Use Apple Maps offline - is that possible?

If you also want to use Apple Maps offline, this only works to a very limited extent. The navigation app is clearly designed for online use. We'll show you how to find your destination without an internet connection.

iPhone, iPad, iPod: Use Apple Maps offline

You won't find a download button in Apple Maps. However, you can still save individual map sections with one trick:

• Open the Maps app on your iOS device and move around the area or the whole city on the map. You don't have to drive every single street.
• The area already viewed is saved for a certain time. The map section remains saved even after a restart. However, an update from iOS does not survive the cards.
• In this way, you can use the desired area offline while on the go. However, the search and navigation do not work. The GPS order also leaves something to be desired: In theory, it should also work without the Internet, but this did not work in the test.

The competition does a lot better here: In the next practical tip, we will show you how to use Google Maps offline on the iPhone.
