How to Download Offline Maps

To Download maps for offline use you will need to subscribe to a Hema Subscription. There are Paid and Free Subscription Options available.

  2. Tap on the three lines located on the top left to open a side menu.

  5. Tap on the name of the subscription you wish to download, and then tap on the orange subscribe button, If you subscription is free you will be taken to the list of state downloads, If the subscription requires payment, your APP store payment window will open and you can follow the app store instructions on purchasing a subscription.

  8. Once the state has finished configuring, please close (not minimise) the app and turn off any wi-fi or mobile data on your device. (We are mimicking an offline scenario, to make sure the maps work okay offline)
