- int_19h 4y agoThere's an upper limit on the size of the area (although not their count), so it gets rather tedious if you want to cache a lot. It also expires eventually. with no way to block that. OsmAnd+ is the only sane option for reliable offline maps w/navigation on smartphones, IMO.

- GordonS 4y agoAdmittedly not for some time, I'll be over the moon if it finally supports offline search!
- drchickensalad 4y agoI use offline search all the time
- FeistySkink 4y agoFrom my experience this is heavily location-dependent, so US is probably the worst example.
- gsa 4y agoGoogle Maps without internet is barely usable. It only has driving directions which is pretty useless if you are on foot or a bike. It's actually astonishing that Google Maps can create an offline navigation plan for a vehicle that weighs thousands of kilos while walking directions always need internet to work.
