Most of us use Google Maps every day. Be it finding a new route somewhere, watching the traffic or locating a place. But if the internet connection stops or the network is weak, then using Google Maps becomes difficult.
In such a situation, the ‘Offline Maps’ feature is very useful. This feature helps you in showing the way even without internet. Let us know how Google Maps can be used offline in India.
Download Offline Map-First of all, download the map of the area or city you want to visit in advance.
Open Google Maps.
Type the name of that place in the search bar (like Delhi or Goa).
Tap on ‘Download offline map’ or ‘Offline maps’ below.
Click on ‘Download’, the map will be saved on your phone.
Now you can see the map of that place even without internet.
Navigate from Saved Maps
Once the map is downloaded, Google Maps can also be used in offline mode.
Simply open the app and start navigating to your downloaded area.
It will give you turn-by-turn directions, just not show live traffic updates.
Benefit of saving data and battery
Another advantage of Offline Maps is that it saves both mobile data and battery.
When internet is not needed, your phone does not spend much energy in network search.
This feature is very useful especially in rural areas, hill stations or while travelling.
Keep updating offline maps
Google Maps is updated every few weeks.
Therefore, if you download a map of any area, keep it fresh by ‘Update Offline Map’ from time to time.
This also keeps roads, new routes and business locations up-to-date.
If you are going on a trip or live in a weak network area, then the Offline Feature of Google Maps can prove to be very helpful for you. Just download the map in advance and enjoy the journey without any worries.
