On the afternoon of April 3rd, it was announced that Gaode has comprehensively upgraded its offline navigation capabilities, with "intelligent, lightweight, and all-environment" as the core. They have reconstructed the offline navigation experience, allowing users to navigate without internet connection in all travel scenarios. Previously, offline navigation mainly served the driving scenario, and in navigation scenarios such as public transportation, cycling, walking, etc., when entering areas with weak or no network such as underground, tunnels, or mountainous areas, users often faced issues with route planning or navigation interruptions. After this upgrade, Gaode's offline navigation will expand from a single driving scenario to cover public transportation, subways, trucks, motorcycles, cycling, walking, and other modes of transportation in all scenarios.
