Going Offline with Google Mobile Maps
http://www.pcworld.com/article/25706..._tex_h_topnews
After many requests from users, Google is making mobile Google Maps usable even when you have no access to Wi-Fi or cellular signal. Just select a section of a map that you will need offline before you leave home. Then map then downloads, and when you arrive at the place where you know you’ll be offline, the Map will work in a very similar way to how it works when connected. The map will work with your GPS signal to locate where you are, but you won’t be able to zoom down to Street View level. This capability will be available in the next few weeks on Android, but not on iOS. But Wednesday’s announcements come with some bad news (for Google) from Apple. The Wall Street Journal is reporting it has confirmed reports that it will ditch Google Maps for its own mapping app later this year. |
