# Yandex Maps in offline mode
{% note info %}
In offline mode, only the [schematic map view](https://yandex.com/support/m-maps/en/customize-map.md#type) is available. You can plot car, bike, scooter, and walking routes.
{% endnote %}
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 {#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.

## FAQ {#faq}
{% cut "How do I enable or toggle offline mode?" %}
You don't need to manually enable offline mode: the app automatically switches to it when your device has no internet connection.
{% endcut %}
{% cut "What should I do if my previously downloaded maps are missing?" %}
This can happen if you change your SIM card, system language, or SD card. Reinstall the app or clear your search history: ** (profile icon)** → **Settings** → **Clear search and route history**. Then redownload the map.
{% endcut %}
{% cut "What should I do if my offline maps no longer load after I remove the SD card?" %}
Reinstall the app or clear your search history: ** (profile icon)** → **Settings** → **Clear search and route history**. Then redownload the map.
{% endcut %}
{% cut "Why are my offline and online routes different?" %}
When connected to the internet, Yandex Maps assesses the traffic situation and plots the optimal route. This isn't possible without internet, so the routes may differ.
