Tired of Google Maps notifications alerting you to “Rising Foodie Stars?” Me too. Here’s how to turn them off.
Back in June Google Maps got better at pointing out nearby things to do, which is great. But the notifications about these new features are intrusive and annoying.
If you’re going where the Internet is slow, mobile data is expensive, or you can’t get online, you can save an area from Google Maps to your phone or tablet and use it when you’re offline.
Downloading offline maps isn’t available in some regions because of contractual limitations, language support, address formats, or other reasons.
