In the off position, offline maps will only download over Wi-Fi or unlimited cellular data. By default this feature is turned off and it’s best to keep it that way. Now scroll down to the Metered connections subheading. Clicking on the drop-down menu will show all possible locations where your maps can be saved. Look for the subheading Storage location (this option may not be available to all devices) and the drop down-menu under “Change where you store offline maps.” By default, it should store your maps in the “C” drive, but if you have a tablet with an SD card, you may prefer to save it on the removable media. Before we download any maps, let’s make sure you’re saving them where you want. Open the Settings app and go to System > Offline maps. So go ahead and add stars to locations whenever you see them and want to remember them for later.Note: This tip shows examples for Windows 10 on PCs, but it works exactly the same way on Windows 10 Mobile.
If you have any starred locations on the map, they'll carry over into the offline map, too. You should be able to zoom in and out easily. Scroll down to the section labeled Offline maps. To get at your saved maps offline, open Google Maps (again, you'll need to be signed into your Google account ahead of time) and tap the three vertically stacked bars (the hamburger menu) in the upper left. When prompted, name the map however you want and hit Save. Unlike a screenshot, Google Maps lets you zoom in and see more detail in the map once it's saved offline.
The app will prompt you to zoom in or out to capture the area you want. A new screen will appear, and you'll see three vertically stacked dots in the upper right corner. Tap the bottom of the screen where the name of the location is shown. In East Coast terms, it's about from Yonkers to the bottom of Brooklyn. To give you an idea of the distance, it's roughly from the Golden Gate Bridge to Redwood City. Note that you can only save maps smaller than 50km by 50km (that's a little more than 30 miles squared). It could be a business, a building, or just the name of a town. Search for the name of the location you want to save offline. Make sure your device has an Internet connection, and sign into your Google account.
