Offline GPS Apps That Work Without Internet

This post will discuss offline GPS apps and how they work. Besides, it will introduce you to 5 offline GPS apps and their main pros and cons.

Those apps can help you when you have no bars or no service for money issues. So, if you like to go to places where reception is bad, maybe keeping one of those as a backup in your phone isn’t a bad idea.

They are a nice idea if you are on a phone budget and can’t afford to be online every time. In this special case, it’s highly recommended to have at least one of those apps installed so you don’t feel lost and without means of locating yourself late at night, for example.

Without further delay, here are the top five offline GPS apps:

Google Maps

Even offline, Google Maps can help you guide yourself through the streets. It is one of the most used offline GPS apps and one of the most complete ones.

It’s 100% free to use and native to some phones, so it is even easier to use it to get out of trouble.
A little observation: Google Maps becomes less complete and precise when used offline, but it’s still better than nothing.

TomTom GO

TomTom Go is a perfect option if you need to work with offline maps and has good storage on the phone. It works nicely, especially in a local sense, and offers good and updated maps for a lot of places.

The catch is: you can use the local version for free, but the international version is paid. If it’s ok to use it just locally, it works fine, if you can handle the memory usage of the app, which is much bigger than the average, since it has all the maps available offline.

Maps.me

Maps.me “kinda” works offline. It offers navigation in a pre-loaded map, but if you leave the region, you need to go online again to load the new map.

The maps are big enough for most of the local trips, but if you need to go long distances, you will need the internet to find yourself again. Even with this little inconvenience, Maps.me is a free offline GPS app that can help you in a tight spot.

CoPilot GPS

Co Pilot GPS is the app every driver should have on their phone. It’s one of the few that works by voice command, allowing you to be guided, basically, “talking” to the app.

It helps you find relevant places like restaurants, gas stations, and ATMs. If you use it online, you get real-time information about traffic and other relevant info.

Another good feature is signalizing restricted areas for big truck traffic, which is great for truck drivers doing unknown routes.

Here WeGo

Previously called Here Maps, Here WeGo is a good offline GPS app because of the detailed level of its maps.
If you need to know the specifics of some region beforehand, this is the app.

On the other hand, this is an app that needs some preparation to work properly offline. While still connected, you need to let it know you want to go offline. It will save the information for further use and allow offline navigation.
