Download maps offline with Google Maps v8 With the latest version of Google Maps (v8.1.0) I am trying to download offline maps from Spain, but I am having no success.

This was doable in previous version in a simple way, but I can not find a solution with the latest version.

Can someone lead me to the way to achieving this?
Open the google-maps application.

Select an area you want to save the map for. Once the red pin appears you will have the street name at the bottom of the screen and the 'route' icon. 

Swipe this white box upwards.

One of the options is Save map to use offline
