What "offline" actually means

Most travel apps go blank the moment you lose Wi-Fi. WayCrumb keeps your whole trip on your phone, so it works the same in a subway tunnel as it does at home.

One-tap map download per destination

Before you fly, download the offline map for each city on your trip. Streets, place names, and labels are saved to your phone, so the map opens instantly, even in airplane mode.

Every pin travels with you

Your saved places, including names, addresses, photos, notes, and opening hours, are saved the moment you add them to a trip. Open your itinerary at 30,000 feet or in a subway tunnel and everything's there.

Offline walking directions to any pin

Tap any saved place and get walking directions from wherever you're standing. GPS works without data, so you get a real route with no cell service and no roaming charges.

Automatic sync when you're back online

Anything you save, edit, or check off while offline syncs the moment you're back on Wi-Fi or signal. No lost edits, no duplicates.

When you'll actually use offline mode

On the flight

Review tomorrow's itinerary, reorder pins, and add notes for your travel group, all in airplane mode. Everything syncs the moment you land and connect.

Abroad without a SIM or eSIM

Landed in a country where you don't have a data plan? Your map, pins, and itinerary work exactly as they did at home. Buy an eSIM later, or don't. Everything works offline.

Deep in the mountains or a dead zone

Hiking trails, remote islands, underground metros. Offline maps and cached pins keep working anywhere the network can't reach.

How to set up offline mode (3 steps)

  1. 1

    Open each trip and tap "Download for offline" for every city on the route.

  2. 2

    Make sure your itinerary is finished. Pins, days, and notes all download with the trip.

  3. 3

    Switch to airplane mode and open the trip once to check that everything loads.

  • Downloads live on your phone. Delete any city's map whenever you need space.
  • Works on cellular, Wi-Fi, or completely offline with the same interface.
  • Your data is safe even if the app crashes offline. Everything is saved on your device.

Frequently asked questions

Does WayCrumb work without internet?

Yes. Once you download the offline map for your destination, your entire trip works with zero signal, including all your pins, notes, itinerary, and walking directions. Anything you change offline syncs automatically when you reconnect.

How do I download an offline map?

Open your trip, tap the map, then tap "Download for offline". Pick the area (city, region, or custom radius) and the tiles cache locally. You can download multiple areas per trip — one per city on a multi-city itinerary.

How much storage does an offline map take?

Usually 30 to 120 MB per city, about the size of a few songs. A typical city area covers a 20 km radius, and you can delete downloaded maps any time from the trip's offline settings.

What still works with zero signal?

Viewing all pins with photos, addresses, notes, and hours. Viewing the itinerary and reordering it. Getting walking directions to any pin. Checking off places as you visit them. Adding new pins from the location log. Reading your travel history.

What needs a signal to work?

Pasting a new URL (needs to fetch the page), forwarding a new email (needs the server to parse it), inviting new collaborators, and syncing changes back to the cloud. Everything queued while offline sends automatically once you reconnect.

Do offline maps expire?

Downloads stay on your device until you delete them. WayCrumb prompts a refresh every 90 days so your tiles reflect road and POI updates, but the old copy still works until you refresh.
