Hey all, in addition to Peter's suggestion of Google Maps offline map downloads, I can recommend another app as a back up.
MAPS.ME is a standalone app for iOS and android that allows you to permanently download Maps for any area limited only by free space on your phone.
The maps are open source and free to download, and will stay on your phone until you delete them. It also offers searching, hotels, restaurants, highways and even dirt roads, does auto routing with voice command navigation too. Not as detailed as Google but pretty **** slick anyway.
My main nav is my Garmin276c, but the latest maps available for it are from 2013, so Google maps and Maps.me are really useful for planning and verification of a route, or when you need guidance and the Garmin maps don't show enough.
I did not have a data plan for my phone on the last trip to Mexico over Christmas so I did most of my basic route planning here at home, local route planning in Mexico on Google with Wi-Fi, and back up navigation out in the boonies with maps.me.
Hope this helps!
