You know you can also download Offline maps. One of Google Maps best features.
- buffet_overflow 4y agoThis is one of those things that while true and useful, I personally don't realize or think of it until just after I need it. It's always frustrating to get to a destination without signal and need to plot the return trip, or try to make adjustment in the middle of a dead zone and realize you don't have maps. I keep an atlas in my back seat just to be safe now.
- lh7777 4y agoThe nice thing about the built-in nav is that it always works everywhere in the U.S. Google Maps only lets you download an area about half the size of Washington State at a time and you have to manually select the area to download. Fine for local use, but too tedious (and too much disk space) for a long road trip.
- julianz 4y ago?? The Google Maps I use offers to download the maps if I ask for directions on a long journey. It doesn't seem to have download limits and I never need to think about it again.
- bombolo 4y agoHave you heard of Open Street Maps? You can keep offline all the maps you want.
