Publication number: 20230409611Abstract: To provide geographic data to client devices for offline use, a system receives, from a client device via a communication network, an indication of a current location of the client device. The system identifies geographic data to be provided to the client device to define an area of offline coverage, which includes determining boundaries of the area of offline coverage based on an amount of geographic data the client device is expected to receive prior to reaching certain points within the area of offline coverage. The system provides the geographic data to the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2023Publication date: December 21, 2023Inventors: Paul Messmer, David Barth, Brett McLarnon, Jennifer Maurer

Patent number: 11741135Abstract: Geographic data corresponding to a certain geographic area of offline coverage is stored in a memory of a computing device. An indication of a geographic boundary delimiting a region smaller than, and contained within, the geographic area is obtained. A current location of the computing device relative to the geographic boundary is determined and, in response to determining that the current location is outside the region, additional geographic data is retrieved via a wireless communication network to expand the geographic area of offline coverage. At least some of the geographic data corresponding to the expanded geographic area is provided via a user interface of the computing device when the computing device is offline.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2018Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: GOOGLE LLCInventors: Paul Messmer, David Barth, Brett McLarnon, Jennifer Maurer
