As others have said, you can download large chunks of google maps to use off line. The routing works still, but of course you don’t get the up to date traffic info. To force Google Maps to use the off line saved version and not access 4g data whilst not activating Airline mode, you’ll need to go into Mobile data settings and turn off Google Maps access to mobile data. This has worked okay for me in Italy and Ireland. The routing kept putting me down tiny lanes which were fun for a while, but wore thin like the paint on the side of the van we’d hired rubbing on the hedges. Better settings like allowing highways would have addressed this. I purchased an Italian SIM from Vodafone in Verona. €50 for two months of 25Gb per month across Europe. Unfortunately due to the rules about not downloading the Vodafone Italy app from the Australian Apple store, I’m not able to check my access and roaming data Tim Sent from Tim's iPhone > On 29 Jun 2019, at 2:44 pm, Rod Blitvich <[email protected]> wrote: > > Brilliant Ronni! > Thanks > Rod > > <image.gif> > > Rod Blitvich - Amy & Sam’s Dad > . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . > Good Ideas > 0409 681 256 > [email protected] > > > >> On 29 Jun 2019, at 12:59 pm, Ronni Brown <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Hi Blitto, >> >> The short answer: Google Maps doesn’t use much mobile data at all when >> navigating.
