Verdict
The one built for people who plan routes elsewhere and bring them along: it takes GPX properly, navigates offline, and records what you actually walked or rode.
Best for
Someone who plans on a computer and needs the route to survive the trip onto a phone with no signal.
Dealbreaker
By far the most expensive map here, and nine of the last two hundred reviews say tracking has drifted badly or stopped working altogether. That is a lot to pay for something reviewers say failed them.
The facts.
Pulled from the App Store, not written by hand.

Where we recommend it
Offline map apps you buy once ›Maps that work with no signal and charge once instead of monthly, each with its catch.
Alternatives with the same rule.
Every app here is a single purchase. None of them can start charging you monthly for what you already bought. Also with a catch.

Verdict. Forty-four of the last two hundred reviews are people saying the offline maps simply worked. For an app whose whole promise is working without a signal, that is the only number that counts.
Best for. Travelling somewhere with no data and wanting a map that behaves like one anyway.
Dealbreaker. Downloading the maps in the first place is slow, importing a GPX route often fails outright, and reviewers say the route planner has started freezing.

Verdict. A dollar, and it does the two things a walker needs: a topographic map cached on the phone and a track log that does not flatten the battery.
Best for. Day hikers who want contours and a breadcrumb trail and nothing else.
Dealbreaker. It is a tracker with a map, not a navigator — there is no routing and no turn-by-turn, so it will show you where you are and leave the rest to you.

Verdict. A travel map with a good reputation and, on the evidence of its recent reviews, a serious problem.
Best for. Almost nobody right now. It is here because it still turns up in recommendations and you should know what you would be buying.
Dealbreaker. More recent reviews say the offline maps stopped working than say they work — twenty-four against twenty — and four more say nobody answered when they wrote in about it.
