they are purged, but iirc it isn't too hard to copy them from the
cache directory to a maps directory. I put all this together once upon
a time, got it mostly working, then realized that a) it would take a
crapload of disk space (5x the amount i had available) to get a couple
of states at the zoom levels i wanted, b) it would take forever on my
slow internet connection at home, and c) what i was doing and the rate
i was slamming the server sort of violated their ToS.  i dropped it.

getting the vector data (shape files) is definitely the way to go for
offline use.
