  2. Search for your work area (e.g., Edson).
  3. Tap the “Download Map” button at the bottom of the screen (scroll sideways if needed).
  4. Adjust the area you want to download by zooming and dragging.
  5. Hit “Download” to save the map for offline use.
  6. Repeat these steps for any other areas on your itinerary.

For Apple Maps (iOS 17+):

  1. Open the Apple Maps app.
  2. Search for your work area (e.g., Edson).
  3. Select the “Download” button at the bottom of the screen (pull up the address card if necessary).
  4. Customize the downloaded area by zooming and dragging.
