In support.google.com i read that after some days(about 14 days) google map automatically delete the offline maps.
I have 2 questions :
1 - if i online only for example 1 minute in google map , does this time reset? Or all of the offline maps will delete willy nilly!!
2 - how to prevent this Limitation of days? I am usually in trip for 1 month and need offline map and can not connect to internt
I can't answer your questions but I have had my offline map saved for over 14 days and it seems to still be working just fine. Why not try a offline navigation app instead of google maps?

i've installed googlemaps beta and is wonderful but to use this software as tomtom is too expansive (sownload map from internet). it's could be possible to go with offline map?
thx
As far as i know... no.
The google maps downloads the map data on the fly (as you scroll).
I have a 5GB data plan, so it's not a big problem for me
yes, on the fly.
in france, we have illimythic, it's an unlimited data so it's perfect for google maps, rss news, internet .... and it's only 6 euros more than a normal subscription.

You lucky ......
You might wanna read up on this post for using google maps offline
search for a software named: Terracrosser.
Search google for a program called Google Navigator lets you download maps on phone you can select an area of a map and it will download that area with all zoom levels and views, its very good. Plus it has neat features like street view (before google maps had it) kml creation and other stuff.
Use the google navigator.

Is it worth my $59? I really want offline satmaps, might try the hacks (proxy to download map tiles, not the illegal hacks of Navigator)

Which is now called Global Navigator... this program uses google maps info to feed and allows offline map support, you can also download a certain area of the map at a defined zoom level. its great!
There is a news regarding that it will be possible to use Google Maps offline.
I have heard this news two days ago. Is it possible now? Is it true?
If not, is there any way to do so?
Thanks by now...
Is there a place to download all US map info for the GPS feature on this device? I got lost today and it wouldn't ever establish a new route because I "lost data connection", but it continued to track my position just fine.
I would suggest using an alternative app. I use google map but have copilot as a backup. The copilot let you download and store maps on the device. Google map let you cache map tiles but to cache the whole US probably to big a file. If you must use Goole map only, check out the Brut's version

Do you happen to know when they last updated it? I Bought for my WM phone a couple of year ago & was really disappointed. That was because my address of 7 years couldn't be found. I ended up sending it back & sticking with TomTom. Unfortunately we are limited with Android with gps programs with down-loadable maps.
With the new version of google maps you can go to Labs (from the menu) and enable a limited form of map caching. It downloads 10 square miles around the area you long press on and you can use it without a signal. You can store up to ten so I basically stored my local area and popular places I go.
Google's obviously working on map caching and this is the first sign of it. Give it a shot and see if it works for you.
Double posted by accident... don't know how to delete.
Let me tell my requirements first:
1) I use maps for finding a location, and finding directions only. I am not an advanced map user.
2) For me, Google maps does the job. It saves the maps on sd card, but the problem is after some days, they just vanish. Something like map cache.
3) I need Offline maps, and I know Locus lets user to download maps to sd card, ( and I guess they won't vanish like Google Maps Cache). I have Locus installed. But I found Locus too complex to use ( compared to Google Maps, where I would just load the area and that area remains on my sd card((but vanishes after some days as I said))
I read some tutorials but couldn't follow them well, ( I'm a basic maps user) I need Locus just for offline sd maps, so that when I'm with someone, and I have to take that person to say a new restaurant, I don't want to wait to find that place, direction, etc stuff)
I need these things from locus to save on my sd card:
1) Certain points of attractions (restaurants, places etc.)
2) Directions to those points from my home
3) Maps of my city
So Please anyone tell me step by step guide to download NOT JUST maps but those certain points of attraction and directions to those places fro my home. using Locus.
I can take screenshots, but those image files don't help much.
I read somewhere that they have plans for offline maps(no not the labs one)
Locus Pro is now taking money in order to let you download vector maps ... :crying:
.... but Google Maps added support for offline maps
Time to switch from Locus to Google Maps !

Orux Download Maps is Easy
I am using OruxMaps after I switched over from Locus
It has a fairly simple map download that works very well for me.
The only confusing part is which layers to choose, I usually go for the last 5-6 levels and get them all.
Here's a video on how it works
youtube.com/watch?v=MdE6tUkhnH4
You can use MOBAC for downloading maps (http://mobac.sourceforge.net/). Save it as "RMaps-sqplite" format and store in maps directory in Locus. You can select this map in Locus now.

google map can't update locations
Not sure if it related to Mate30Pro or not. My Google Map can't update current location. While some other apps are working fine such as Waze or Tulip Sports, but not google map. Right upon it is launched, map can get the location. But immediately...

Hi,
there is any way to make Google Maps works without the mobile phone with the non LTE version?
I mean my watch 4 have the GPS sensor, if it is connected to the city WIFi, I'm able to open Maps, see where I'm, but when I select a destination point it doesn't start the navigation.. Y?
Then, there is any way to download some Maps area to use it offline? Would be very useful to running without mobile phone..
Thanks!!
Same question...
I can't believe that Google redeveloped this application and still left it in such a poor state. I don't know why you can't use it offline in the slightest - you'd think the most powerful smartwatch going would be able to navigate at least basically by downloading offline maps to the watch - there is plenty of space for it.
You can't even appear to move the map around when navigating...
Currently if your phone dies for any reason you have no chance of navigating out with Google maps on your watch.

I agree. Currently you can create offline maps in Google Maps on the phone app. I do this quite a bit because I'm in areas without mobile data. It would be great if they had a feature in Google Maps (phone) where you could download the maps to your watch. It currently lets you download them to SD card. The map that I use the most which covers much of the state of Wisconsin is only 300 mb.
What is even more maddening about the Google Maps watch app is that it does not work when you are running google maps on phone with offline map (with no mobile data). At the very least you would think the watch could use the offline map on phone.
You mentioned your concern of phone dieing and navigating out. Navigating out of what? There are map apps which you can download maps to your watch. I have not found a free one but ViewRanger looks promising. Not sure I'm ready to pay $40 a year though...
My watch has 4G connection but i don't know how to use map without my phone.

I don't have the LTE version, so can't vouch for this personally, but this might help:
unfortunally this is not working in my case. i have the same settings turned on but the watch still want my phone to be connected
Unfortunately, the method shown also did not work for me.
When connected to the phone (S9), my Galaxy watch4 (non LTE version), allows me to search for locations on the watch, but Google Maps also opens up on the phone, so I have the required maps and directions both on the phone and on the watch.
Together (connected), they function without problem.
Away from the phone, after opening Maps on the watch and searching for directions, all I get is a blue dot on the centre of the watch screen and a message "Waiting for location..." until, after a minute or so, an exclamation mark shows up above the message "Couldn't get location".
Is there any solution to "navigate" with Maps independently from the phone?
Only thing to do is be as loud as possible until google actually fixes it. Having no offline map when the older samsung watches had it is outrageous.

The method shown on video was for a LTE watch. Regarding a solution for navigating away from phone, unfortunately not. The ideal option would be for there to be an option to move offline maps (which currently can be created with Google Maps on your phone) to your watch. The file sizes are not that big. Another thing that would be nice is if they allowed you to navigate with non-LTE watch connected to phone which was using offline maps. Currently this does not work. The phone needs data (LTE or wifi) in order to navigate on non-LTE watch with Maps.
Is there any alternative app that works standalone?

I was going to suggest open street map, but it doesn't appear there is a wearOS version.
OsmAnd — Maps & GPS Offline - Apps on Google Play
Navigation on hikes is no longer a problem. Download the map, put notes and go!
play.google.com
Simple OSM Viewer - Apps on Google Play
Open street maps and OpenTOPO viewer with drag, zoom, and my location options
play.google.com
You might be able to at least make a vector PDF of a map of an area and view THAT somehow on the watch.
I don't understand how it is not possible yet to use an online or offline map on the Galaxy Watch only. Specially a GPX Reader with your current position (like GPX Viewer)
Offline
https://www.reddit.com/r/WearOS/comments/ugk8jw
There is an excellent app called "Maps" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.trackwear.maps) which has ability to download maps for offline use. You select square of area which you want to be downloaded and that's it. You can even select do themes of maps like Satellite view with street names or something else like terrain.
I am also searching for offline maps and without Phone...
Somebody tested the Pro Version with Germany?

Thanx in advance.
