Offline Map of Sri Lanka

Ceylon Loop includes an offline map of Sri Lanka. It shows every place in the app as a pin on the island and keeps working when you have no signal, no data plan and no map download.

How the offline map works

• Open Ceylon Loop once with internet so the places are saved on your phone.
• The island and province outlines are drawn inside the app, so there are no map tiles to download.
• Drag to move around, then pinch or use the plus and minus buttons to zoom.
• Nearby places group into one pin and split apart as you zoom in.
• Tap a pin to open that place with its photos and visiting tips.
• A live location dot shows where you are. Your phone's GPS works without mobile signal.

What it is, and what it is not

This is an island overview map. It helps you see where places are and how far apart they sit. It is not a street-by-street navigation map. For turn-by-turn directions the app opens your maps app, which needs internet.

When it helps most

• Hill-country drives and train rides where the signal drops.
• Remote beaches, national parks and quiet villages.
• Saving mobile data while you travel.

Plan around the map

Start with the top attractions or the hidden gems, then group nearby places into days with the Sri Lanka travel planner.
