With Apple Maps on iOS 17, you can now save a region of the map locally on your iPhone. If you often travel through cellular deadspots, especially applicable to some highways and suburban areas, having maps available offline is a nice safety net so that you know you won’t get lost. Offline maps are useful when travelling abroad, but also at home when you can’t always rely on a network being available. Apple Maps now lets you download a maps region to store on your device, and use entirely offline for navigation and routing without an internet connection. That feature gap is now closed with iOS 17. Google Maps and others have let you download maps to be available offline for a long time.
