Windows 10 Offline Maps

With Windows Phone 8, Microsoft integrated Nokia mapping as part of the platform. It allowed more detailed maps and turn-by-turn directions in many countries, plus the ability to store maps offline on your phone so you can work with maps without a data connection. Users were able to update the offline maps whenever Nokia releases new map updates. Microsoft is bringing this same feature to Windows 10 as well. It was revealed in the recently leaked Windows 10 Build 9888. In Settings app, you now have Maps in which you can download a new map for using it offline. Similar to what we have in Windows Phone 8 already, user can choose the map region which he wants to download. Also, he can check for updates for the downloaded maps and update it when available.
