Could you clarify what you mean? Here Maps allows you to download maps into your device and use it to navigate offline (without internet connection in devices with built-in GPS). I've been using this for (I think) more than a decade now and it works great. They also release maps updates frequently to download and update your maps. I believe Google maps has also begin offering similar offline map features.
