fq-craigus Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This is good to know, i have to plan my stops when out on the bike to check directions if im not plugged in for voice guidance. I was using the nav on google tonight and it still amazes me how good it is for free, and with how good gps positioning is on phones it works pretty much seemlessly. Wonder how long until google turn round and start charging for all the services that people have become reliant on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tankbag Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 the only downfall is you have to download the areas first!! I use this on my android, but how do I download a Country first ? for instance, Turkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dav3y Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Pretty sure offline maps if you can call it that has been available for some time. It's very restricted to small areas though so you can't do a country. Just zoom in on the area you want and drop the menu down and select 'make available offline'. You then get a box pop up showing the area to download with an estimate of data size.Alternatively, go to My Places and then select offline tab from popup and select New offline Map.Turkey doesn't work for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
