Is there a way to use google maps offline even while connected to lte?

[AC Question]

I am a delivery driver so I need to stay connected to lte so I can received order notifications, but I'd still like to be able to use the maps I've downloaded for offline use. Is there a way to "turn on" offline maps even while connected?

You should have an option to use maps offline if you have the area downloaded.

Of course if something has happened on your route, the offline map won't show it, but the online map probably will. (I watched a "construction" area disappear from the online map about a minute after the last truck had cleared the lane, so they're sometimes pretty fast.)
