Tech Tips: Not everyone knows how to use Google Maps without the internet, you should know it immediately..

Google Maps is very convenient, but it always requires a stable internet connection. In remote areas where there is no stable internet connection, there is a lot of trouble. But, many people are not aware of all the features of Google Maps. One such feature is to use maps offline. Users can use Google Maps even without the internet. Let's know how.

These are the steps to use Google Maps without the internet:

Before going to areas without internet access, it is necessary to download maps for offline use. Let's know its steps:

Open Google Maps.

Tap on the profile icon > Offline maps > Select your map.

Zoom in or out to select the area to download, then tap on the download button.

Offline maps can consume a lot of storage space (up to 1.5 GB or more depending on the area).

Then this downloaded map can be used by going to that place when offline.

Let us tell you that for devices that support microSD cards, downloaded maps can be transferred to the SD card by going to the profile icon > Offline maps > gear icon > Storage preferences and selecting SD card.

Understand map expiration

Offline maps only last for a few weeks and expire automatically after about 15 days if not refreshed. Google Maps occasionally updates routes, businesses, and infrastructural changes on maps. It is advisable to turn on automatic updates of offline maps to keep maps updated.

Fewer features are available offline.

Works like searching for places, navigating, and getting directions can be done on offline maps. But some services like real-time traffic, alternative routes, public transport, and bike/walk directions are not available.

In short, traveling without internet is no longer a challenge thanks to the offline feature of Google Maps. By downloading maps, users can access essential navigation tools, get updates, and understand limitations.
