Hello,

Is there a way to download larger offline map areas (e.g., state) in iPhone's iOS v17?

Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

As the saying goes, "There's an app for that". Try a search in the App
Store.

The free offline OSMAnd+ app (at least on Android) can download the whole
world if you can if it on your expansion card (at least on Android).

While iOS is always limited in both hardware (e.g., sdslot) and software
(e.g., OSMAnd~), certainly it can download states & countries on iOS.

Or did you mean the Apple Maps app alone?

While Ant didn't mention the app, I'm guessing (s)he meant the native Apple Maps app (and not an offline free map app such as OSMAnd+).

Ooops. I forgot. OSMAnd~ is only free on Android. It costs money on iOS.

You also conveniently "forgot" there are plenty of others that *are*
available and *free* on the App Store, like Avenza Maps:

<https://apps.apple.com/us/app/avenza-maps-offline-mapping/id388424049?uo=4&at=11l6hc&app=itunes&ct=fnd>

Yes, you're *that* "forgetful"... Sure. Your trolls are as weak as your
mind, Arlen - and just as boring.

Heh heh heh... you're too ignorant to "one up" me, Jolly Roger.
It's insulting that you even tried.

Remember, I've written multiple tutorials on mobile-device offline maps.
<https://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android/search?q=avenza>

Guess what: Avenza only allows two map files for free, Jolly Roger.
After that, Avenza costs money.

But there are workarounds to that two-maps-free limit (see my tutorials)
and there are other similar solutions which would depend on what Ant needs.

Ant still needs to clarify if (s)he was asking about the specific Apple
Maps program or a capability which is outside that Apple Maps program.

Heh heh heh...

You also apparently "forgot" that Google Maps, Maps.me, CityMaps2Go,
Guru Maps, and a slew of others on the iOS App Store offer offline
capability, and most of them are free.

But you're not interested in actually helping answer Ant's question,
which is why you're trying to have your little pissing contest instead.
Your only goal by posting here is to troll the Apple news group as
usual, and you immediately insult and belittle anyone who calls you out.
Your 24/7 trolls here are proof that you're a mental weakling and a
pathetic emotionally stunted person, Arlen. You always have been, and
most definitely always will be.

No well-educated person has a poor memory, Jolly Roger, as they wouldn't be well educated if they couldn't grasp rather fine detail when necessary.

You forget that I had been keeping up on offline maps from the start.

For example, take a look at this thread from way back on Nov 10, 2015.
*Finally Google bows to pressure to offer offline routing*
<https://groups.google.com/g/misc.phone.mobile.iphone/c/1rVgt7toJtM/>

Although it's likely Ant was asking about the Apple Maps app instead.

But you're not interested in actually helping answer Ant's question.

You're wrong Jolly Roger - as _every_ post from me on this thread has asked
Ant to clarify if (s)he was asking about Apple Maps or some other map.

which is why you're trying to have your little pissing contest instead.

You're wrong Jolly Roger. From the start, I instantly (and quite correctly) surmised (and stated, usually with humor) that there's no way to help Ant unless and until s(he) clarifies _which_ map app (s)he was asking about.

Your only goal by posting here is to troll the Apple news group as
usual, and you immediately insult and belittle anyone who calls you out.

Heh heh heh... you're the one who didn't realize Ant could have been asking about the Apple Maps app - not me. I realized that issue from the start.

We can't help Ant until that important clarification is responded to.

Your 24/7 trolls here are proof that you're a mental weakling and a
pathetic emotionally stunted person...

It is interesting how vicious you are, Jolly Roger, where it would benefit
this child-like Apple newsgroup if you & nospam went back into the corner.

Please take Alan Browne with you; then the quality of this ng will go up.

My goal on the Apple newsgroups is to understand and inform people of the
truth about Apple products - and - to show the iKooks for what they are.

Nah. Way better things to do than read your public masturbations.

But you're not interested in actually helping answer Ant's question.

asked Ant to clarify blah blah blah

I'm sure you'd love me to ignore the fact that the rest of your posts
only serve to criticize rather than help, but that's not going to
happen.

which is why you're trying to have your little pissing contest
instead.

there's no way to help Ant

Of course there is - you're just not interested.

Your only goal by posting here is to troll the Apple news group as

out.

Heh heh heh...

Pathetic. Your trolls are so fucking weak it's sad.

Your 24/7 trolls here are proof that you're a mental weakling and a
pathetic emotionally stunted person...

It is interesting how vicious you are

Says the one who has attacked iPhone users in *every* single response in
this thread. Like bullies, trolls *always* claim they are supposedly
"the real victims", and you are doing so right on cue. You aren't even
original - just a lame copy with no imagination. Just sad.

And yet I've helped answer more questions in this Apple newsgroup in one
week than you've answered correctly in your entire life, Jolly Roger.

Think about that before you respond.

Then notice Ant's request is _verbatim_ the same as this from "antdude".
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255261062>

Titled:
*Is there a way to download larger offline map areas (e.g., state)*
*in iPhone's iOS v17?*

Body:
"Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)"

BTW, there are two kinds of people on this newsgroup, Jolly Roger:
a. Normal people, and,
b. iKooks.

Normal people might purposefully helpfully respond to the original query.
While iKooks only complain how much they hate the truth about Apple.

That's what I've learned from your valuable inputs, Jolly Roger.

It would take me but a second to plonk you like I plonked Snit and Rod
Speed and Alan Baker, Jolly Roger - but you add value to this newsgroup.

The value you add is you consider every truth about Apple to be an attack.
This is useful because it's a very strange attitude all iKooks portray.

Hence, I love to study your responses to even issues as innocuous as Ant's request for how Apple Maps (presumably) can download larger offline areas.

While Google Maps has done it differently over the years (from pre-defined-sized tiles to tiles as large as you can fit with corresponding Venn overlaps merged), the question to answer is how Apple Maps does it.

This "implies" you can get "larger areas" but not that you can choose an
area by name (e.g., the "state" - which is what most offline apps use).
*Download offline Maps on iPhone*
<https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/download-offline-maps-iphcfb5f5bc6/ios>

Notice there is nothing in Apple's own description about named areas.
Hence, we can tentatively conclude Apple Maps can't possibly do it.

But maybe there's a way, Jolly Roger.
What do you think?

Can you find a way for Ant to download a named area such as by state?
--
The main problem with iKooks isn't so much that they're incredibly stupid,
but it's more that they have no purposefully helpful bones in their body.

Hi Ant,

From the answer to your question as "antdude" to the Apple users...
<https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255261062>

Titled:
*Is there a way to download larger offline map areas (e.g., state) in iPhone's iOS v17?*

Body:

Apparently Google Maps can't do it either.

A key difference between a normal person and an iKook is the normal person actually owns a helpful attitude toward people asking product questions
while the iKooks only cares to defend Apple's honor against all threats.

And yet you haven't helped Ant in this thread. All you've done is troll
with your little pissing contest hating on iPhone users, because that's
your only interest.

Do you mean from Apple Maps or can you use another app? You can have all of the US and Canada with CopilotGPS and I think JR told you some other ideas.

Okay sorry I can't help with that but maybe you'll think about a different app sometime.
