Select the area you want pre-cached and then type on "OK maps"

They haven't incorporated a better way into the new maps app yet

Downloading Google Maps Engine lets you better manage the offline capability of Google Maps

There are applications that provide much of the functionally of Giggle Maps. Copilot and Sygic are examples. Minus the pretty pictures from space. Happy traveling.

I agree the two you recommend are better then Google off line. But, the OP is heading to Mexico (not recommend) and the others do not have maps available (I have looked).
OP, be safe, remember our Marine that's in jail there!

Lateck,

i didn't want to purchase another app.
just wanted to know how to save maps using Google Map.

i found it... "ok maps" works.
also
if you put a pin down on the map.
then touch the pop up info of the pin.
then scroll to bottom. there will be a save map.

it is adequate and usable.
but it does not save much info of the area. POIs and Business.
i would like an option.. when saving. quick or full details of area.. up to 100mb.
