Yeah you can only save map data that I know of and not routes. I would wager a 3rd party map app might do that though.Oh ok so it looks like you can't do it in "directions" mode. I assumed it would only download the relevant data for the specific directions, but this way works too I just selected a big square that covers what I need.
Google Maps doesn't use that much even for navigation. Try monitoring how much is consumed.Yeah so this turned out to work out, I predownloaded a map large enough to cover the destination area, and then doing directions worked offline from there with data turned off and GPS on. I rather do it this way then to use up all my data. Does not really take much to go over.
Oops... there was a mistake earlier. It's 20GB. And it seems fairly pedestrian in 2020.Wow 10GB I wish lol. Try 500MB. Does not take much to go over. I can't justify the cost of plans that are in the GB range. My home internet is unlimited and is cheaper.
But yeah I may need to look at a better overall solution, maybe even a dedicated device. Been looking for bush property and something with more features such as letting me plot lines or what not would be great. Even once I do buy a property something that I can use to know where on the property I am when building trails etc could be useful too. Phone GPS is not that accurate, at least not enough to ensure I'm at the corner of my lot.

It's included in my mobile phone plan: unlimited calls and SMS, 20GB data - for not exactly enormous $13/month.
I'm not sure where you're located, but you're probably being ripped off...
500MB - I haven't seen such tiny data plans since around 2010.
OK... so that's probably why I still see people from North America asking for offline maps, playing mp3 stored on the phone, caching Spotify podcasts etc. This is pretty much gone in most developed areas.To get into the GB range you have to pay $60+/mo. I had to switch to a discount provider to get this plan. A plan with one of the big carriers like Bell, Rogers etc ends up being way more.
