    Offline Maps keeps downloading maps that are already downloaded


    Hi


    I have downloaded a quite a number of offline maps, however if I reduce the the offline maps window to the taskbar or closed the window and then opened it again it starts downloading all my maps again. They all show "waiting to download" while it downloads the first map in the list. It has done this on two occasions so far and it is chewing up all my data. I have metered connections and map updates turned off. I have also found the downloaded data is twice the size as to what the file size states. If I cancel this current download will this delete what has previously downloaded and end up with no offline map at all?


    Regards

    Debi Leigh

    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...

  3. Download Offline Maps in Windows 10


    Hi Shawn,

    I'm hoping you might be able to answer my question as the people at Microsoft Help couldn't *Sad.

    I downloaded 2 different maps to use offline. I wanted to switch from one to the other but could not work out how to do this. Every time I opened the maps app it opened to the original map I downloaded (Greece). When I tried searching for something on the other map (London) it came up with no results.

    Is it not possible to have more than one map to use offline or do you know how I can switch between them?
