Applications to use GPS offline

Google Maps

Google Maps had to be first on the list. It comes pre-installed on all cell phones and is certainly one of the most complete. 

In the side menu, it allows you to choose a zone and download it so that we can query it through the cache without having to have a connection. 

Waze

Waze, also owned by Google, cannot download maps like Google Maps, but it can be used without any problems without an Internet connection. 

The trick is to favorite the places you're going to visit first, as the search won't be available without an Internet connection.

Maps.me

Maps.ME is another classic map for Android. In this case, we have an application with a more casual design, but where we will also have details about traffic and the main attractions. Their maps are based on OpenStretMaps, so the database will be enough for most.

Here WeGo

Here WeGo maps were one of the first to be available offline. We have our own maps available in more than a hundred countries and with very detailed routes. Initially recognized for becoming Nokia maps, it currently belongs to the group formed by Audi, BMW and Daimler.

TomTom GO 

The popular GPS brand also offers its complete maps via mobile devices. With TomTom GO Mobile we will have access to routes, traffic and radars. 

If we want to download the map, we can do so easily by choosing one of the areas and they can be saved on the microSD. More than 150 countries are available and the street map is very detailed and updated.

CityMapper

CityMapper is an application focused on providing us with information about public transport. It also allows you to access information offline, which is very useful not only when traveling, but also, for example, when using the metro and there is no coverage.

OsmAnd 

The best offline mapping app is based on OpenStreetMaps. OsmAnd offers us an application with access to links to Wikipedia, information of all kinds, speed limits, traffic, routes, vector maps, points of interest, maps for cyclists or pedestrians and much more thanks to an extensive collection of plugins .
