Offline map apps you buy once.

Pocket Earth PRO is built for offline map use, with GPX import/export, topo maps, and track logging that reviewers rely on for cycling and hiking. It's solid for most users, but some report GPX import breaking after iOS updates and slow response from support when offline map downloads fail.

Cyclists and hikers who want to download topo maps and GPX routes in advance and track their trips without a cell signal.

A handful of users report GPX import breaking after OS updates and app updates occasionally causing freezes, with slow or no response from the developer when things go wrong.

Reviewers consistently praise the tracking accuracy and battery-saving design, including a mode that preloads maps and uses airplane mode to cut power use during hikes. It's a straightforward tracker without the ad or subscription noise that plagues similar apps.

Hikers and dog-walkers who want to log routes and distance without draining their phone battery or getting nagged into a subscription later.

Guru Maps gets consistent praise for detailed offline maps that stay fast and light on battery even with large map sets loaded, plus solid GPX import/export for planning routes elsewhere. A minority of reviewers report crashes and location tracking going wrong, so it's not flawless.

Someone planning a long hike or road trip who wants to pre-load detailed offline maps and import GPX routes from tools like Furkot, then track their path without cell signal.

A handful of reviewers report crashes and location tracking freezing or drifting off by miles in recent versions.

CityMaps2Go's core promise—offline maps that just work—has broken for a meaningful chunk of recent users, with reviews split almost evenly between people praising offline access and people reporting it stopped functioning entirely. Combined with reports of near-total silence from support when things break, this feels like an app whose maintenance has slipped even though its purchase model hasn't changed.

Someone who wants a simple, easy-to-navigate offline city map for a single trip and doesn't need customer support if something goes wrong.

A significant number of recent reviewers say the offline maps feature itself has stopped working, and multiple reviewers report emailing support and getting no response at all.
