To set how often the app automatically updates and clears the cache, tap the settings icon (the cog symbol) on the offline maps screen. Keep in mind that even though you can use a cached map without a data connection, you will lose certain capabilities, such as live traffic updates. That data storage is the only real downside to this feature, but you can delete any of your offline maps at any time. You can choose from suggestions (like the area around your home address or places you’ve recently looked up), or you can tap Select your own map (Android) or Custom map (iOS) to specify a section of the map yourself.Īs you select your tiles, down at the bottom of the screen, you’ll see how much room the offline map will take up on your phone.
To get started, tap your avatar in the top right of your screen and then Offline maps. You can guard against this by saving part of a map for offline use on Google Maps’ mobile app. These two scenarios mean the same thing-no more loading map tiles. There might be times when your phone loses service far from civilization, or when you’re traveling abroad without the luxury of a data connection.
