It is possible to use Maps when the car is connected to the Internet and when it is not, but more services are available when you are connected to the Internet.
Same information in the car as on other devices
Linking your Google account to the active user profile also personalises the services for you to a greater extent. Destinations set on other devices are shown, such as home, work, favourites and last searches. If anything is changed on a device it is also changed in Maps, provided that the device and the car are logged in to the same Google account.
Voice control
Maps can also be controlled with voice control using Google assistant1.
