Google is bringing full offline access to Google Maps later this year

Fully offline access is coming to Google Maps in the future, along with turn-by-turn navigation and more.

At Google I/O today, Google announced that offline maps are coming to Google Maps later this year. With offline maps, users will be able to save maps and search for things with everything they’ve become used to with the online version of Maps. You’ll be able to browse reviews, hours, and even get turn-by-turn voice directions—all while offline.
