Where Does MapFactor Store Offline Maps?

MapFactor keeps downloaded maps, favorites, and routes on-device with free OSM data. Download regions over WiFi before driving.

Last updated

MapFactor navigates offline from free OpenStreetMap data without accounts. Downloaded regions with turn-by-turn routing, favorites, and recorded tracks persist in local app storage. Truck profiles tune routing per vehicle.

That makes map packs plus manual favorites the migration story. Exact folder names may vary by version. OSM data updates monthly; refresh regions before long trips. Lane guidance needs GPS lock fast. Offline search finds addresses. Speed warnings chime optionally. Truck profiles need dimensions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I download offline maps?

Open map management and download each region over WiFi before the trip. Maps consume serious space per country, so prune afterward. Favorites survive map deletion.

Do favorites transfer to a new phone?

No. Favorites stay per install without accounts by design. Screenshot places before switching phones and re-add them manually. Routes export as GPX for sharing.
