How To Use Google Maps & Apple Maps On The Go Without An Internet Connection

Data plans can be exceptionally expensive and carriers will often bar messaging and call services from being used over them. You know you can’t use your carrier’s data plan to FaceTime mom and will instead have to pay the carrier a different call rate. Your carrier’s data plan will let you browse the internet, Tweet, post to Facebook, or find a place on a map. If you’re using a small data plan and trying to conserve bandwidth, the maps app is one place you can cut back. If you use either Google Maps or Apple Maps, here’s a little trick to using it offline.

This may be obvious to many people, but believe me there are many I still see that think you must be connected to the Internet to use these maps. Newer features now also include voice navigation so that you do not have to keep glancing at the phone. A data connection though will in addition give you real-time traffic routing, but many will be grateful to just have good basic free offline GPS functionality.
