You never know when cell service and the internet could be unavailable or unsafe to use.

Downloading Organic Maps on your phone is free and allows you to have locally stored maps and navigation that works with GPS only.

Even downloading an entire country is usually under a GB depending on size and how many roads there are. You can even see some stores and stuff just like google maps.

Its easy to forget how much we rely on navigation when its always available. Bonus points it you pick up a cheap solar charger to keep your phone charged.

This isnt just useful for if things go bad. You can be on airplane mode and still use those maps so if your going to a protest or something and dont wanna be tracked its a great option. I use it for all my navigation personally.

    Organic Maps is great but there is also the option of OsmAnd+ which can be more detailed and can also download maps.
