MANCHESTER, UK - Purple, a global leader in digital connectivity and guest WiFi, has launched Offline Maps Mode within the Purple App - giving users reliable navigation and trusted connectivity even when cellular signals fail.
Users can now download regional maps directly to their device, cutting through the frustration of data dead zones and keeping key features accessible wherever they go.
Key features include:
- Seamless Map Downloads - Save specific regions to your device, with clear file size and expiration indicators to keep information current.
- Background Sync - Downloads complete without the app needing to stay open.
- Offline Search - Find landmarks and navigate with precision, even in airplane mode.
- Proactive Alerts - Instant banner notifications if a connection drops, so you’re never caught off guard.
Security is central to the update too. Offline maps highlight verified WiFi hotspots, helping users find trusted connections and reduce reliance on unverified public networks - all while cutting personal data usage.
“Offline Maps Mode is a game-changer for anyone who’s ever been caught without signal at the worst possible moment. We’re making sure the Purple App works as hard for you offline as it does online.”
— Sam Allen, VP App Growth, Purple
