Limitations
Cannot search or use navigation
Your saved map area includes streets and maps data. Zoom in to see a detailed view of your offline map.
Certain features, like satellite, terrain, indoor maps, and 3D buildings will not be available offline. Features that require a network connection, like directions and Navigation aren’t available offline, either.
Tip:
Since you cannot search an offline map, it’s easier to save several smaller maps covering the same area.
For example, if you're traveling to a big city, you can save a map for each neighborhood you're visiting. Name the map after the neighborhood, so that you can easily find it later.
Expire after 30 days
The live Google Maps data are constantly updated. Your saved maps need to be updated at least once in every 30 days. If you don’t update them, they’ll expire and be removed from your saved maps list.
Data and cost
Maps are free to download, but phone and carrier data rates continue to apply. Loading a large map could use a lot of data, and cause your device to run slowly as well.
Cannot see the “save” button
Some geographic areas can’t be saved.
