I am a plan-a-holic when it comes to travel, and I have taken to creating custom Google maps of all the places I might want to hit. It's awesome for walkable cities like NYC, because if we wander into a particular neighborhood my pins will show if there is a shop or restaurant I'm interested in that happens to be nearby.
But when we were in Canada this summer, my pins wouldn't load, even though I had saved the maps so that I could access them offline. I could still pull up Google Maps of the areas I had saved, but my map pins weren't there, which was kind of a bummer. As soon as we crossed the border back into the US, my pins reappeared, so I'm thinking it was some kind of prohibition from Google. (Like how we couldn't access certain shows on Netflix while in Canada.)
Now I'm planning for a trip to Paris next month and I already have a map full of recommended shops and restaurants, but I'm afraid the pins won't load again.
Has anyone successfully used My Maps out of the country? I pulled up several articles, but none of them confirmed that they worked for foreign travel.
Thanks!
