Offline maps might be Google Maps’ most underrated feature. With foliage season around the corner, and plenty of remote spots in New England offering epic visuals, I’ve been making maps for my next few weekend road trips. Last weekend, driving up into Vermont, I suddenly lost my signal and immediately remembered that I had forgotten to build an offline map of northern Vermont. I’ve made the mistake myself a few times over the last year or so. It’s a fairly obvious point, but it’s one that you may not remember if you don’t plan ahead. The more remote your location, the less likely you are to have a strong cell signal. Whether you’re driving into a National Park in the Utah desert or peeping foliage in the woods of eastern Maine, you’re always better off with an offline Google map in your back pocket. So even if you lose service, you won’t lose your way. Sure, you could rely on old school paper maps or AAA TripTiks (remember those?), but it’s easier to create and download a custom offline map in Google Maps.
