asked on

iphone offline downloading

1. How do I download Google maps for my iphone so that I do not incur international roaming charges when going abroad?

2. Is there an offline web browser for the iphone that does what Internet Explorer [did] or does?

Thanks.

Here is how to disable your network connection and use the wifi network instead.

once disabled you should be able to use your wifi network for downloading avoiding the charges....

Hope this helps

I dont think that will work.  The GPS mapping on the iphone works in real time right?  Can I then for example, download all of the google maps for Australia, UK etc, so that it is stored in my phone rather than wanting to access the 3G internet in real time and thereby incurring charges?

Thanks, the comment I suppose was kind of obvious to me but I just wanted to check to see if anyone knew of a smart way of downloading it.  Still looking for an offline browser however.
