When I use Maps.Me on my Android phone, it is off line as I always load the maps on wifi due to my tiny data plan. It does the routing off line and if I leave the route, it recalculates.

That app has bicycle routing too, but the few times I tried it, it did not pick very good routing. The bicycle routing is a pretty new feature.

I do not know if it has pedestrian routing or not, never looked for it.
