Офлайн карты. Offline maps need!

  1. Offline maps need!

Здравствуйте! Я много путешествую и без навигации уже никак не обойтись. Очень удобный сервис Google maps однако в дороге я его не могу использовать, т.к. он зависит от интернета. Только отключается интернет и сервис перестает работать. А в дороге интернет не всегда есть, особенно в России. А за границей, в роуминге скачать карты стоит бешеные деньги. Поэтому мне приходится пользоваться навигацией, которая работает офлайн.

Наверное я не первый озвучиваю эту мысль. Потому, что в путешествиях навигация без интернета становится бессмысленной.

Моё предложение состоит в том, чтобы сделать возможность подгружать карты при необходимости, как это реализовано в приложении Maps me. То есть, например человек проложил перед поездкой маршрут и автоматически подгрузились все регионы, через каждые проходит этот маршрут, чтобы потом карты работали без интернета.

Спасибо.

Hello! I travel a lot and navigation is no longer enough. A very convenient Google maps service, however, I cannot use it on the road, because it depends on the internet. Only the Internet is disconnected and the service stops working. And on the road, the Internet is not always there, especially in Russia. And abroad, in roaming, it costs a lot of money to download cards. Therefore, I have to use the navigation, which works offline.

I guess I’m not the first voiced this thought. Because when traveling, navigation without the Internet becomes meaningless.

My suggestion is to make it possible to load maps, if necessary, as implemented in the Maps me application. That is, for example, a person laid a route before the trip and all regions automatically loaded, every route passes this route, so that the maps would work without the Internet.

Thank.

Google Maps is an incredible tool for directions while traveling. But sometimes because there is no internet connection in remote rural area, one may not be able to use google maps. If google can make the maps accessible offline, it will help users a great deal although I understand that have the whole in one app and offline will be a huge amount of data.

Hi, this is already an available option!

Just select Offline Maps from the menu - it allows you to save an area so you can continue accessing it while offline. Hope this helps.

Hi @VartanovVladislav ,

The feature you’re suggesting already exists on Google Maps.

If you’re going where the Internet is slow, mobile data is expensive, or you can’t get online, you can save an area from Google Maps to your phone or tablet and use it when you’re offline.

However, downloading offline maps isn’t available in some regions because of contractual limitations, language support, address formats, or other reasons.

You can read more about this here in this article from Google Maps Help.

Meanwhile, I am going to move your post to the How-tos section of Connect, since it is not an idea.

Hi @Oumarkoul ,

Thank you for your contribution.

Please be informed that the feature you are suggesting already exists. In the Download areas and navigate offline article you can read about it.

Also I will merge your post to the Офлайн карты. Offline maps need!, because both are covering same topic.
