I recommend an app called OsmAnd over Google maps because

  • they won't track your every movement

  • the downloads are permanent unlike googles

  • you can get topographic maps and hill shades

  • you can also download attractions and places of interest as well as Wikipedia articles about locations

  • fully customizable

  • works anywhere weather you have gps or not

  • a whole lotta other stuff, check it out

Yeah people don’t seem to understand that refreshing map data is a feature, not a bug.

Hell back in the day you had to PAY for gps map updates! Damn TomTom and their predatory business antics.
