Hey @MathanVibranarayan, thanks for the feedback! Glad you found it helpful.

You’re right to ask about India-specific usability. Most features do work here, but some features like Ride-Sharing, AI-Powered Recommendations, Immersive 3D View are limited to few countries yet. Project Greenlight isn’t really a thing here yet, and HistoryPin might have less India-specific content.

@giteshsharma You’re welcome! Glad you found it informative.

From my experience, they’re usually pretty reliable for basic navigation, they use the same map data as online maps, so the foundation is solid. But, like any offline information, they can’t reflect the very latest changes.

Offline maps are a snapshot in time. They won’t reflect recent changes like new roads, closures, or points of interest that have been added since you downloaded the map. So, for the most up-to-date information, an online connection is always preferable.

Searching for specific places or addresses might be limited offline. You’ll generally have better search functionality when you’re online.

While navigation works offline, real-time traffic data and alternate route suggestions won’t be available. Offline routing relies on the map data you downloaded.

Offline maps are great for basic navigation and getting around when you don’t have data, and the accuracy for core navigation is usually good. But for the best experience, especially if you need the latest information or want to search for something specific, an online connection is recommended.
