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.
Yes. I was referring to gmaps. Until recently you could download areas and see where you were, offline. They've now added offline routing.
Regarding offline apps (typically using OSM cartography), I'd say that car routing is usually good, albeit not as good as gmaps as far as driving is concerned. Bike routing is probably better than gmaps, but finicky because of strict adherence to routing rules. (Such as avoiding divided highways, even when you can legally ride them, whatever the cost in extra distance).
I typically use bRouter (Locus pro companion app) double checking routing and quite frequently fighting the algorithm tendency to get off a side track just because it is there, having you ride off and then on the main road.
