Lose your connection and the map stays calm: a clear offline state instead of broken tiles, while the rest of your trip keeps working. Google Maps only ever loads once you allow it.
Graceful offline
Drop offline and you get a clean offline state, not a wall of broken tiles.
Maps stays optional
Google Maps loads only with your consent, nothing third-party before that.
Trip stays usable
Your plan, costs and notes keep working after the first online load.
