Yeah, Google Maps offline maps are very hit or miss for me. As an experiment, down a map area, turn your phone to airplane mode, quick and open up Google Maps again, and see how much you can browse. I don't trust it. Gaia, I trust.

Maps.me took a turn for the worse a few years back. The founders of Maps.me now make an open source version called
Organic Maps that works pretty much like it. But because it uses OpenStreetMap data, the points of interests are oftentimes not up to date (but you can go onto OSM and update them!).
But back to OP's question.. if you're in areas without cell service quite a bit, I'd get a dedicated GPS unit.
