Note
- Offline map imagery is offered through our outside providers and subject to changes they make to the terms of use and pricing. As we continue to work with these companies to provide the very best background mapping we can for our users, understand that this map imagery is intended to be saved and prepped per trip, used and deleted before going on your next trip, borrowing this imagery, versus storing indefinitely.
However, there are even more advanced ways to prep and plan for your trips, subscribe to our You Tube channel and join our Community Forum to learn more!
