How to save offline maps with Google Maps for mobile and how to create itineraries to save, share and consult even without an internet connection
In a previous post we saw how with the application
Google maps,
even for mobile devices you can download offline maps
personalized to view them even without having to connect to an internet signal.
In this article we will take two more steps. With the first we will see how
create a path in one of these offline maps and with the second I will illustrate how save this path on the screen
Home, to open it, if necessary, with one click and how to share them instructions via email or with a message sent via social media.
Saving a route on an offline map is essential if we are traveling in areas where the internet signal is weak, if not absent, while sharing is useful not to get lost if traveling in a group.
I haven't found a way to share the map tout court, but just how
share car routes to cover the entire itinerary. These indications consist of a text file that can be shared via social networks.
