If c:geo cannot load an online image, it will show drawable/image_not_loaded.png instead. I suggest to use a smaller image instead, because if I have a cache with several images which all cannot be loaded, there is no use in showing multiple large "empty" images instead. I just want to scroll over them, because they have no value for me.
And the other thing is: Users may have gotten used to this image representing "could not load image", but the image itself absolutely does not reflect this status. Something like the good old browsers "red cross in empty image" may be suited better to transport the message, even if it is not as nice. Something like
