as title.

I want to know if I can still search for business and not just street data while offline. For those instances when I'm out of mobile/WiFi coverage. Thanks :)

ps. I don't have the app yet and with my slow internet and data limits, I cannot easily try and download the app + the offline maps which around 1GB+ for me. :)

You're going to need GPS for that. And GPS will use cellular data. It will show routes, but I don't think it shows businesses. Download it and check it out for us.

I have the Here app and have it set for offline use only. I figure with Sprint as my carrier I would need it when I go out of town. I went ahead and downloaded the US map but you can download smaller sections like just a state. It shows some businesses on the map and I was able to search for gas stations, hotels, and Walmart offline without any issues.
