Very useful for me and all other smartphone users using the Google Maps app for directions.
For areas where you expect no broadband connection for example due to tall structures in urban areas or in mountain terrain or wherever else signals are not available, you can use Google Maps offline if you have downloaded the map for the local area beforehand when you had internet connectivity. Download a map to use offline on IPhone and IPad: Step 1: On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Maps app. Step 2: Make sure you're connected to the Internet and signed in to Google Maps. Step 3: Search for a place, like Jaipur. Step 4: At the bottom, tap the name or address of the place and then tap More. Step 5: Select Download offline map Download a map to use offline on an Android device: Step 1: On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Maps app. Step 2: Make sure you're connected to the Internet and signed in to Google Maps. Step 3: Search for a place, like Jaipur. Step 4: At the bottom, tap the name or address of the place and then tap More. Step 5: Select Download offline map After you download a map, use the Google Maps app just like you normally would. If your Internet connection is slow or absent, Google Maps will use your offline maps to give you directions. Roland Francis Scarborough.
