Navigate Like a Pro: Unlocking the Magic of Offline GOOGLE MAPS

If you’re anything like me, there is no greater frustration in today’s fast-paced world than losing your internet connection. You’re travelling to a place you’ve never been before. You look up directions on your telephone. Suddenly, everything goes dark. No internet. No maps. Bad times. Once upon a time, the map of the world belonged to me, like Genghis Khan before I was born, and like Google after I was born. Thanks to Google Maps, I could navigate to anywhere on Earth, right from my smartphone. But, little did I know, Google offers a hack that can make Google Maps even more helpful, especially when you are out of range of the internet. It’s called offline maps, and it has completely changed my navigation life, making me better prepared than ever to go anywhere. Here’s how.

GOOGLE MAPS: Your Pathway to Seamless Navigation

If you use Google Maps – as most people do – you should personally thank the late Steve Jobs for revolutionising how we find our way around the world, with its real-time directions and traffic information, and an index that tells you about every place and landmark you can see. And then you should thank the noted technical geniuses who have developed the offline map function, allowing you to be no more than temporarily lost, even when you’ve been abandoned by technology.

How to Download and Use Offline GOOGLE MAPS

Whether you’re preparing to venture into the backcountry, travelling abroad, or simply planning for the inevitable spottiness of provincial cell service, Google Maps can help you prepare ahead of time by downloading detailed maps to use offline — if you know the right way to tap into this hidden feature.

Step 1: Launch Google Maps

Just fire up the Google Maps app on your iPhone or Android device. Ensure that you’re signed in with your Google account to take advantage of all of its features.

Step 2: Access Your Offline Maps

Click on the profile icon at the top right hand of the screen, and go to ‘offline maps’ here. This is the portal to navigating without the internet.

Step 3: Select Your Map

Click on ‘select your own map’ to select precisely the part of the map you want: you can move the map around to encompass the part you’re interested in, and Google Maps will indicate the amount of disk space it will use on your computer.

Step 4: Download and Navigate

Then just click ‘download’ where you see that area and you’re good to go. For the ultimate in directness, search for a city with the maps search bar and click ‘download’ on that city’s page. Your map is yours and you’re set for offline navigation there, with Google Maps at your back, literally or not, thanks to your connection or lack thereof.

Pro Tips for Mastering Offline GOOGLE MAPS

Downloading offline maps is easy enough, but grabbing more mileage from the app requires another few tips. Here then are more tips on better Google Maps usage, courtesy Google itself: 2. Use wandering about as an excuse to download offline maps. The more familiarity you have with the lie of the land when you’re driving, the more you will be driven to take different routes.

Bonus Tip 1: Regularly Update Your Maps

Offline maps have a usage limit of 30 days, because Google wants you to have the most recent data available. Remember to update your offline maps before they expire to ensure you don’t get lost.

Bonus Tip 2: Customize Your Area

You’ll then choose your map, zoom in or out, until you’re sure to have the whole area you need covered. If you’re travelling to multiple regions, go ahead and download multiple areas.

Bonus Tip 3: Manage Your Storage

See how much space Google Maps takes up and make adjustments for your device. Of course, if you run out of space, you can simply remove offline maps that you don’t need anymore.

Beyond Navigation: The Brilliance of GOOGLE

While Google might have started out with maps and navigation, we know that everywhere we go digitally, Google is there to make things simpler, smarter and more integrated via its growing suite of services, from the way we work (Google Drive, Google Docs) to the way we live virtually (Google Photos, YouTube).
