First of all: Apple's Maps do not have a real offline function, as offered by competition Google Maps. The iOS app "Maps" has no feature that stores map material on the device memory. Nevertheless, you can use a navigation system with little tricks even without the Internet. You can find out how to do this in this article.

How to use Apple Maps offline

In order to use route navigation with your iPhone without the Internet, you have to pay attention to a few things with Apple's map app. First of all, you need an internet connection before starting the journey for which you want to use a navigation system. So if you are already on the road, you need to ensure a working connection at least for a short time. This can be, for example, in a restaurant or a shop with free WiFi access. To then set up offline navigation, follow our step-by-step instructions or take a look at the brief instructions .

1st step:

Open the Maps app and enter your desired destination . Then start a route navigation by first selecting the type of transport (on foot, by car or by public transport) and then tapping on " Go ". The route is now shown as a blue line.

2nd step:

Now zoom in on the map so that you can see all the streets clearly. In order to be able to use the route offline, you now have to " drive " the blue line once to your destination in order to load the map material into the memory of the iPhone. Once that is done, you can use route navigation without the Internet. Even if the mobile phone goes off in the meantime or you are using another app.

quick start Guide

  1. Open the Maps app on your iPhone.
  2. Enter the desired destination and then select the type of transport ( on foot, by car, public transport ).
  3. Then tap on " Route " and zoom in on the map so that all roads are clearly visible.
  4. Now follow the route from the starting point to the destination. This means that the map data is temporarily stored in the cache and remains there even if you lose your internet connection.
  5. Now you can start and navigate to the destination without an internet connection.

Note : Only the map section that you previously displayed is saved in the cache. Even if the smartphone should go out in the meantime. Other apps can now also be used without hesitation..
