Recently, it has become possible to upload the cache to Google Maps for further offline use in places without Internet access. The function is very convenient for places where you will not be sure about the reception of a cellular data network. Today, this functionality is only available to users of the latest version of Google Maps on Android phones and tablets.

2. Activate the map caching function in the Labs section, where Google places its experimental novelties. To do this, press the hardware Menu → More button… → Labs.
