One of the must-haves in today’s time is Google Maps- which is being used by mostly everyone in metros and in tier 2 and tier 3 cities of the country. It is one reliable source through which people prefer to commute anywhere, with all the faith on Google Maps and on the internet.
But people have been facing concerns while using the maps during the low internet scenarios or at situations where there is no internet at all. Though it might seem challenging at times, there is always hope and a way to use the application, even without the internet.
Yes, we can use Google Map even without the internet (offline) to get help in navigation.
Here are the steps to follow in order to use Google Maps offline:
First, open the Google Maps app on your handset
Second, tap on your profile picture which is placed in the upper left corner and select on option ‘Offline Maps.’
Third, tap on ‘Select your own map’ and type on the place where you would like to head-on.
Then the map will be downloaded and you will also get access to the offline navigation.
