Check out the step by step to have access to Maps at all times:

- Make sure you have an internet connection and are logged in to your account;
- Search for a place where you would like to go;
- On the right side of the device, click on the 3 vertical dots and then on “More”;
- Then click “Download offline map” and enjoy.

If your connection Internet is slow or unavailable, offline maps will normally take you to your destination as long as the entire route is saved. What is worth remembering is that public transport, bicycle or walking routes are not available in this modality. Also remember that it is not possible to see traffic information, alternative routes or lane guidance without mobile data.
