Google Maps Super Heavy Update: Offline Maps

Google Maps Super Heavy Update: Offline Maps
Google Maps is a map service loved by many people (and it is also very expensive). Today we have welcomed the new Android 8.0 version, which has many highlights and many shortcomings. In this version, offline maps are finally back. In fact, Google Maps 6.x and before had this function, but it was inexplicably castrated starting from 7.0 (and many other functions were lost). You can only browse to the corresponding area and cache it for use. This change has attracted countless saliva. Now, Google has finally complied with public opinion and allowed users to save and manage offline maps by themselves, and they can also name them before saving. No more worrying about wasting time and traffic when you are out. Other major updates include: - Detailed navigation will show distance, arrival time, alternative options, and compare the time difference between different options - Transit bus search results can show the total walking time in the trip, as well as the time of the next bus or train - After logging in, you can view the "Places to be reviewed" list in the places you have recently saved or searched - If you have Uber (a foreign taxi service) installed, you can open it directly from Google Maps when comparing route plans - Navigation mode supports alley guidance (only in the United States, and parts of Canada and Japan) - Search filtering, including price, opening hours, etc. - Bug fixes In addition, the interface of the Navigation navigation application has been adjusted to be more in line with Google's current style.
