NOTE: To download this map, you will want to click the rectangle in the top right corner of the map, which will open it on your Google Maps app. However, this will not automatically populate the map on your phone anytime you have Google Maps open, so to access it again in the future, click "saved" on the bottom part of the app, then "maps", and you should be able to see it as a saved map. __________ 📷 See ALL of our gear: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/gear/ 🚐 Our Van Life products: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/blog/v... 💻 Follow us on social media!
