The Android-only app also offers full offline access for those with spotty mobile Internet. Today’s news comes a month after Google launched its first dedicated public transport app, though it is only available in New Delhi, India. In addition to navigation, offline mode also retains key information about locations, such as opening hours and contact details for businesses, which will be helpful for tourists or business travelers. It’s worth noting here that this will require space on your device. Download Google Maps for offline use To download a map, go to the Google Maps app on your phone doesn’t matter if it’s Android or iOS. Now, you can download regions on Google Maps over Wi-Fi, and use the app wherever your roam. While Google Maps has emerged as the default navigation map for many, its shortcomings with offline access had forced users to turn to a second service when traveling abroad or when in rural areas where 3G/4G was limited. Then when you have a connection, you’ll be switched back online again (unless you manually go offline) so you can receive live traffic alerts. A neat feature of the new Google Maps offline mode is that it will automatically detect if you have poor or no connectivity, and switch to offline mode of its own accord.
