Am I misunderstanding also that Google Maps needs cell service even when I have downloaded the offline maps?

Yeah, you can absolutely use it all over the country with just satellites and no cell signal, but you need to have downloaded the maps you are due to use.
I.e. when I'm backpacking in the Sierra, I have no service, but as I've already downloaded all of the topo maps, I can just rely on satellites for location etc.
