Give it a try and let us know how it worked for you!Īs a reader pointed out in the comments, you can also clear cached data any time. To create a localized Google Earth cache file manually: Start Google Earth while connected to the Internet Go to Tools - Options, and select the Cache tab. This is a great trick for iPad users who only have WiFi but still want to use Google Maps for directions while traveling.

You'll now see a message at the bottom screen confirming that the area you've selected has been cached for offline use.

If you receive an error message that the area couldn't be cached because it's too large, try zooming in to a smaller area.

You'll see a screen with the Google icon showing that it's processing the area for offline caching.

Now in the Search bar type in Ok Maps and hit Search.

Find the area of the map that you'd like to cache for offline use either by pinching to zoom in and out or entering an address and making sure the screen is zoomed out enough to capture the area you'd like to save.

Launch the Google Maps app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
