In this article I will show you an update of the last hours that made Google Maps for its version of Smartphone and Tablet
You should know that only 40% of the globe, there is a cover to the Internet, this means that for the majority of the world population Internet is not usable
It is not even said that those who have a network coverage then can navigate safely, because much depends on the incoming signal and the area in which you are located
This is an issue that aims especially in unfamiliar places or when we travel, places where an interactive map we could really use
From now on, Google Maps allows you to download an entire region on mobile devices, unlike previous versions of offline maps now will still be available the interactivity with the map despite the lack of connection
This means that if you downloaded a specific area and you are no longer connected to the Internet, the browser, and directions will still work!
In the past it was only possible to see an area in the offline mode, you can now travel without internet connection
Not only that, you have all the relevant details that you normally when connection is available, as dates and opening hours, contact details and reviews
To download a specific geographic area just look for a place that can be a city or another, and click Download tab side, or "Areas Offline" menu of Google Maps and click "+"
After the download, when Google Maps will reveal that the connection is no longer available then you will be automatically taken to the offline maps, you will be taken to the online version (which has only the most real-time traffic) once the connection is restored
By default, the Google Maps app download maps only when connected through Wifi to not waste too many Mega, but if necessary you can change this option
This change has been uploaded yet only on Android devices, but very soon will come also for Apple
