▶️ How to use Google Maps without an Internet connection on your mobile

We depend on the mobile phone and the internet for many things and, especially, when traveling it gets us out of a lot of trouble. But what if we go to an area without much coverage or where connecting the data is expensive? We tell you how to use Google Maps without an Internet connection on your mobile so that this is not a problem on your trip! These tricks can also help you save data and battery on your mobile. As? Well, if you always move around the same area, for example, you can download the map to be able to use it offline and, thus, not have to "pull" data every time you get lost or need to look for an address.

How does it work? Well, once the map is downloaded, it will be saved in your phone's memory, so you can consult it whenever you want; simply entering the app, as you would normally, but without using mobile data.

To take into account: There is certain information, as explained by the Google Maps support itself, which you will not be able to access if you are using the app offline. These are, for example:

You will not see the information to arrive by public transport.
You will not be able to see traffic information.
As well as other information, such as crowded areas in real time.

But you can search for locations, see routes, how to get to a place on foot or by car, etc.

How to use Google Maps without an Internet connection on your mobile

To find out how to use Google Maps without an Internet connection on your mobile, the first thing you have to do is download the map of the area you need(we will explain it to you step by step in the next point). And also touch some settings of the application, so that when you open it it does not "pull" data. It's very simple, look!

Enter the application and your profile icon, as seen in the image.
In the dropdown, select “Settings”.
Once inside, press “Wifi Only”.

In this way, when you open the application it will not use mobile data, but will directly open the “offline” mode of the maps you have downloaded. Let's see how it's done!

How to download the map of Spain in Google Maps to use it offline

We are going to see how to download the map of Spain in Google Maps to use it offline,but the following steps can also help you download maps of specific cities, areas, or even other countries. Of course, you will not be able to do it with all corners of the world, so if you are going on a trip we recommend that you check it before arriving at the place.

As Google's technical support explains, “in some regions, offline maps cannot be downloaded due to contractual limitations, language support, address formats, or other reasons,” so more It is worth preventing. The steps to check it and download a map are the following:

Enter Google Maps and by the name of the region, city, etc. that you want to download. In this case we are going to do it with Spain, although it is also possible, for example, by Spanish provinces.
Slide the screen up until the three dots appear in the upper right corner and press them.
You will see the option “Download offline map”: Press!
And that's it, the map will be saved by default in your phone's memory and you can use it offline whenever you want.

Google Maps offline error

There are some application failures that occur more or less frequently, and one of them may be the Google Maps offline error.In fact, one of the most common errors is precisely that you don't have a connection and that's why Google Maps doesn't work. Something that, in theory, we would have solved by downloading the map of the area. But what happens if then it also gives us an error? Let's look at some of the most likely causes:

You have not saved the map correctly, for example, due to lack of space on your phone. If you insert an external DS memory card into your mobile, you can save the maps there (do it from the Google Maps settings), so you don't have space problems.
That the zone you have downloaded, for the reasons we have given you above, does not have accurate or updated information. Or, precisely, that it's been a long time since you downloaded the map and you need the new version.
That you have left the area that you have downloaded. If, for example, you have downloaded your neighborhood and you have passed a few streets, you no longer have the information on your map, so the offline mode will not work and you will have to activate the data again…
