How to store a complete map area for offline use?

Before starting, be sure to have at least one on-demand map displayed. If you want to store more than one map at the same time, you can add the other maps as layers.

The store area tool will download all the map data for the area and zoom levels you have chosen, and store it on the device. The downloaded data is added into the single storage of its map. Any data already stored won't be downloaded or stored twice. At any time, you can check what is stored for a map, or delete its entire data storage.

Storing areas extensively uses map servers, be sure to only store areas you need.

Some map servers limit the amount of accessible data per day and per user (using IP address), storing large areas increase the risk of reaching the amount limit.
