Having the ability to view maps on a smartphone is quite a remarkable feature that has come up in the past several years, considering in the past we would need an expensive GPS device or a heavy map book. Unfortunately, viewing maps on a smartphone can eat up quite a bit of data, or it can be problematic to view a map when you don’t have a data connection.

Fortunately, for all the travelers out there who don’t have immediate access to a data connection, there is a way to download maps for offline viewing in Windows 10 Mobile. Here’s what you need to do in order to accomplish this:

  • First, go into Settings and tap on “System”
  • Tap on “Offline maps”
  • Tap on “Download maps”
  • Simply select the maps you want to download and you are done!

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
