Which GPS App you use that supports offline map?

In any event, I am glad I am off Google Map. It was too cluttered with advertisement.

I utilized the feature on a road trip some time back. But then I was annoyed that some weeks after the app demanded that I accept the notification of app's desire to delete stale maps. No other option.

May or may not be of some use to you regarding the original question of navigating without network.
One app that I did use often (when we were still allowed to move freely!) is Backtrack.

What this app does is let you save your current location, and then shows you with a compass the direction and distance to any of the saved locations. It's a lot simpler than fiddling with a navigation app when you just want to know how far you are away from your hotel, for example.
Last time I checked, you can to store only current GPS locations. So you can't upload a list of way points, which sucks. App is still useful to me, as I said.

You won't get turn-by-turn GPS navigation for sure, but pretty reliable.
