Best offline android gps?

[waterwheel]

What are folks using for android GPS for use offline in areas without cell phone signal? I've downloaded a couple that use openstreet maps, and they basically suck.

Maverick. You can preload the sat imagery when you have service and save it to memory cache. Be sure to zoom in and save as well. I use it when I am in the mountains without cell service but still have Sat reception.

"Google Maps" has allowed you to store/cache chosen areas for offline usage for a while now. Not a topographical map or anything, but at least it's reliable...

I did not know that Google now allows you to store maps on your cellphone! Can you teach me how it is done?

Google maps satellite image has worked well for me when hunting or hiking, provided that you remember to pre-load it before entering the No cellphone signal zone. the new improved Google satellite image (available in some areas, still in progress) is incredibly detailed. i can see my hunt camp's outhouse! not sure if it is a good thing.

It's a google 'labs' option to pre-cache maps. Here you go:

If you have a newer phone, you don't even need these instructions, it'll be part of your app already.

1) Open Google Maps
2) Press your "Menu" button (looks something like this)
3) Tap on "Make available offline" and pinch to size the area
