In my experience, anything within 10 to 25 miles (16 to 40 km) is a large enough map for practical needs. As you can see in the following screen, it’s around 70 MB. The more you “zoom out,” the larger the file size will be. The estimate is based on navigation routes and the street views for an entire radius built around your reference. Once done, click the “download” button.īefore you download the map, you will be informed about the approximate data to be consumed. You only have to drag or zoom out to increase the map area. In the next step you can see the area around your selected location. The other choice is to “select your own map,” which is a better idea. While on the offline maps screen, you can automatically download a map from “home” or a given address. Once you have painted a picture of the area in your mind, swipe the Google Maps side panel and click “Offline maps.” Fix your selection with the red icon marker. You can go with anything: a hotel, a hostel or a restaurant. Such a reference should be a visual landmark that you can easily remember.
