Walking without internet
How do I download or prepare an offline region?
Short answer
Open Walkable's offline maps screen, pick the region covering the area you want, and let the download finish. It is a large file, so use wifi and give it time.

Common problems

Start it again on a stable wifi connection. A partial region is not usable and will not be used.
There is no region for my area
Coverage is still growing. You can ask for an area through Walkable Support, and recording works there regardless.
