To download a map, tap on the More menu (three horizontal lines) in the upper-left corner, then select Offline Maps. Google will recommend some maps for you to download based on your home and frequent locations. You can also tap Select Your Own Map to download another area.
Esay accessable on android mobiles as well as ios


Ideal for navigating to the hills in your car, but Google maps are no use for navigating on the hills, they do not show contours or other land features such as crags, scree etc.
