Hi Guys,

Few weeks ago I bought a new Nexus 5.

I open Maps/OK Google and cache an area....so far no prob...BUT...When I am off line I am not able to use this cached area.

Also, is one able to name the cached area?

Thank you in advance.
 
Are you using "Ok maps"?

I just cached an area, closed out of maps, turned on airplane mode, and don't have any issues viewing the cached area
 
Thank you for your reply Rxpert83.

I am using "Google Maps"

When I go off line I can open cached map but If I choose to travel from "My Location" to "Xxx Place" it says "No network Connection".

So basically I am not able to use the cached map when I am off line....Thank you
 
If you are trying to search for something within the cached map, that won't won't.

However, you should be able to explore around and use it as a map while offline.
 
You won't get turn by turn navigation with data off. There are other apps which will do that, both free and paid, but not Google Maps.
 
ahhhh, I thought Google Maps would work for this particular purpose.....Any Free app you would recommend?
