Abstract
Map data is fetched into a memory of a computing device for generating a digital map of a geographic area. In response to a request for the digital map, the map data is retrieved from the memory to generate the digital map. A determination is made whether a user of the computing device is likely to request the digital map again within a certain period of time, and a time when the map data should be removed from the memory is then determined based at least in part on this determination. The map data is removed from the memory at the determined time.
