Heading out into the great outdoors? Perhaps to another country or area where internet connectivity may not be the best? Make sure to download your Google Maps for offline use before you head out. Once you have offline maps, you can use them to find your way, complete with turn-by-turn navigation, even when your GPS can’t connect to mobile data networks.
How to Use Google Maps Offline (+ a BETTER Option) | Offline Maps & Navigation App
Google lets you preemptively download maps of any area in the world, so you don’t have to stick to places that are nearby. You can also download multiple maps and keep them on your device for a year.
Open the Google Maps app and search for the city, area or country you are visiting. Then select your choice to go to the details screen.
On Android, swipe up on the menu; on iOS, swipe to the bottom of the options. Tap the Download button here. If you’re viewing the details screen in full screen, tap the three-dot Menu button in the upper-right corner and choose the Download Offline Map option.
