In South America early 2018 I quickly learned that most every tourist was using the free maps.me app every day.
I was using Google Maps offline.
Google has the best map data in the world.
Maps.me uses Open Street Map data.
Soon I was using both apps and comparing the results. Google Maps offline might be better but it’s far more complicated. You must define the exact square area you want to download. Files sizes are huge.
Maps.me does only one thing. And it does it well.

Offline it uses GPS to pinpoint your location.
Surprisingly some hiking trails are included in the Open Street Map data.
