When you view a map, you use data traffic to get an Internet connection, and data is transferred to your device. So it's a good idea to save a map and make it available offline before you take a trip. This way, you can avoid high roaming costs.
The Google Maps™ application requires the use of an Internet connection when used online. You may incur data connection charges when you connect to the Internet from your device. Contact your network operator for more information. The Google Maps™ application may not be available in every market, country, or region.
