Galileo Pro has evolved from a good working offline map .. to a really stellar performer. It's under constant development so the features keep getting better while the maps take up the least space imaginable. It's also one of only two apps on the market that imports and exports GPX files correctly. I have walked well over 1000 kilometers in Spain using this app. Get it!
Great GPX logger, compact OSM maps

Since the late 1990's l've used various handheld GPS loggers, usually Garmin, for weekly hikes around the region and far afield. Galileo is the first app good enough to use a phone instead, for all except extreme or multi-day outings (where a phone is too fragile for dependability). It records GPS logs with basic statistics and has a good-enough filing system to accumulate and organize logs and waypoints. Logs are overlaid on its maps and can be color-coded by relative elevation or speed. It can't generate separate altitude profiles, unfortunately. Logs can be transferred off-phone using Galileo's cloud, or e-mailed directly by export once saved inside the app as a GPX or KML file. The maps are the usual set of OSM choices, some with topo lines and/or shading, and lots of labels. The maps are compact because they're in vector format rather than bit-maps. So one can download an entire large state like CA - or a region - in just a 32GB Phone. Maps for most of the world are available. Battery usage while recording is minimal, a full day uses less than half the charge in my iPhone 6s unless I'm constantly checking the map.
Extremely powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive

I have been using this on a long trip through rural Oregon. The ability to see your location on a map when you're offline is only the beginning. Altitude is handy. I used it to track my location while traveling obscure roads and now I will be able to retrace that route. There are many other features which I am just starting to explore with the help of the well-written user's manual.
Tracks anywhere, even without wifi.

I use it on my iPad in very rural areas. My iPad is not on a cellular network yet I can track my position, speed, elevation and lat/long. I even tracked myself on a plane going 300 mph. I tracked myself on a 4 day hiking trip in the mountains. I wish I knew how they can do it, but it works great. One improvement would be to change the color of roads and highways and trails to make them easier to follow.
Disappointing, even on sale

Terrible when compared to similar competitor. Streets without names. The way names of streets are presented when zoomed in is poor. What a shame. From the pics in the App Store and website this seemed to be a visually appealing navigation app, but in real world use it is sub par. A map that doesn’t give proper visuals is a? Hey, maybe this just isn’t for the Great Lakes region of the United States.
Excellent on an Ipad pro

I’ve been using this app when in unpopulated or mountainous areas, works wonderfully. I also ask if it’s possible to make this app carplay compatible.
your offline navigation isnt working when not in cellphone service or airplane mode

There are lots of twists and turns involved in getting to my in-laws cabin. I used to always have to ask, "is this where I turn?". This would always be followed with immediate "dummy" stare from my wife. Cut to this app. I tracked it one time and now I know every turn. Marriage saved ;)
