You may want to check out OpenStreetMap.

For mobile, totally offline, uses OpenStreetMap data.

Nokia HERE WeGo[1] also does offline GPS maps. You can download whole countries as vector map data.

MAPS.ME looks really good but I know some areas around here don't have great OpenStreetMap data yet, whereas they do have complete road data on Nokia's app.

Cool! FWIW, around Pacific North West, I found OpenStreetMap data is significantly more detailed than Google's for hiking and pedestrian points of interest.
