It lets you select the area to download, and you can download multiple maps if you're travelling to different places. The offline map works off of your GPS signal instead of your mobile data, so while you won't have traffic updates, you will have the basic navigation functionality without using any mobile data.
yup thanks. i've done the offline maps thing before but it turned out i didn't need to in the canadian rockies, cell service was good enough and i guess the caching and cache ahead is adequate there.
