![]() ![]() This tells you that the app is saving the contents of the part of the map that you are viewing to the device so that you can access it while you are offline. Here you should see pre-loading maps and the loading progress in per cent in the search box. If you type OK Maps and hit search, another thing that is not optimal, you will notice that the application switches back to the maps display. ![]() This adds to the confusion as well as you are not sure if the command will work at all because of this. If that was not unintuitive enough, the search box will automatically jump to the suggestions screen as soon as you start typing in the O of the command. It is near impossible to know how that is done unless you have read the official announcement over at the Google Blog or have someone else tell you about it. So, instead of having a menu that you can click on to save a map to the device for offline viewing, you now have to enter OK Maps into the search to do so. It is not as intuitive as before and if you do not know what to do, you probably never figure it out on your own as it is simply not clear how it is done when you are using the Google Maps application. Google has changed the way how maps are made available offline. In fact, a tap on the menu button does nothing at all anymore. If you have been updated to the new version of the app already you may have noticed that there is no such functionality anymore. The recent update to Google Maps 7 changed the process significantly. ![]()
