    Disable Offline Map downloads and updates


    Hello,

    If you browse to Settings>System>Offline Maps, you'll see the +Download Maps option, and further down, the "automatically update maps" toggle.

    How would one disable both of these from the registry?

    I'm starting the search in HKLM\System\Maps - but nothing that I've tried has worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    :)

    Download Offline Map using mobile Data Pack

    Nokia has disabled downloading maps over mobile data. You absolutely need WiFi to download maps for offline use.

    If you have downloaded offline maps, internet connectivity should not be required for viewing the same place on your map again. However check for available updates for the maps app and also updates for the offline map data(you'll find it in settings>system>offline
    maps).

    Disable Offline Map downloads and updates

    Have you ever downloaded a map.

    If not it will not update because you don't have any.

    Negative....still searching. I basically just don't want my users hammering the network with large DLs like these.

    Disable Offline Map downloads and updates

    Yeah, that disables the auto download and update....which is good. I'm trying to take it a step further by greying out the options for offline maps altogether.

    With that GPO set users can still manually download...
