Apple Maps lets you download maps offline, also check out Organic Maps which uses OSM - https://apps.apple.com/au/app/organic-maps-offline-hike-bike...

It's a new thing in iOS 17 - https://9to5mac.com/2023/06/07/ios-17-offline-maps-in-apple-...

Oh maybe it’s iOS 17 only? I’ve got the option there in maps to download any area offline and have the city I’m in downloaded.

I'm on Android so don't think Apple maps is an option.

As for organic maps, I tried it a while ago and it gave me some rather annoying directions. Maybe they've improved their route finding algorithm since then but I'm not feeling motivated to try it again just yet.
