How to use Maps offline
Save data charges by using Maps in offline mode
To help keep data charges down – for example, if you are travelling abroad – you can use Maps in offline mode. This stops Maps from automatically connecting to the Internet to download new information.
In offline mode Maps will still use a data connection to find your position using A-GPS or Wi-Fi networks. To turn this off so that Maps doesn’t use any data traffic at all, change your phone’s Positioning settings.
These functions do not work in offline mode:
-
Satellite and Terrain maps
-
Real-time search for addresses and places of interest
-
Real-time traffic and safety updates
-
Share your status, photos and location on Facebook
-

Synchronise your locations with Nokia Maps on the internet
To switch Maps to offline mode
- In Maps, select Settings > Internet
- Select Connection > Offline
