How did I travel without this awesome technology?

It was no problem to find my way through the narrow labyrinths of souks (bazaars) in the Medina of Marrakesh.

Google maps offline is better, but only provides directions for automobile travel. It’s ideal if you are in a rent-a-car.

Maps.me is better if you are on public transit, bike or on foot.

For any new area I’m traveling I download both while connected to wifi. Then compare results offline.

Maps.me gets the data from community-based OpenStreetMap. It’s not as up-to-date or complete. But it does give you voice turn-by-turn navigation like Google.

I love them both.

The process of downloading an offline map is more complicated in Google. It’s one click on Maps.me.
