How to use Google Maps Offline - Trail Navigation Tip
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- It is essential to have a good map with you when you hit the trail. If you want to use your smart phone, you will often find yourself in remote locations with no reception. That’s where Google maps can be very beneficial. In this video I discuss how to load maps in Google maps for off line use.

No, I didn't know how to use the Google offline maps,I'm old school, but I just learned some new school from you sir, thank-you😊👍👌
The best offroading information I have received in a long time, thankyou! :)
Learning this for the first time in June 2019, thanks bud!! So easy. Video was concise and really well cut.
Very helpful. I thought the first three minute contained good advice. People who grew up with digital maps may not appreciate what happens when batteries die, things get wet, things get dropped, etc. Smart phones are awesome but I'm not going too far off road without a real map. Good tips.
As a newbie to the Jeep community I am doing a lot of research to get ready to go hit the trails, appreciate the information and it was something I never knew about. Thanks keep up the good videos they have been helpful for me.
I'm one of the people who didn't know how to save a map for offline use, so thank you!
Thank you so much for this information. Thanks to you, I have discovered another tool for my hikes!!
Thankyou, I’m in that old school group too! I learned something today! Thanks again and Free!😁
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
Thanks very much. I will be using this for marking fishing spots!!! Great video.
Thank you so much. I didn't know you could do that. That's a great feature.
I've also used map caching for when I'm traveling out of the US in countries where I might not get a data connection or where the data connection that I might get is going to very very slow.
Another well done and informative video. Thanks for showing this.
Thank you sir!
Very helpful! I use Google Maps a ton but did not know how to do this. Thank you Brad!
I use topo maps on my nexus, doing the same thing downloading the maps so I can use them offline. I have a ram mount in my jeep that holds the tablet so it works awesome.
Right on man, thanks for the comments!
Google where can I buy garbage bags
Garbage bag?
I need to buy a few cases of garbage bags around Hopkins Minnesota where do I go I need to find a store that sells cases of garbage bags for the lawn leaves
Ram mounts are the bees knees , cats pajamas, tits on glass and slicker than hammered catshit
Google maps is definitely one of my top 3 iphone apps. Offline ability is icing on cake, and the app's driving directions with voice is retained, all great when in weak or zero cell coverage areas.
Thank you for the heads up with Google maps. I used the offline function today and loved it. Have a good weekend.
I always enjoy finding helpful hints about off-roading or my Jeep and Brad you've been my go-to person when searching UA-cam! Thanks for all the helpful info. Another Jeeper told me about an app called Forest Maps that works along the same lines as Google Map. I was out wheeling yesterday and my GPS in the Jeep sucked so I just went to the app and it got me out of a jam without even having cell reception. We were heading away from the main road and would have been lost for a while but the Forest Maps app got me heading in the right direction.
for me it is rare that a tutorial actually works for me, this really really helped. thank you
I'm a new convert to the Viewranger app. It doesn't rely on a 'phone signal and can do more than Google Maps, such as route planning and tracking. The free version has ads but I'm in the UK and chose to download the OS (Ordnance Survey) 1:25000 maps for the whole of the UK as an in-app purchase at approx $30 for the year and as a bonus, no more ads. Excellent value!
Cool!!!very helpful...love to get lost..lol...big help to find my way back...thanks
Thanks! I just used this to download Big Bear valley for biking/off-roading 2N08 and Skyline trail, sure beats the outdated paper maps.
Right one! Have a good time out there!
Thank you. I'm going to step it up from using sticks and shadows ;)
LOL.... sticks and shadows will never run out of battery power!
😅
Was watching your older videos, took a minute to figure this out with the updates since this was released, good to know. Thank you.
Thanks! I didn't know this yet and I appreciate you sharing!
When I do this, does it save all the layers like satellite and topography too?
Great tip!!! I didn't know this was available so thanks for taking the time to do this video!!
Thank you for the tip! Did't know about this off line maps!!
You are welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
I use all trails. Great app. Free version and upgraded version for $30 a year. I just purchased the upgraded version cause its on sale for this weekend for $15.00.
Great tip for google maps. I didn't know I could do that. Thanks for sharing.
I didn't know about it. I'm planning to go for overnight hiking tomorrow, so this information is helpful. Thank you!!!
Extremely helpful thank you.
Thanks - we're doing some EASY wheeling this summer at Moab and this helps.
Great tip. Thanks.
Cheers from France.
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome! Did not know this! Thanks so much!
I just wanted to add that when you do this the driving (directions work) "within the saved map" bring up directions and tell or type where you want to go, the directions will come up and just hit start and your route is voiced to you. I LOVE Google!
You did a nice job explaining this. I love it when people can explain something simple n a different context of what I might have thought of. I am going to post your URL to a few yahoo groups I know.

Thank you!
Thanks Brad...very helpful!!
Thank you for this. I'm always just a blue dot in a sea of gray with no reception out on the trails. Luckily signposting here is very good but this info is worth it's weight in gold.
Thank you. I use google maps all the time but didn’t know it had that feature. I will surly use this in the future.
First time I've learned how to download a map for backcountry use/hiking. Thanks.
Rad tip! Defiantly using it on the next trail! Thanks!
Awesome, glad it was helpful!
Thanks for that. Coincidentally we were at Mt Palomar in 2003 in an RV - very nice place to visit!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks I have learned something new from you. Good on you
Thank you very much I really needed this is what I was looking for
Thank you for this! Super helpful!
Good video...For many years we have used a Garmin Etrex and it is stable and has never failed. I did try my Android phone as suggested and it was a pain. The screen keeps changing. I tried pinning it but it was not as simple as the Etrex which has been specifically made for the job. Never the less a great video and handy to know. Many thanks.
I've been using maplets app as some of the off road parks have trail maps that will sync up with your phone's GPS as well. There are some public trails that also show up in maplets too.
Thank you for the tip. Very useful. I can add that it is useful when traveling overseas. The cellular data is expensive abroad, so downloading a map of a city in Europe via hotel wifi for a day trip will be handy.
Glad you found this useful. Safe travels!
THANK YOU! I have been struggling with my current GPS system and this will make a world of difference! Love the option of saving an area to be able to use later "off line". Very helpful!
Excellent.... I really thought I was the only one who didn't know about this! Thanks!
Thanks again. I'm going to use your tips this weekend. A buddy of mine are taking our Jeeps down to Ouray and Telluride Colorado for 4 days. This will come in handy.
A 4 day trips sounds amazing... have a great time!
I did not know about that, very cool, thank you
Thank you a really useful tip
I knew that I can save maps but never realized that also trials will saved there... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻
Great tip !
Great info....Thank you!!
Thanks man. Well done video
Thanks. Great tip. Great video
Awsome. Didn't even know about this. Thanks for the tip.
And we old guys are still learning something new! Oh, and I recognized the Lensatic compass from days of land nav! Semper Fi.
No clue here! Thanks! Really found it helpful!!!!!🙏🏻
Very helpful. Thanks
Great Video. I didn't know this. This was very helpful. Thanks
Thanks brad, I always knew this could be done but I’m going to try to use it for the first time out in the BLM today.
As always - thank you, sir. I found it very helpful! And it was F-R-doubleE! :)
Great content and thanks for the tips!!
When I download certain area maps in Google Maps and then use them offline, the satellite image is very detailed but only in a small area of my downloaded maps. Out lying areas are very blurry. Why.
I need satellite imagery where I go, why can I not get the area of my download map fully detailed ??
I have used the offline feature for cities in Mexico and it worked well for both driving and walking. However I did not know that you could zoom in to areas in the U.S. and get the trails - thanks!
Never mind, I got it. Thank you very much for the great info
I did not know this. We are taking a trip at the end of the month where we know there is no cell coverage so this will be very useful. Thanks.
Thanks for putting up,this will of helped a lot of people.
i'm glad i stumbled upon this video It's always a good day to learn something new. And thanks to the abundance of information👍
Cool! Thanks!
Hey!! Thanks for this video!! I did learn something today!! Cool!
This vid was lovely!
Great info, I did not know this feature existed on Google Maps. Thanks Brad!
Awesome, happy to help!
Very helpful thanks
Thanks! I didn't actually know this. Very helpful.
Great video!!! Thanks for sharing
excellent and informative vid. and good advice re having 'hard maps' as a backup...cheers from Australia
When I drove from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon National Park, Google Map asked me if I want to save 'whatever information' for offline viewing/navigation. I just clicked yes and yes. True indeed I lost cell signal nearing the park and inside the park but i never missed turn by turn navigation till I reached the lodge which was inside the park. I think Google also knows the probability of where you may not have a cell signal and can warn you ahead of time.
Did not know that! Thank you.
Can’t wait to try this out....I’m still learning Gaia with my iPad....so I can map a trail out then follow myself on the maps.
Thanks brother!!!
This is great info! Thank you a tone!
I just used it amazing thank you
Excellent. Thank you.
Very helpful, Thanks!

JB

I wish I would have known about it long ago... very handy!
HI Brad - What size\model iPad are you using today? I'm looking to get a new one and want to use it for over landing nav. Your setup looks great.
