Hi there,
I have Galaxy S4 which has Google maps pre installed, I was using navigation and my data plan ran out, I tried to capture the map to work off the net, but I could not get navigation on, How does navigation work with Google maps? Doesn't this feature only rely on GPRS? how can I get navigation to work with offline Google maps? Â
