bookmarking inside google map

mahmoodn — Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:22:56 GMT

Is it possible to bookmark on the offline google map? While I have a data connection, I want to bookmark a place/avenue/street so that when I m on the road (without internet connection), I can see the bookmarked place.

I didn't find a wy to do that! every time there should be a connection and I have to search the palce.

with the latest Google Maps update, you can.

Open google maps > select the area that you want to see offline (part of the city) > MENU > Make available offline

you can create a map either on your computer or phone and then make it available offline, and of course marking certain places

Ok I now understood what you were asking, if you don't have a data plan/wifi you can not add anything to the map as Google Maps needs to look for the address (online), you can add them before hand

In another word, at my office where I have internet connection, I find an avenue. Then I want to bookmark this. later on the streets, with the GPS and my current position, I want to know if I am close to the destination or not.

so is that possible?

yes you can use GPS w/o a data plan, I use this when I go abroad (I don't want to pay international data fees) as long as the city it's available to be viewed offline

So, this is what I want to know but don't know *how* to do that. Can you take a screenshot or tell me the procedure?
