- jjice 3y agoI downloaded the entire state of Rhode Island so I never really need to use data when traveling. It's fantastic.
- tomcam 3y agoYeah but it’s Rhode Island so that’s like 6K
- kingnothing 3y agoSo does Apple Maps.
- carlosjobim 3y agoNo search in Apple Maps when you're offline, so it's limited.
- stephenr 3y agoYou definitely can search in offline mode.
- carlosjobim 3y agoNo you can't. Put your iPhone in airplane mode and try.
- stephenr 3y agoI did just that before posting that comment, to confirm that it works as I understood it (ie searching for "restaurants" rather than just searching for a contact name which has an address). In airplane mode the search prompt in maps even changes to "Search Offline Maps".
- carlosjobim 3y agoIt's not possible to type into the search prompt of Apple Maps when in airplane mode.
- stephenr 3y agoIt is possible, but it does depend on region though. I can't search with an offline map in Thailand, but it works fine for an offline map in Australia: https://imgur.com/a/DA803mj https://imgur.com/a/DA803mj
- carlosjobim 3y agoMystery solved! Then we're both right.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 3y agoOrganic Maps is offline until it needs to download updated map information from Open Maps data. https://organicmaps.app/ https://organicmaps.app/ Search just finds whatever matches sorted by distance so it may not fit one's needs.
- rabbits_2002 3y agoExcept when it decides to not work when you are on a trail 200 miles from the closest town lol. I hate Google.
- is_true 3y agoI always take a few screenshots just in case
