I'm going on a trip to Japan soon, and I'm trying to save offline google maps.
Most importantly, I'm trying to save instructions / routes. I'll be biking and using the subways so I really need detailed routes.
I googled and found this, the latest instructions I could find:
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.
But when I click the three vertical dots it gives me a checklist with the following options:
Public Transit
Satellite
Terrain
I found on the Play Store there's another Google app called "My Maps" but it seems like such a useless app. I can't make any routes at all, let alone download an offline map. Whenever I click something it usually just directs me back to Google's "Map" app. What's the point?
What's important is that I can get public transportation information.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks!
