Google Maps is the preferred application for millions of users to search for their destination on the go.
The application depends entirely on the Internet connection, which may be a financial burden on some, especially those who rely on datasets data with limited monthly capacity.
There is a simple way to use the application without the Internet, in a specific area that the user uploads when the Wi-Fi network is available for use when he leaves his place without an Internet connection.
Even if the user loses an Internet connection, the routing service will remain operational if it is to the same destination, and the route has not undergone any actual changes.
Steps to store maps without the Internet:
- Open the Google Maps app
- Find the region or location you want to download.
- If you searched for a specific place, the name bar should appear at the bottom, and if it is not, just click and hold somewhere on the map to show the section, tap it to see more options.
- Click to download.
- You can now zoom in and out, making the download area larger or smaller.
- After making your selection, click the Download button in the lower right corner.
- Once you've downloaded the maps you want, you can navigate and search for directions as you would when connected to the Internet.

Thanks for the useful post @راضي
Most welcomed because many local guide are unaware of this important function, that gives the possibility to drive in areas with low or missing internet connection

Thanks a lot for this informative post @راضي. I would be better to have pin dropping facility for missing places being offline. I don't know it is possible or not.

Offline map didn't give option to add missing places @راضي. I tried to do that.
