Today, Google Maps is a platform that allows you to travel anywhere in the country or the world, whether you know the route or not. Simply enter the location into the Google app, and Google Maps will provide the complete route. Google Maps has also eliminated the hassle of stopping at various locations and asking people for directions. But do you know how Google Maps works if your phone doesn't have internet? However, you don't need to worry too much about this, as Google Maps can be used even without internet. Let's learn how to use Google Maps without the internet.

First, download Google Maps.
For offline use, you'll need to download the Google Maps app to your device, as the browser version doesn't work without internet.
