When you got the update you can download parts of Google Maps to your mobile to use it offline. Google maps says you can download different parts. From cities and regions to whole countries. The possibility to download a map is only aloud when you are connected to WiFi to avoid high data bills. On the maps includes also, highlights restaurants, opening timetables, rating and stores.
