I was wrong about Pokemon GO.

Go into Google Maps, open the menu, and go to Settings.  Go to Offline Maps, and then click through til it gives you a map screen.  Pinch/push to your desired map area, and then click OK.  It will tell you it will take up to 500MB to download.  I did most of Massachusetts and it only took about 80MB on my phone.  It auto updates over Wi-Fi, and if it can't, it expires after 31 days and you have to redo it.  From what I can tell, the download limit would be based on how much space you have on your phone.

Edit: A link for the how-to that is probably better than my explanation: https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6291838?source=gsearch&hl=en

Thanks.  I read on twitter after reading this that it doesn't work but no reason was given.  How odd.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Start as a hater for no reason, and now you love it? Shame.

And I still can't play it. Shame.

I didn't "hate" it, just thought it looked gimmiky and wouldn't deliver - like most hyped to the moon products.  And even if I did, why is it shameful to admit to/learn from misjudging something?  It's like calling the kid who answers the teachers question wrong an idiot.
