Need to save map data from washington all the way to texas.. not just a couple cities here and there. How do you download the entire trip.. Gonna lose cellular data traveling over mountains to get there..
I watched a lot of videos today explaining this. But yours was way better and showed how to use them while driving with data and wifi switched off. Which was exactly what I wanted. Wish I could have used TH-cam maps to find your video first! Big thanks!
thank you , your info made it so clear to understand got it right away no problem. I had previously downloaded a map but had no clue how to use offline it kept telling me no internet, really appreciate this
Hello, Thanks for the great video! As others have said your video was the only one that showed how to use the downloaded map offline! My question is do you have a video that shows how to navigate an entire route (Ontario to Orlando) offline? Thanks!
This really helped me a bunch. It made it easy to downolad and use ofline maps on my motorcycle when riding backroads and country roads where reception on my phone is sparce. Many Thanks.
Thank you for sharing google changes the layout not that long ago and I couldn't find the offline maps section I thought they removed it lol, thanks again for sharing
I'm still confuse I did exactly what you did. I downloaded the map and then turned off the data and wifi and when they asked me to update they requested me to be connected to network. IDK what I'm doing wrong
Can you use it for specific addresses? For example, If I was sitting at a Starbucks but I wanted to go to a friends house and I know the address but I need navigation to get there?
Hi Friend, @NorthernVikingExplorer thanks for this great - detailed and easy to understand vid. If i am driving a long distance say 5 hour drive from Dubrovnik to another city in Croatia what do I do ? download all the cities in between the two places?
Thank you for this video . Does Wi-Fi and data have to be turned off? Or are you just showing how it works without Wi-Fi and data? Also, I travel the country in an RV. There are times when GM says "searching for GPS" even though I download ofline map for that area before leaving but it doesn't use my downloaded map. If you know how to use it in the middle of a trip that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance .
cool! although I don't understand why you downloaded a map of Vegas and California and what that has to do with it. Could you just skip that search for you destination (Starbucks) and download that instead
Thank you so much good one, just one question, I get all set, only point is I can only see the route using vehicule, not walking (person icon). Do you know why?, thank you
Thank you so much. Just out of curiosity the method of downloading using the second option where you went type search. Are both downloads exactly the same in terms of including restaurants, petrol station etc. So just to confirm, if you have Wi-Fi is OFF and Mobile Data is Off, you will NOT incur any roaming charges for use of data as Google Maps are using the storage data and GPS which is FREE right without comprising the roaming charge? And no need to hire a SATNAV at $5 per day!
If you are planning a long driving trip through Ontario; Quebec; New Brunswick; Nova Scotia; Cape Breton; PEI & finally Newfoundland is it better to download just a map of Canada or each of the listed provinces separately. Thanks for any info. This will be my first time using Google Maps on my Android phone.
try downloading france, italy , greece, slovenia (which is one of the smaller countries) - none of the whole countries give you the download option, and if you try with the square window a whole country doesn't fit in it
Thanks N V.. id like to download the entire USA? So i can make my own GPS using a tablet. Would also like to do it for more than one. So like also garmin or and rand mcnally. Is it possible to download the entire us of a?
That is a good question, I have downloaded the whole West coast for a road trip in segments. You'll have to do it in different segments. Let me know if it works.
If I want to use a downloaded map off line do I have to turn off mobile data or will it automatically use the downloaded map even if mobile data is on ? Thanks Jack
I believe it will use the download map but it will use your data to check traffic and update the map if necessary. The only way to be sure it is not using data is to turn it off.
Ok but if i want to travel from UK to for example Poland. How can i download my route ? I only need that road i will be using but on offline, because if something happens with the internet connection im left without a map right? but at the same time i don't need maps for every country i will be crossing.
Do you need to turn off your data if you are using a downloaded map so you don't use data? Or will Google maps automatically use the downloaded map without data?
If the maps are pre-downloaded I believe it automatically pulls it from your phone but if there is new information like changes in traffic it will use your data. If you want to guarantee it is not using any data make sure it is turned off.
Didn't work on my iPad, I downloaded the map, searched for a location which it found, but click directions and it said I was not connected to the internet. How come your map gave you directions?

You can adjust the size of the space that's downloaded so you'll just need to download several locations that are along your route.
It only works for car. I walk it doesn't show for walking
I watched a lot of videos today explaining this. But yours was way better and showed how to use them while driving with data and wifi switched off. Which was exactly what I wanted. Wish I could have used TH-cam maps to find your video first!
Big thanks!
Glad it helped!
thanks buddy, you're the only one that shows how to use the thing AFTER you download the maps for offline use :)
Glad I could help
Thanks! That saved my day! Very clear explanations without assuming that users know much- that is exactly what i needed-))

Glad I could help you out 👍
Hello, Thanks for the great video! As others have said your video was the only one that showed how to use the downloaded map offline!
My question is do you have a video that shows how to navigate an entire route (Ontario to Orlando) offline?
Thanks!

What do you recommend design route firsts then download maps?
And can I do this on computer first then some transfer to my phone?
Cool option! Thanks for the good tutorial.
You're welcome 👍

You can adjust the size of the map, but make sure you download all the roads and the cities in between if you're wanting to have offline navigation.
Very helpful. Thank you
No Problem 👍 Thanks for watching.

Wow. I've been spending money on navigation,, when I could have been doing this the whole time?
Glad it was helpful 😀👍
Great info 👍. Appreciate this a lot.
Glad I could help 👍
Thank you so much good one, just one question, I get all set, only point is I can only see the route using vehicule, not walking (person icon). Do you know why?, thank you
I believe for directions you can only use driving mode. If you are walking you will have to look at the map manually to get your directions.
lovely amigo keep up the good work
Thank you very much! 👍👌😃
OMG thank you so much!
You're welcome 👍

Are all the streetnames and business names saved inside the square you select or do you need to individually download "cities" and the like?
Worked 🤩 thanks!
Perfect 👌
This is so amazing. Good work man
You're Welcome 👍
So helpful ! thank you :-)
No problem 👍
Great Video ☺️
Thanks 👍
Thanks so much!
You're welcome 👍
This is how a TH-cam video should be: short and sweet.
You're right ✅️.
If you are planning a long driving trip through Ontario; Quebec; New Brunswick; Nova Scotia; Cape Breton; PEI & finally Newfoundland is it better to download just a map of Canada or each of the listed provinces separately. Thanks for any info. This will be my first time using Google Maps on my Android phone.
I don't believe it will not let you download the full map of Canada. You will need to download it in sections.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer Thanks, I'll do that.
try downloading france, italy , greece, slovenia (which is one of the smaller countries) - none of the whole countries give you the download option, and if you try with the square window a whole country doesn't fit in it
Thanks, very helpful 💯
You're welcome 👍
Thank you so much, like I'm in a different country and I have to use the map and I can't use my data because it's expensive
You're welcome 👍
thank you very mutch
You are welcome

Tank you
You're welcome 👍
Can I download a map tha was created previously at home as a GPX file?
Are you suppose to be able to adjust the size of the square? I couldnt.
If I want to use a downloaded map off line do I have to turn off mobile data or will it automatically use the downloaded map even if mobile data is on ?
Thanks

I believe it will use the download map but it will use your data to check traffic and update the map if necessary. The only way to be sure it is not using data is to turn it off.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer Thanks for your swift reply and information provided. That would seem to make sense.
How would you download a long distance trip ? Say Sacramento to riverside? Or LA?
You can download a few different segments so your full trip is covered.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer ty
Brilliant - Thanks
You're welcome 👍
Hello! Do you know if this works for taking a bus/walking offline or is it just for car use?
I believe it is only driving directions.
Ok but if i want to travel from UK to for example Poland. How can i download my route ? I only need that road i will be using but on offline, because if something happens with the internet connection im left without a map right? but at the same time i don't need maps for every country i will be crossing.
Satellite Nav is best for long distances
Thanks man
You're Welcome 👍
In the start, how did you turn off cellular data please, I did not see the arrow pointing to anything, thanks?
Thanks a lot
You're Welcome 👍
Thanks
No problem
Tbanks friend.
You're welcome 👍
I have an iPhone XR and cannot find anywhere to download maps. I don’t have any of the icons described...any suggestions?
My location is on and maps downloaded. When I stop and tap location it doesn't locate me?
what about cities in different countries ?
Do you need to turn off your data if you are using a downloaded map so you don't use data? Or will Google maps automatically use the downloaded map without data?
If the maps are pre-downloaded I believe it automatically pulls it from your phone but if there is new information like changes in traffic it will use your data. If you want to guarantee it is not using any data make sure it is turned off.
Thank you but ,why it doesn’t show train direction ?
Does it need network coverage ?
You will need data or Wi-Fi to download the maps. However, you do not need it to use the maps while driving.
My location is on and my offline maps are downloaded yet when I stop and tap the location button it doesn't show me my location. What do l need to do?
So can I download California? I need highways and destinations...
Yes you can download the California map. You may need to download it in a few sections.
Didn't work on my iPad, I downloaded the map, searched for a location which it found, but click directions and it said I was not connected to the internet. How come your map gave you directions?
Can you download an entire state at a time?
No, just the information that is inside the square that you select.
If I want to download bigger distance, say, from NYC to Chicago, those little zooming windows don't allow me to get that big
You can download multiple areas.
@@NorthernVikingExplorer thx, that's what I actually did
Where is Orchard makll - what city?
Orchard Park Mall is in Kelowna BC Canada
@@NorthernVikingExplorer ok, just noticed that you jumped in your car and looked for
Starbucks but did not tell us.
What about redirecting
google maps my smart phone does not have off line maps ???? l live in thailand
how can we download in satellite mode ?
I believe it is only the standard maps available for download.
No menu shows up
It's not working for the walking & metro system!
It only works in the driving mode.
walking doesn't work offline, Does it?
I believe only driving works offline.
Tried to find pickle juice shop while offline, but no luck :(
Offline niet voor de fiets!
No, It's for driving directions only.
