This stores state maps in the phone. So I only need a view of the sky for GPS and no cell service is needed.
I can launch the app in 3-5 seconds, and see my local area. Zooming in increases the detail dramatically. It's way easier for deciding ride options out on the road, instead if trying to use the tiny Garmin map.
It's great for hiking too, switching the map style to Walk instead of Drive, Bike, or General. Lots of hiking trails shown (but not everywhere.)
Just an FYI for the OP and anyone else I guess. In years past the Maps.Me app was a easy to use (easier than Osmand..and free for all 50 states and beyond) downloaded map (no cell connection needed) utility. In the last year Maps.Me has wandered down some rabbit hole and become fairly useless. BUT..former employees(I think) of Maps.Me have published the app "Organic Maps" that looks and operates exactly like the old Maps.Me. I've found Organic Maps(based on OpenStreet Maps) to have lots of obscure hiking trails that I wouldn't expect to be available. Just like Maps.Me, you'll need to download the Organic Maps(OM) map files that you want to use. I load tracks/routes into OM by extracting *.kml files from Ride With GPS and emailing them to myself. Open the emailed KML file in your cell and it'll load into OM. Your routes are then available in OM under the star on the bottom of the screen. You can toggle them on and off as needed. In the settings area of OM you can choose where you want the OM files stored. OM can also set up navigation between two points, much like most of us use google maps on our cell phones.
