Free GPS apps without internet
Maps.Me
Maps.Me is a free offline GPS based on OpenStreeMap (a project whose goal is to create a free and collaborative map of the world).
This GPS application contains millions of points of interest that can be very useful for you when traveling and visiting cities you don't know.
For example, you can find the nearest ATM, theatre, museum, hotel, restaurant or metro station to where you are.
On the other hand, it's impossible to specify that you want to avoid tolls when creating a route, and maps aren't always very accurate.
But knowing that OpenStreetMap is a collaborative GPS, you will also have the opportunity to participate in its enrichment by adding places to the map.
To use this free GPS offline, you can download a map of a country, region or city. Maps are updated regularly.
The other advantage of this offline GPS is that it offers hiking trails and bicycle routes, on roads adapted to this mode of transport.
Google Maps
Installed by default on most Android smartphones, Google Maps is undoubtedly one of the most popular free GPS apps. But did you know that this GPS also works offline?
To use this free GPS without Internet, just search for the city, world region or country you are interested in and, once it is displayed, click on the name or address of the place (at the bottom, below the map). You will see the “Download” button which allows you to save offline.
Maps on Google Maps are very legible and the way to go is clearly indicated, which is useful to avoid missing an exit.
The downside of Google Maps is that map downloads are limited. If you're planning a trip across Brazil, bad news: you won't be able to download all of Brazil at once to your cell phone.
Osman
OsmAnd is a free mapping application available for iOS and Android. This GPS app gives you access to all world maps and that's even in offline mode.
All map data can indeed be stored in your smartphone's memory for offline use. Another indication is that the maps are taken from the famous Open Street Maps base.
As far as the functionalities of OsmAnd are concerned, with this GPS application you also have visual and vocal guidance for the car, bicycle or pedestrian, traffic warnings, route recalculation along the road, but also the optional display of traffic lanes , without forgetting to estimate your arrival time or search for destinations by address or by center of interest.
