# Using MyWay without an internet connection (Offline Mode)
Planning your route and navigating to your stops when you're offline.
MyWy Route Planner can work offline and allow you to do many different operations while you don't have an internet connection. However, there are some operations that require an internet connection like adding stops, route building (current order and optimization), and route reoptimization.
This is what you can do to make MyWay operate offline.
### 1. Plan your route when you have an internet connection
MyWay needs an internet connection to
* Add stops
* Optimize your route
We recommend doing these steps when you have a reliable internet connection. MyWay doesn't require an internet connection for the rest of your route.
### 2. Download your area for offline navigation
If you lose connection during your route, make your area available offline in your navigation app. This will ensure that you can still navigate to your stops as usual.
How to make your area available offline:
* Instructions for [Google Maps](https://support.google.com/maps/answer/6291838?co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid\&hl=en) (recommended)
* Instructions for [HERE WeGo](https://here.freshdesk.com/en/support/solutions/articles/24000068342-how-can-i-download-and-use-offline-maps-)
* Instruction [Apple Maps](https://support.apple.com/en-nz/guide/iphone/iphcfb5f5bc6/ios)
* *Waze currently doesn't support offline maps*
### 3. Now you can navigate through your route in offline mode
Once you've downloaded offline maps in an application you have chosen and have your route optimized and started, you'll be able to press Navigate in MyWay, and navigation will work even when you're without a connection.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.mywayroute.com/faq/using-myway-without-an-internet-connection-offline-mode.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
