I either forgot how, or you can't do this: cache maps

I'm traveling the Turks & Caicos islands Saturday, heading board a dove bot for 7 days with my P4 using Go 4 software.

There will be almost certainly no internet in the area I'll be flying.

Is there a way to pre-cache the google maps for the area before I go?

Thanks in advance

Yes. Now I'm presuming you're using an iPad so open the map on the app on the islands and then press the home button which'll close the app and the map will be cached. I guess there is a similar method for android devices. You'll certainly get some beautiful footage and photos on your trip...enjoy!

Best is to create hotspot at site with your phone and connect your tablet to internet thru it to get the maps of the actual site.

My iPad has cellular+data, I guess I could open the app, without flying, while on the island just before getting onboard the boat ... scroll around a bit and make sure i "see" the entire area and hope that the cache is large enough for it all.

That is, if one can get 3 or 4G on the island and at a reasonable data package cost too...

Typically you can at the airport.

That's why I asked if I can do it while here at home. Scroll the area perhaps

you can in the go4 app - open the app, click the three bars in the top right of the 'white' intro screen and select offline maps - you are then prompted to download the maps you want

HTH

I do not see "Offline maps" when I click there.

Strange......I get 4 options - Scan QR Code, Academy, Offline Maps and Store

iOS version here: I see "Flight records, Academy and Store"

Strangely, I have version 4.0.5 yet the latest is 4.0.6 - yet it's not updating... always has in the past

 

[Drestin Black]

On your version (which is?) how do you access flight records?

 

[andy_k]

I'm on Android App V4.05 (213-gp Tablet) and clicking on the icon just above the 'disconnected' shows the flight records - the icon your version duplicates

I've got an iPad mini 4 that has Cellular data and Wi-Fi and I can't get my maps to load on the mini pad. iPhone 6 loads fine.
