Re: how do I read google maps offline?
is it possible to download directions from google maps and read them offline
Download an offline map
If you're going where mobile data is expensive or you won't have an Internet connection, you can save a map to your device and use it when you're offline. Here’s how:
Make sure you're connected to the Internet and signed in to your Google account.
Open the Google Maps app maps.
Search for a place, like "San Francisco."
At the bottom, touch the bar that has the name of the place you searched.
In the upper right, touch the menu three vertical dots.
To save the map, select Save offline map. And follow the directions on the screen.
To view your offline map, see the directions for viewing your saved maps below.
Note: The biggest size for an offline map is 50km x 50km. If you try to save an area bigger than that, you'll be asked to zoom in to a smaller area.
