Will Google Maps Directions Work Offline. So here is the guide to download the Google Maps offline both for Android and iOS users. This feature is perfect for anyone whos trying to minimize the use of their data or dont have data at all.
That changed a few weeks ago when Google announced that its maps destination searches and turn-by-turn directions will be available offline using the phones built-in GPS chip rather than its. If your Internet connection is slow or absent youll see a lightning bolt and Google Maps will use your offline areas to give you directions. You cant get walking transit or cycling directions while offline.
On your iPhone or iPad open the Google Maps app.
Offline maps are available for viewing panning and zooming but cant be used to search or get directions. Thats right you can use Google Maps in airplane mode. After you download a map use the Google Maps app just like you normally would. When downloading maps for offline use youll only be able to access driving directions since transit bicycling and walking directions are only available online.
