correctly but obviously I can't navigate that way.
I tried mapquest and that works with no problem as an alternative, but what the he'll it's wrong with maps?
Any ideas, I've already cleared Google maps in the apps section?
Sorry to reply without adding to the issue, but as I had not come across other's with this issue I want to confirm that Maps on my Galaxy S2 with Android 4.1.2 also does not update my position once I start navigating to my destination. But it does find my location before my destination is set.
EDIT: can anyone suggest a good place to put this query so that a Google employee takes note of it?
Edit 2: I reported the bug from within the Google Maps application. Hope there is some result.
