We reported earlier in the week on s slew of updates for Maps but in
case you missed it these apply to all Windows Phone 8 handsets. Windows
Phone 8 has been designed with the ability to download and install maps
that can be used offline.
From time to time these will get updated with improved detail or just changes that normally happen to maps over time. Unlike other updates the maps don’t appear to have a push mechanism so you’ll have to kick the process off manually. Read on to find out how.
The ability to download a map for offline use has a few advantages. The first being you will always have access to a map regardless of if you have a mobile data connection or not. The second is that even if you do have a data connection you won’t burn up your precious data allowance re-downloading maps over and over.
