Offline maps are stored on your device and are also displayed when there is no internet connection. All the map material you see in the app has already been downloaded and remains on the device until you delete it.

With the new “Manage Offline Maps” view, you can not only see which maps are available at which scales, but you can also selectively download them to your device or delete them from your device.

Plan trips with your own timing.

Give your route a start time.

If you have set a start time for your route, add a marked place close to the route named something like "Rest for 15 minutes" or "Lunch break 1h 15". If the name of the marked place contains the word "break" or "rest" and a time as digits, it is automatically recognized and applied to the route.

Use the "Guide" to see when you arrive and where. For example, whether you can still catch the bus or the last cable car down into the valley.

To zoom in and out faster, use three fingers to pinch or spread them together on the screen.

Information is always displayed at the bottom of your screen.

This view can be resized.

Slide the window down if it covers your view on the maps, slide it up to see more information.

In the menu under "Show on map" various object types can be added to the map. POIs and public transport stations can be marked with a tick. They will then be displayed on the map.

To quickly display other POIs of the same type without switching to the menu, tap the corresponding icon in the information window.

Long press on the screen. Select "Show overview map" in the menu. Or tap the map with three fingers at once. A small map of Switzerland opens.

On the small map of Switzerland, the place you are currently looking at in the center of the screen is marked with a crosshair.

Zooming in and panning of the map is possible.

If you tap on the small map, the map will move to the corresponding location.

While the overview map is active, routes, paths and marked locations are not displayed on the map. This may be handy if you want to see the map without any objects superimposed.

For additional functions that vary depending on the context, press and hold (long press) on the map.

For example, if you tap on a route like this, you can replan or duplicate it.
