I suspect the OP will be very disappointed in using only offline maps
downloaded to his phone.
While for road routing the online Google Maps can't be beat, since I do
backcountry hiking, I am very happy with offline topographical mapping.
I'm not disappointed but I use the free USGS geocalibrated PDF 7.5-degree
quadrangle maps, which work great in all the good offline map programs.
For road routing, it's hard to beat Google Maps, but OSMAnd~ isn't too bad
of a compromise given the OP does not happen to have cellular data service.
The main problem I find with OSMAnd~ road routing is the Address POI lookup
pales in completeness compared to that of the online Google Maps POI data.
And, of course, without Internet, I don't know how the OP does traffic.
