However, the fact that the maps already pre-recorded in the phone will help soon, "explains Marcus Leal, Google Maps Manager for Latin America.
Google released maps offline in 2011 in the testing phase, and officiated at the resort in 2012 - but without explaining why, removed Brazil from the list of supported countries. In the meantime, the way was to use alternatives such as Here Maps. Google promised during the I / O 2015 event that would expand the functionality of offline Maps in emerging countries, and that's what happened.
The feature comes in handy, especially with these internet-cutting news after the end of the franchise. It never hurts to have a copy of the map of the region where you wanders over.
