How to download offline maps in the Google Maps app on Android[br][br][br]

[br][br]For the most part, downloading a map via the Android Google Maps app requires the same basic steps as you might find on an iPhone, with a few slight differences. Here's how you should proceed on an Android:[br][br]1. Open your Google Maps mobile app, and make sure you're logged into your Google account and have an internet connection.[br][br]2. In the search bar, input the location you want to save, and search it.[br][br]3. Tap "Directions," located in the bottom left corner - it will automatically use your current location as long as your Google Maps app has that permission enabled.[br][br][br]

[br][br]4. Swipe your finger from the far left side of the screen to open your menu (or tap the three lines in the upper left corner), then select "Offline maps."[br][br][br]

[br][br]5. Tap "Select your own map." From this screen, you can also open your offline map settings, which features options like automatically updating offline maps, and automatically downloading offline maps and changing your downloading preferences to WiFi-only, to save on data usage.[br][br][br]

[br]6. Tap "Download."[br][br]Just before hitting the "Download" button, you can also zoom in or out to capture specific sections of your route. That's useful if there are certain unfamiliar spots you need to be able to refer back to in case you lose your internet connection.[br][br][br]
