Yandex Maps in offline mode

To use the app in offline mode, download the map.

If you want to plot a route that passes through several regions, download the maps of all regions.

How it works

Offline routes

Offline mode turns on automatically if your mobile signal disappears. Routes are built on the downloaded map without traffic, cameras, and road events, because the app receives this data from the web.

Select Schedule download and the map will download automatically when your internet connection is restored.

I lost my internet connection en route

If you lost your internet connection en route, navigation along the route will continue. Offline mode will turn on if you change your route. The app will plot a new route and guide you using the downloaded map. When your connection is restored, offline mode will turn off and the route will be rebuilt, taking into account the traffic conditions.
