I’m surprised actually, as the storage used by app reached 170MB with 1 trip available offline with 2 destinations and about 6 saved places for offline viewing. I would expect the maps around saved places to be updated and available for offline browsing as well, however after testing the maps offline, it turns out this is not the case. Available for offline access are business address, some pictures, reviews and contact details. This section gathers all your saved choices for Things to do and Food & Drink. Reviews, pictures and contact details, all that is available in offline mode. Results are shown in categories and contain needed info to find the place or book a table. This is the maps usual Food places, this place works in the same way as the Things to do, with a focus around cuisine and drinks. I’ve learned from this section that the UK has a wild living population of wallabies, and I found a few places nearby I really want to see. I was able to see islands listings which were 3-4h away from my holiday destination. Listings in this section can be quite far away from the destination of your trip. You have access to the ‘business’ cards from maps of each POI and ability to store the info for offline browsing. Places of interests are presented in a random order, I was not able to see any patterns emerging based on my personal likes, distances or popularity. Available filters allow you to narrow down activity type to indoor/outdoor and distance. The main focus of this section is to present to you the most popular destinations in the area. It is a nice idea to see all your information in one place. Flights have access to Google Flight interface with updates, booking numbers and direct access to relevant emails. Here you can see all your flight, hotel and train reservations, with detailed information either pulled from the emails itself or the internet. All information can be stored for an offline browsing, including saved places, and nearby attractions. You can add locations and dates manually, smaller towns and villages nearby will be assigned to closest bigger location, if the separate entry is not available. Interface is pretty standard, resembling Google Keep in some way with its tiles for different functions. The Google Trips allows you to plan the trip using a calendar entries, or your actual reservations.
