You'll want to consider another mapping app if you need offline navigation.Īs we noted at the start of this article, after saving a map you still won't be able to perform step-by-step navigation, search for points of interest or access Street View without an Internet connection. Whether it's to make you download refreshed map data each time, to save you some minimal amounts of storage or some other reason, Google just won't budge on this limitation right now.
The big thing to know about offline Google Maps is that saved areas are automatically cleared after 30 days on your device.
There's very little data savings to be had from saving maps where you live and visit often with a connection, but you can see speed improvements if you regularly have a slow data connection in those areas because there's less to load. After saving maps your app won't act any differently when in normal use with an Internet connection - the only changes come when your phone is without data and you open up the app to find your way.
