You will then have the possibility to force the update (if you have an internet connection) or to display it by clicking on it. To use Google Maps offline, simply return to the Offline Maps menu and select the desired area.
That’s it, the maps will start downloading in the background in your Google Maps app. Once the area is delimited, click on the blue Download button. An estimate of the amount of data required will also be displayed on the screen. To find the target location, you can navigate the screen by sliding your finger, but also reduce or enlarge the area by zooming in/out. A delimited area will then appear on the screen. But as you might expect, the usefulness of this feature is much more obvious for unknown areas. Google will then offer you to download an area covering the surroundings of your personal area. First, you need to open Google Maps on your device and tap on your avatar in the top right. The Android-only app also offers full offline access for those with spotty mobile Internet. Today’s news comes a month after Google launched its first dedicated public transport app, though it is only available in New Delhi, India. In addition to navigation, offline mode also retains key information about locations, such as opening hours and contact details for businesses, which will be helpful for tourists or business travelers. It’s worth noting here that this will require space on your device. Now, you can download regions on Google Maps over Wi-Fi, and use the app wherever your roam. While Google Maps has emerged as the default navigation map for many, its shortcomings with offline access had forced users to turn to a second service when traveling abroad or when in rural areas where 3G/4G was limited. Then when you have a connection, you’ll be switched back online again (unless you manually go offline) so you can receive live traffic alerts. 
A neat feature of the new Google Maps offline mode is that it will automatically detect if you have poor or no connectivity, and switch to offline mode of its own accord.
