Streaming vs Download

Which Is Better, Streaming Or Downloading?

Neither is always better. It depends on where you are going and how reliable your connection will be.

When Should I Stream Maps?

Streaming is useful when:

• you have a good connection
• you want quick access without managing storage first
• you are browsing or planning rather than committing areas for offline use

When Should I Download Maps?

Downloading is better when:

• you expect poor or no signal
• you want predictable performance in the field
• you want to avoid relying on mobile data

Can I Use Both?

Yes. A common setup is to stream while planning at home and download key areas before travelling.
