How to use Google Maps Offline :
Google Maps offline is that you will have to use it online in order to store the required data first.
1. Open your Google Maps (while online) and search for your desired location.
2. Once you've found the location you want, the easiest way to
save it for later is to go to the options menu by tapping the three
lines (hamburger) icon and tapping
offline areas.
3. Next, tap the
plus or
add symbol in the bottom right of the screen and you will prompted with a message that says "download this area?"
4. Drag the map inside the square box until it encompasses the area you want a map of. Pinch to zoom
(putting
two fingers on the display and bringing them together) to close in
on the area you want. Move your fingers in the opposite way to zoom out
and encompass a larger area.
5. Once you are happy with the map area, tap
Download
6. You will be prompted to name your area. Do so in the box that appears.
7. Once you have downloaded the map to your device, you can access it
by tapping the menu icon at the top left of the main Maps page and
returning to
Offline areas, where you should now see your downloaded area.
