Sometimes you still need navigation and destination info when you’re offline. Google is delivering just that with offline Maps. Even when you’re not connected (or in airplane mode), the app will still provide information on places in your searches. This means that you can browse hours, reviews and other important details for places like museums and restaurants. What’s more, voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation is included as well for maps that you’ve saved for offline use. Unfortunately, there’s no word on when the new tools will arrive other than a vague “later this year.”
