How to save google maps offline in Iphone ?

I am a google fan so I follow google with its updates. Google has rolled out a wonderful update for its google maps for smart phones last night in UK. I am not sure about other countries. It is very handy. Most special feature of this app update is we can save maps offline , upto 6 maps. Size of the map depends on how much your smartphone can accommodate. If your smart phone don't have space google will suggest to shrink the map to small year. 

I still remember when I came UK for studies 8 years ago, like any one coming in to a European country everything is beautiful and I easily get lost seeing beautiful places. 

At times my phones network speed was not upto my dreams and I had lost my way many times. 

Once me and one my friend Chikku had actually booked filim tickets and kept walking for the whole length time of filim, theatre was near by but we got lost in snow and round abouts, wish this update was there many years ago.

Every experience teaches you a lesson, even with a google map print out we could not reach theatre which is 20 min far away from hostel, next taxiiiiiii ;)

Any way that is past and now let me show you how to save google offline maps in iphone. 

If you are having Iphone/ any other smart phone  make sure you are having latest google map, latest version is 3.0.0

So once you have installed the latest version , make sure you have enough space in your phone to save offline maps.

Search for the place you want to travel and choose the mode of travel as well, it can by walking , cycling, or by car or public transport .

Once you finalised the to and from locations and mode of transport click on the small man in the corner.

In the next window scroll down and save the maps for offline use.

Some features in official terms of Google 😉

• Maximum download size: You can download up to 6 maps total as long as you have sufficient storage space on your device. There’s also a maximum size for the area you can download; if surpassed, you’ll be asked to zoom in to a smaller area.
• Storage capacity: When your device’s storage is at full capacity and can’t save the entire area, your phone will pause the download and show the message "Download failed. Storage may be full". You can resume the download after you’ve cleared some space on your device.
