Ziua Memorială is almost here, announcing the start of summer and putting millions of people on the road for a quick vacation. If you’re opting for a road trip, you’ve probably already got your playlist ready, snacks in the car and your telefon charged so Google Maps can get you there faster. Turn-by-turn directions make it easy to avoid traffic jams and road closures during your road trip. But if you’re driving through areas with poor signal, things can get dicey in the blink of an eye.
Without an internet connection, Google Maps can’t help you reroute, search for gas stations or recover from a wrong turn. You’re stuck with whatever directions you started with — unless you planned ahead and downloaded your map for offline use.
Luckily, there’s a smart workaround. With offline maps, you can still access turn-by-turn navigation even when you’re completely disconnected. Here’s how to make sure you’re never lost, even without service.

How to download Google Maps offline
First off, you won’t download all of Google Maps in its entirety. Instead, before your trip, you’ll want to download a specific area, which could be a city, county or region where you’ll be spending time and might not have service on your phone.
To download a map in Google Maps offline, open the Google Maps app on iOS or Android and tap your profile picture on the top right (you must be logged in to your Google account for this to work). In the menu that appears, tap Hărți offline > Selectați propria hartă.
Puteți descărca mai multe zone din Google Maps offline.
Use your fingers to place the map you want to download within the confines of the rectangle border. Use one finger to move across the map, and a two-finger pinch to zoom in and out. As you move around the map, you’ll see how much storage space the download will take up on your phone. Once you’re happy with the area, tap Descărcare.
NotaAlternativ, puteți introduce un oraș sau o altă zonă în Google Maps și apoi puteți apăsa butonul Descărcare button that appears in the pull-up window to download the map offline but this only works on the iPhone.

Trebuie să fiți conectat la Wi-Fi pentru a descărca harta. Dacă doriți să descărcați prin rețeaua celulară, accesați Hărți offline pagină, atingeți pictograma roată din dreapta sus, atingeți Când se descarcă hărți offline și selectați Prin Wi-Fi sau rețea mobilăDupă ce harta este descărcată, veți fi trimis înapoi la Hărți offline pagină, unde puteți vedea toate hărțile offline.
You can only download a map that’s a maximum 250MB (what will appear in the selected map is roughly the size of Maine).
Now you’ll be able to use Google Maps even when you’re offline in the area you downloaded — and in that area only. You won’t get extremely accurate travel times or alternate route options because traffic and other road issues are not accounted for but you will get a general ballpark idea of how long your trip should take. Transit, bicycling and walking directions also are not available offline — only driving directions.
Vei ști că folosești harta offline când vei vedea o mică pictogramă în formă de nor tăiată de o linie în Google Maps.
