Walking without internet
How do I prepare Walkable before travelling?
Short answer
Download the offline map region covering your destination while you still have wifi. Once it is on the phone, Walkable plans routes, draws the map and guides you there with no signal and no roaming data.

- Choose the region covering your destinationRegions are areas rather than single cities, so one usually covers a whole trip.
- Let it finish completelyA partly downloaded region is not usable.
- Test before you goPut the phone in aeroplane mode and ask for a short route in that area. If a route appears, you are ready.
