> Maps.Me
Has several useful functions like being able to pre-download specific countries or parts of specific countries.
Many mapping apps work offline but the way Maps.me lets you specifically pick & choose areas = more user friendly.
It uses Openstreetmaps which I've found to work amazingly well in areas where you wouldn't expect (it has off-road trails in remote areas of Vietnam for example)
via iTunes I can also import gpx tracks (or gpx converted to kml, I forget) for things like mountainbike routes, which works super well.
