Is there a maximum on the amount of offline maps one can download?

In preparation for a road trip, I am attempting to download a large portion of the United States onto a phone I use as a GPS unit and I am consistently coming across a limit to how many offline maps I can download. It just won't let me hit download to get any more maps, if I delete an area I can download another area but only one.

The phone's storage capacity should not be the issue as there is still over 10 gigabytes of space available on it. I have cleared the app data, app cache, and even reset the phone to the factory settings and started over from scratch and it still will not let me download any more than previously. The phone is an android galaxy and seems to have no other issues with Google Maps.

I have waiting over a week before attempting to download more maps to see if there was a temporary ban because of how much I was downloading but no matter how long I waited it wouldn't let me download any more area. I cannot seem to find anything about a hard limit to the amount of offline maps you can download anywhere but at this point I am stumped.

Hi, David Scannell
 
Welcome to Google Maps Community Support Forum & thanks for your post.
 
There is no documented limit on the number of downloads.
Nevertheless, can you free up another 10 GB & see whether that helps?

The phone still states that there is 17 GB left and I have downloaded and deleted other stuff to check if it was an internal space issue. 

The limit that I am reaching is 25 offline maps.

Hi,  David Scannell
 
Thanks for your reply.
 
 I first said there is no documented limit.

Nevertheless, your reply made me test the limit.
Here's the message I got when I tried downloading the twenty-sixth map.


Surprisingly, you never got that notification.
