Well, Windows 10 is definitely the best desktop operating system out there. Compared to every other desktop operating system, Windows 10 has more features and options. Not many would know that Windows 10 comes with a Maps app that lets you search for a location, get directions, see the point of interest, etc.’

Although the maps app requires internet connectivity to show you the turn-by-turn directions, it can be used offline. So, if you don’t have an internet connection on your laptop, you can still search for locations, get turn-by-turn directions, etc., with the offline maps feature.

The offline maps feature of Windows 10 is actually hidden under the Settings. The feature allows you to download maps for apps to use when you are not connected to the internet. For instance, the native Maps app can use offline maps to show you places or directions.
