I am so used to using MapsWithMe which was re-named Maps.Me, that I see no reason to change. I load entire states when I have wifi. But this is for roads, does not show bike trails.

I also use Soviet Military Maps pro version (~$11) but that does not have routing. I like the bike trails and contour maps in the Open Streets Cycle layer, although the contour maps are metric instead of in feet. I use the bulk download feature when I have wifi.

But thanks for posting anyway, better GPS options are always appreciated.
