IIRC At one point Google Maps would let you download a map for browsing, but you couldn't do offline navigation. Don't know if that's still the case.

Organic Maps does the routing on the device.

it's had offline navigation for years now

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I should have really had this information a year ago when I was constantly screenshotting Google Maps, LOL.

The feature looks made ugly on purpose though (compared to organic maps where you can just download the whole country or select more precisely what you want)
