HERE Maps by Nokia had offline maps, including search & navigation, over a decade ago. At the time Google had only offline maps with tiles and some POIs, no navigation or similar things.

i loved the HERE Maps when i had a Windows Phone. we navigated two countries in Europe without ever needing to turn on data roaming. this was back in 2013 i think? it was mind-blowingly good to navigate from one end of the country to the other end using just offline maps.

Here Maps is still available on iOS and Android with offline maps. Owned by an EU auto consortium and well maintained.

Well, not if you like your maps to have Japan in them, since it doesn't.

There might be such regulations, but they're much less strict than South Korea if so.
