The city maps can be used offline to avoid cellular data charges or surmount spotty network coverage. A map with nine levels of zoom can locate yourself on the map, even without an Internet connection. When used online, the maps are connected to a cloud back-end to allow users to pin, share, and comment on places. You can be pointed in the walking direction of places you want to see.
But information details from Wikipedia require internet connection.
