How do I download an offline map?

Open Settings, Offline maps, pick a country or a region and start the download. You see the estimated size beforehand.

How much storage does an offline map need?

That depends on the country or region. The app shows a size estimate before the download, and large downloads need your confirmation.

What happens if the download breaks off?

After a network loss the download resumes. You can also pause it yourself. Finished files are checked for damage.

How do I update offline maps?

On Wi-Fi the app loads updates automatically. Over mobile data you tap the update button yourself.

Can I navigate with them without a signal?

For that you also load the navigation data per country. Then the phone calculates the route without a signal. Round trips, the curvy candidate search, the speed limit lookup and "Follow me" still need a connection.

Are offline maps free?

They are Premium. During the beta everything is unlocked, after that Premium is paid. You can delete downloaded maps at any time.

Offline maps: download a country to your phone

Premium

You download whole countries or single regions to your phone. The map then sits on the device and stays available where there is no signal.

Premium: offline maps. During the beta everything is unlocked.

Pick countries and regions

Under Settings, Offline maps you choose a country or a region. Before the download the app shows a size estimate. Large downloads need your confirmation.

Download in the background

The download keeps running in the background. You can pause it, and after a network loss the app resumes where it stopped. A finished file is checked for damage before it counts.

The map comes from your phone

The app reads map tiles from the downloaded files first and asks the network only after that. The map data comes from OpenStreetMap. In a dead zone the map stays put, also during navigation.

Staying up to date

Each region has its own version. When a new map appears for one country, the others do not count as outdated. The app loads updates automatically on Wi-Fi only. Over mobile data an update button shows up instead.

Map and route load separately

The offline map shows the map. For routing without a signal you also load the navigation data per country, on the same screen. Round trips, the curvy candidate search, the speed limit lookup and "Follow me" still need a connection.

Storage at a glance

The screen shows how much space the maps take and how many regions are loaded. Update all and delete all each have a button. Deleting always works, also without Premium.

Offline maps are Premium

Offline maps are part of Premium. During the beta everything is unlocked. After that Premium is paid, the purchase runs through Google Play and Google Play shows the price. Without Premium, downloaded maps stay on the device but are not used.
