I am pretty sure you dont get Google Earth after the subscription expires and the graphics is much too large of a file for any SD card or the Juke box. Google Earth is a cool toy at first but I hardly use it now.

Or does it switch back to the native navigation maps. For example, suppose I have driven in my neighborhood and viewed it on Google Earth Nav view, does that get stored and come up later, even if I'm not connected to the internet via AudiConnect? Is there anyway to download the (Google Earth view) maps on an SD card prior to the Audiconnect trial expiring? I still have pretty much a 6 months trial, but I'm sure it goes by quick, that's why I'm wondering. Did anybody who let their subscription trial expire comment on this? Do you still get Google Earth views?
Whatever Google Earth view was downloaded prior to your subscription expiring, it's kept on cache. So you would continue to see Google Earth overlays for places you've driven over.

I have tested this by disconnecting the data connection, and yes, the Google Earth data is stored and continues to appear. Of course, it won't update any changes to the google earth maps or display new areas you may drive in after the data service expires. I have occasionally found the Google Earth images helpful when trying to find an address by zooming in and looking at the image, and the online destinations info is helpful; but, for me, not worth $30 a month.
