Back in
July, Google began testing a new feature that would allow users to enable a
Wi-Fi-only mode for Maps, which would help those with limited or expensive data
plans avoid overages. Well apparently the tests went well, as Google has
started rolling out the addition to Google Maps on Android.
Wi-Fi-only
mode can be toggled on in settings and will limit the app to only working with
your saved offline areas unless you're connected over Wi-Fi, while the rest of
your device operates as normal. Maps for Android is also picking up SD card
support, allowing you to download those offline maps without eating up your
local storage.
The new
updates have begun rolling out to Android users now, but as with most Google
updates, it will likely take a couple weeks before everyone has it on their
device.
