Pino
Download Maps for Offline Use
In Pino, you download map regions once and use them offline indefinitely. Every region shows its exact download size before you commit.
In short Open Pino → choose a region → check the displayed size → download. The region is stored on your device and works fully offline from then on.
Downloading a map region
-
Open the map downloads screen
Pino lists available countries and regions.
-
Pick your region and check the size
The exact download size is displayed before anything is transferred, so you can decide on Wi-Fi vs mobile data.
-
Download
The region is saved to your device's storage — phone or Wear OS watch.
-
Go offline
Map display, search, routing and navigation now work without any connection.
Downloading maps to a Wear OS watch
Regions can be downloaded directly to the watch, where they are stored in the watch's own storage. Because watches have less space than phones, prefer specific regions over whole countries — and remember the size is always shown first. See the Wear OS guide for the full walkthrough.
Updating and removing regions
Downloaded regions can be updated when new map data is available (updates require a connection) and removed at any time to free storage. Removing a region never affects the app itself — you can re-download later.
How much space will I need?
It depends on the region — dense cities take more space per square kilometre than rural areas. Rather than quoting numbers that would go stale, Pino shows the real size in the app before every download. Our guide on offline map storage explains what drives the differences.
Map download questions
Does Pino work without internet?
Yes. After you download a map region, Pino works offline: map display, place search, route calculation and turn-by-turn navigation all run on your device without an internet connection. You only need internet to download or update map regions.
Does GPS work without internet?
Yes. GPS is independent of mobile data or Wi-Fi. Your device receives positioning signals directly from satellites, so Pino can show your location and navigate on downloaded maps even in airplane mode or in areas with no coverage.
Can I search for places offline?
Yes. Place search works on downloaded map regions without an internet connection, on Android and Wear OS.
Can I calculate routes offline?
Yes. Routes are calculated on your device using downloaded map data, so route planning and rerouting work without internet.
How do I download maps?
Open Pino, choose the region you want, and download it over Wi-Fi or mobile data. Once the download finishes, the region is stored on your device and available offline.
How much storage do offline maps require?
Storage requirements vary by region. Exact download sizes are displayed in the app before a map is downloaded, so you can check the size and your free space before committing.
Which countries and regions are supported?
Available regions are listed inside the app in the map download screen. A public coverage list for this website is in preparation.
Are downloaded maps stored on the device?
Yes. Downloaded map regions are stored locally on your phone or watch, which is what makes fully offline search, routing and navigation possible.
